Really good wrench.. build quality is good but only issue i have with this is ring inside the wrench does not hold socket. socket keeps falling out as soon as i flip it up side down with socket in

Bought to use along side with my astro nano socket set. The internal detent clip does not hold the sockets securely and they constantly fall out. Would leave a much better review if this was resolved

I got this ratchet to work with my Astro low profile pass thru sockets and it works great. Small head on the ratchet coupled with a long handle gives you the ability to get the ratchet in places you couldn’t get it in with a normal sized ratchet. Easy five stars!

I got one that was returned knowing it probably wouldnt retain nano sockets and when I tested it, it did not. Use a pick to remove the retaining ring Use the round part of slip joint pliers to close the ring in smaller. I did untill the split ends touched. Keep it round Try working the 17mm hex end of a nano socket into the ring. Open it slightly in small amounts until the ring easily slides over the socket end. Sliding over the socket easily and locating into place is what the ring needs to do. Once it does, press the ring into place inside the ratchet. Now the ratchet should hold the socket. To get the ring out, I needed the thinnest tipped pick. Like, safety pin thin. You could just use a safety pin if you wanted If you press the ring into the ratchet as far as you can on one side, it should be exposed enough on the opposite side of the ratchet to wedge the pick behind the ring. Once you get the ring out enough snag it with tweezers/needle nose pliers/wedge more picks in so it cant snap back into place Good luck, add more tips in your review if it works for you too. My ratchet holds onto astro sockets like they owe it money now Edit: There is a lot of slop in the ratcheting. Like, roll your eyes everytime you use it. The amount it needs to take up before it engages seems really close to the distance to ratchet back a single tooth. It does work through. They should probably charge less for these things
