BMack37 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I know, I don't really need it but it's a killer price. I also wanted to check out the 84 tooth mechanism, some prefer it to the 120XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 It's, it's, it's sooo dinky, poor little thing. Well, maybe not as dinky as my Titan Micro... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMack37 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 This one might be small in length but it has more girth! I knew a girl like that in college, she was known to give very good... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stercorarius Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hmmmmm..... Self control is a bi**. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Whats that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Whats that? It's an elusive concept, some day I have it figured out and some days it has given up and ran off, leaving me alone standing with an open wallet at the tool store like a fool. It seems to me that I only have self control visit me after buying a proto pipe wrench that I really can't afford. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Received mine, definitely not even close to being as smooth as the 120XP but I'm sure some Superlube will improve this little guy. I mean who doesn't perform better with a little lube? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yea I might open mine up Monday to lube her up Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post comparison pics, I haven't seen the inside on a Snap-on 80. I'll post the inside of the 120XP with this stubby probably tomorrow.

Thought it was just me, although I figured it out faster than the fine tooth protos I got those are pretty interesting to take apart.

JimboS1ice Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Finally got a chance to tare down the ratchet the line is pretty dirty inside check it out A little bit of bare metal on the gear as well Hard to get it focused... Superlube to he rescue!! Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Glassey Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 You go Jimbo. Probably a good idea to do that to mine as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[emoji41] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm not into vehicle mechanical, nor am I Conductor, a machinist, or an engineer, but a bare spot of metal doesn't sound right. Nice job looking into that jimbo, good thing you got this forum to advise you to tear it down and superlube it!

JimboS1ice Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Interesting think is that it's symmetrical wear on the gear, same spot on both "sides" Jimbo Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
