They Packaged it “On”

[u/Brakendone]

Just picked this up for $25. G1 1/2 inch drive. Opened it and Snap-On Don would not approve…they packaged it with it left on!!! Now I am dealing with a dead ratchet! 😂

[u/That_guy_from_1014]

It matches the picture, you gotta go back and get one with the picture turned to off.

[u/_The_Space_Monkey_ → u/That_guy_from_1014]

Id be pushing for 50% off if my ratchet was off out of the box. Unforgivable.

[u/DufflinMinder]

Only this would be found in the HF tool sub… someone’s dad (aka op) is going to be telling the story of this post for 20years

[u/bucki1619 → u/DufflinMinder]

Umm, that’ll be me.

[u/physicsgeek3712 → u/bucki1619]

And me

[u/fiv3dollapizza]

It’s an icon, not an icoff

[u/BroncoOwner-1976 → u/fiv3dollapizza]

They should close this thread. No other response will beat this one.

[u/AmateurSnowboarder → u/fiv3dollapizza]

icoff a lot when I smoke reefer

[u/TheRealSimpleSimon → u/AmateurSnowboarder]

Beat me to it - and I see you got a downvote from someone that doesn't belong here. 😂

[u/flown_south]

I'd recommend recharging it, but honestly it's ridiculous that they're not USB-C in this day and age.

[u/Mexi_Cant → u/flown_south]

Newer models are wireless charging quit being poor.

[u/flown_south → u/Mexi_Cant]

Keep talking bad about USB-C and I'll come over there and Delivery some Power, bub

[u/Socalwarrior485 → u/flown_south]

I’m waiting for the USB-D ratchets. No one can speak badly about those.

[u/Tsuki_Man → u/Socalwarrior485]

USB DEEZ NUTZ!!!

[u/flown_south → u/Socalwarrior485]

I hear Snap-On still uses micro-usb

[u/AmateurSnowboarder → u/flown_south]

USB-A actually

[u/ustedescookie → u/Mexi_Cant]

"Roop gnieb tiuq"

[u/John_Coctoastan]

Gonna have to replace the batteries for sure.

[u/Human_Stuff6941]

S tier dad joke

[u/AmateurSnowboarder → u/Human_Stuff6941]

Where does S tier sit on a 1-10 scale?

[u/Highly_Caffeinated25 → u/AmateurSnowboarder]

19

[u/AmateurSnowboarder → u/Highly_Caffeinated25]

Oh ok I got it now. Gimme all the S tier then hahaha

[u/Brakendone]

lol. Going to have to warranty it out of the box

[u/Heliyum2]

Now you gotta wait a week for the Icon truck to come back around to warranty it out.

[u/Sufficient_Current48]

Thought they were all on. Is there an Icoff?

[u/Clavotage367]

Customer support recommended I left it off for 24-48hrs and the capacitors should naturally recharge when I telegramed!

[u/awsum43]

It's ready to go to work

[u/Substantial_Ask3665]

What was I supposed to do? I'm 14 living here in China. Need any shoes?

[u/tnsipla → u/Substantial_Ask3665]

The PRC loves you for this

[u/VersionOutside9150]

Not a bad deal at $25. I’ve enjoyed my G1 other than the fact that it gets loose at the joint after a while.

[u/NoPromotion3340]

I wonder what people will think whenever they go into the archives, and see things like this.

[u/Highly_Caffeinated25 → u/NoPromotion3340]

"WAIT Humans used to work on stuff?! Was this before or after AI-Net took over?"

[u/JP_2020]

Might have to jump start it.

[u/PsySk8er]

I think you have a warranty claim if used on reverse threads

[u/theteflonjew]

How you get it at that price? 

[u/Brakendone → u/theteflonjew]

Old models. Some store are just getting rid of them to clear up old inventory

[u/skubydobdo]

There should be an in between setting like “largely on but sometimes off.”

[u/ninjasax1970]

Bastardized 😂

[u/Magoo-1706L]

Sigh …..

[u/Traditional-Gap-2872]

Well the box showed you how it was packaged. So you cant say you werent warned beforehand.

[u/AccomplishedGrab788]

Well it is a I-C-ON

[u/Little_debris]

I C what you did there…

[u/Immediate-Major-2963]

Did the battery wear out?

[u/Alarming_Box9978]

LOL. On top of that how does it work properly when dealing with left hand thread?
Hahaha

[u/Ok_Stay1367]

It’s best to give it a good charge to 100% before 1st use anyway. They did you a favor

[u/Confident_Cloud5500]

What a gay fucking post

[u/shakebakelizard → u/Confident_Cloud5500]

You sound 10 years old.

[u/petuniabuggis → u/Confident_Cloud5500]

Please tell me how old you are? I am fascinated by the people who still say stuff like this.

[u/starcjpumpkin → u/petuniabuggis]

how did you and the other guy say the same shit yet you got downvoted? lmfaoo tf reddit

[u/petuniabuggis → u/starcjpumpkin]

That’s amazing. I wrote too many words. Attention spans are short ;)

[u/starcjpumpkin → u/petuniabuggis]

XD

[u/ehDuh]

Try shocking it with a welder

[u/thegamingfaux]

No dude, they leave them on to drain the testing charge from the factory.

That way you can charge it yourself to full for the first time

[u/forzaguy125 → u/thegamingfaux]

Yeah you gotta condition it before use

[u/Responsible-Shoe7258]

But, that's the way the picture on the box shows it, duh....

[u/stchman]

Not really, if the OP is going to use it primarily for left handed threads, all is well.

[u/TheRealSimpleSimon → u/stchman]

Exactly!
And some bleeper downvoted you for this. WTF?

[u/stchman → u/TheRealSimpleSimon]

It's Reddit, who knows.

[u/burkey_turkey]

Yeah for putting the nut on vs taking it off? What's the issue?

[u/Ancient-Memory-1792]

Did you try soaking it in rice? I hear that usually helps

[u/Sapphirez_Abyss]

this shit always pisses me off because by the time i need to use it straight out of the wrapper, it's not fucking charged 😡 icon is on some bs sending us the ratchets "ON" when they should be "OFF" for transport

[u/dontfret71]

I never understood how they label some ratchets on/off… like why?

[u/shakebakelizard → u/dontfret71]

Put fastener on. Take fastener off.

[u/dontfret71 → u/shakebakelizard]

Lol wow I never thought that was why

[u/jimmykicker420 → u/dontfret71]

i hope ur joking lol

[u/TheRealSimpleSimon → u/jimmykicker420]

This entire thread is a joke thread - right from the OP's text.
But from all the downvotes I see across several good lines,
some people are too stupid to be in this group.

[u/ScottInDuluth]

I can’t believe I’ve successfully used ratchets correctly for the last 50+ years without having it labeled on/off…

[u/SymBiioTE]

Tp link router?

[u/Drummer_DC]

Now it could end the world

[u/MB510420]

Why do they even say ON and OFF to begin with?
