I recently acquired a 3/8" ratchet numbered F720 and wondered if it might be possible to convert it to a quick release if I could find a kit on ebay. I frequently see repair kits for sale on various models, new and old, and am curious if such a conversion is even possible.
Thanks,
Lane in Mount Hermon

I think it would work. you would need a rkraf723 kit. you can order one from snap on
https://shop.snapon.com/product/supplem ... T/RKRAF723
you will need to replace everything, all the guts. loose the cover plate.

Re: 3/8" F720 conversion to quik release
Thanks a million snapmom. I somehow suspected it might be possible given the similarity between the 2 ratchets. I will order the repair kit today. On a side note, yesterday I purchased off ebay a WWII midget socket set and am excited beyond words. It appears to be all original compared to a couple of other offerings on the same venue. I would like to post photos when received ...... for any and all commentary from this forum regarding details and back story.

Look forward to seeing the set. If you have trouble with the conversion, you can send it to me, have done a few.

Thank you for that offer. Attempted to purchase the kit this morning but it was backordered and my order wasn't completed. Maybe they don't process backorders or I may have done something wrong. I have an account and have ordered before but not with something that wasn't in stock. I appreciate you! More on the WWII midget socket set when it comes in.
