haha snap on ratchets never need oiling !!!
oiled ratchets attract dust/dirt...
Which promotes wear and ending up with lose mechanisms.Quote:

lol you should become friends with my ex-work mate he has snap on only, roll cab + top box + side box ....
i made the mistake of WD40'ing hte head of my dads ratchet doing DIY as a 8 year old on my bike. Worked great for another 20 minutes then went all clunky and shite on me lol
so its a no go to oil your ratchets ?
