T – Series Ratchets

Snap-on’s “T-series” of ¼ inch square drive, 72 tooth ratchets, offers a variety of handles and features that allow getting into tight spaces to get the job done. The low-profile design makes every fraction of an inch critical for performance and safety.

When making repairs or re-assembling a T72 or any of the other T-series ratchets, it is important, for safety reasons, to use the SPP932 head holder (see Fig 1). The SPP932 is a convenient and safe way to hold the head while tightening the plate screws during re-assembly.

If any foreign material is at the bottom of the threaded hole for the plate screws or the hole depth is too deep, the SPP932 will protect your hand upon tightening of the plate screws. The SPP932 (or the SPP938 kit that includes the SPP932) can be ordered from Snap-on.
