Rachet

Ok dumb question
where - what rachet is the very long one i see people rolling the motor over with
where can i get one short of making one

 

I took a 30" Snap On flex bar and a flex headed ratchet and just switched the heads !

They have a torx screw in them !

 

Find yourself a decent brand 1/2" rachet with a round handle. Get a piece of chrome moly tubing with the right size ID. Have someone with a lathe knurl the last 5" on one end for the handle and tig weld it on to the rachet. I think mine is an old Bonnie brand rachet.

 

Exactley that , I bought a cheap / good ratchet and added the tubing , we made ours long enough to use as one of the tubes we use to lift the blower off.....

 

i have a craftsman with about 16 or 18 inch stock handle only thing i dont like about it is that it has a swivel head if you would like i will dig it out of the trailer and get the number off the handle, just let me know
don

 

We took a breaker bar type handle (cheap one) and added a rachet adapter (snap on). It gets heavy and bulky with that adapter. But I just saw a long breaker bar type rachet the other day. Made by Pro Tools, (cheap). I think it was $35 or $40. Its on my christmas list already.

 

I have been checking and found this one online,
anyone use this brand?

I have made two of them
rachet from Tractor Supply and a 24" pc of chrome moly tubing welded onto it

 

Craftsman short 1/2 with 7/8 or 1 inch tube welded on it.

 

rachet roll over bar

made mine from a older torque wrench that was gave to me
welded a 1" .058 c/m x 24" tube to it
works like a champ
and didn't cost hardly anything

Titan?

I've never heard of them. But is 24" long and using it as a turn bar doesn't take that much force, so I would think it would be great.

 

Every year I buy qty 3 - 18" long cheap wrachets at a local swap meet, the cheap tool guy is always there. $8/each

 

Took the longest Craftsman swivel head 1/2" drive ratchet I could find.

Grabbed a 1/2" drive breaker bar.

http://www.craftsman.com/shc/s/p_10...t+Accecssories&prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=L1

Removed the pin from the breaker bar and removed the 1/2" drive. Ground down the end of the ratchet handle to fit in to the slot of the breaker bar and welded them together.

In addition to turning the engine over with ease, I've used this to break loose some really tight or frozen parts. End to end length is 39".

 

FYI
I did get one of these as i never heard of Titan either
seems at first glance to be a nice 24" long ratchet
for the price i cant fool around and make one

 

Did you buy it long ago enough to wear it out yet?

 

I have used other Titan tools and not had any problems. I just purchased the Titan 1/2' drive extendable ratchet. Extends from 18" to 24" in 2" increments. Looks identicle to the one Summit offers other than being extendable. I really like the firm handle grip when your hands have a little oil on them.
