L-72T 3/4" Ratchet question.

Hello, I understand collecting to be the main focus of the forum, and I must admit I don't collect Snap-On but I do own a few. I was hoping that someone might have some information in their collection that might help me. I recently purchased a Snap-On L-72T 3/4" ratchet. I occasionally build rearends for cars and light duty trucks, and there is a need at times to tighten certain pinion nuts to almost 400 ft.lbs to get the crush collar to collapse. Would anyone know if the L-72T ratchet was rated for that much torque? Thank you for any information you can offer.
Mike

They use the heads on their 600 ft lb torque wrenches, so 400 isn't a problem.
