Snap-On L-52-B and N-4542-B
Posted: Thu Jul 19, 2018 1:19 pm
Hello everyone, new to the forums but hoping to stick around.
I recently traded a torque wrench for this Snap-On breaker bar. Looks pretty normal except the handle has "Snap-On N-4542-B USA 3" on it and is 25" long. The diameter is the standard 13/16". The head can be removed and it accepts a ratchet or the L-112E flex head, as it has the spring-loaded locking pin on one end and the fixed ball at the other. Can't find this part number in any 1950s catalog (date code looks like 1953 on both head and bar) or on the major websites that list old Snap-On tools, or anywhere on the internet for that matter. Am I missing something?
