Ewww. Ball detent drives me mad. My 18" matco locking flex (3/8" drive) is probably my most used ratchet now. The detent would cause issues for me getting smoothly around objects one handed.

Diameter of the shank of the shaft on the bit used. The part inserted into the tool. The larger size is typically on a stronger/heavier duty tool.

An electric striking hammer that does similar work as a pneumatic "air" hammer. Something to add to your addiction/tool stable. Hoping it does well when they test them. Kind of a tough sell at $600 a pop tho, if it doesn't work as well as pneumatics ones.

Whaaaaaa? That's sick. But yes gen2 .498 is needed now. I wonder how long a 5 or 6ah battery lasts on it.

You have to shave the round tabs inside the light hinge for it fit reversed.

Clarks has a pair m18 xc5.0's for 95 or m12 5.0ho for 65 ea. Gotta log in to see prices.

X-beams are pretty nice if you can live without the flex. https://www.gearwrench.com/all-tools/wrenches/ratcheting-wrenches/85888-12-piece-72-tooth-12-point-xl-x-beamtm-ratcheting-combination-metric-wrench-set

Kabo made extra longs (icon, k-tool, mountain, platinum, etc). With the opposite head gripped in your hand, it's better than most comfort wise. You can remove the smaller head off one side and add heat shrink if you want to make it even more comfortable.

Matco does a 31-32", depending on handle.

It was worth it for me. If you're only doing carbide bits, not so much. But with 3" cutoff wheels, roloc sanding discs, etc.

Or get two and in true GJ fashion, mod one. I did.

After crossing the country 3x my brand-used 21/22mm kti wrench showed up to go under the knife (or chop saw in this case). Not sold on the wrench holder though. Might have to come up with something else.

I've also got the genius semi-deeps. I like them. The thinner, stepped wall, has helped in a few spots.

A dab of rubber cement will fix that. Slide them down, add a drop or two, smear it around and slide back up. You can get fancy and rough up the aluminum if you wanna be *********.

Thanks to the inspiration of @pfbz , I cut down my spare set of ratcheting wrenches.
