New Tekton extra shallow socket and tiny 1/4 ratchet Releases

[Fedwrench]

Greeting all, I did a quick search, but nothing came up. I apologize if this is a duplicate post. Tekton released a couple of new items this week.

First were stubby 1/4 drive flex head ratchets with or without quick release. What makes these interesting to me is there's a male 1/4 square drive tang on the end of the handle. Now, this could be a way around other brands' patents The tang offers you the ability to attach various; length extensions, bit holders or anything else 1/4 drive. Could be useful. I think $40 is on the high side but, that's close to what a NORA version is.

Flex Head Ratchets | TEKTON

Shop 180-degree flex head ratchets in 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 inch drive sizes. Available with comfort grip or polished handles, and in quick-release or classic non-quick-release styles.

www.tekton.com

Followed by 3/8 drive extra shallow six-point sockets in SAE & Metric. I don't think these sockets will inspire someone to give up their Zeal sockets but, the range out to 24mm in metric or one inch in SAE is impressive to me. I do like the availability of individual socket right away too. I'll wait for a side-by-side comparison with Astro nanos on you tube before picking them up.

3/8 Inch Drive Extra-Shallow 6-Point Socket Set (8 - 24 mm) | TEKTON

17-piece set includes 8 - 24 mm (metric) extra-shallow 6-point sockets. Comes with organization rail. No skipped sizes. SHD91134.

I really think the Nano line has made conventional "extra shallow" sockets obsolete. I have a set of extra shallows that I keep because they are 12pt, but I'm all in on the Nano stuff.

I really wish tekton would release a nano dual drive line of sockets.

while I’m dreaming I want there L handle in 1/4 drive which literally is the most useful of the three drives for this kinda tool but the only one they don’t make they just got 3/8 and 1/2 and I do like the 3/8 one it’s nice with a rethreader set plus right size sae socket but 1/4 would be good for the actual use



i just imagine they made a bad decision on the L wrench sizes and see they don’t sell and now don’t release the 1/4 even though that’s the one that would sell. And hope they don’t see no body buying their super shallow chrome sockets and decide that must mean there’s no market for nano dual drives

I want this in 3/8 I don’t personally got much use for this in 1/4 but the 3/8 would make a sweet travel kit for the car.

 

[KnurledNut]

That ratchet design reminds me of the PowerTorque version O'reilly currently sells in 3/8 drive for $20. I always thought a 1/4 version would be a good addition to the line but it never surfaced. Tekton going with a flexhead certainly ups the ante.

 

[AEAdam]

Just in case this helps anyone: I have low profile sockets and never ever use them. This has come up before and friends here say they are indispensable and I take their word for it.

Also, a 1/4” ratchet with a handle shorter than a T72 is not on my wish list.

I personally feel as tho these are solutions searching for problems.

Pretty sure @YoshiMoshi3 had a scenario, maybe a Toyota, where he was trapped beside a frame rail. I guess my point is, there certainly are challenging situations. Whether this category of tools will really help in those isolated and specific situations remains to be seen. My low profile tools have never once “saved my ***”. I probably could have used them in places where I could have gone a bit faster.

They can be beneficial on electric or air ratchets. A contributing factor into the Milwaukee insider.

That whole page of features and not one dimension on how tall these extra-shallow are. Isn't that sorta like the only important part?
Ima guess they are not more shallow than nano's, or at least the largest sizes arent as nano's are all the same height.

Ahh I see, gotta go to the individual socket pages. Nice, thnx
Looks like many sizes are shorter than nano's, some are around the same, and the largest sizes are a little longer than nano's

[Bigblue&Goldie]

My shallows are made by OEM. I took the smallest (8mm) and largest (18mm) of the OEM set in 3/8" drive and took some pictures compared to their Nano 3/8" drive equivalents. I then put the OEM's in the thinnest 3/8" ratchet I own (HF dual head) and the Nano's in their specific ratchet. They might be made by the same factory as there is some resemblance? Tekton's sight shows 1/4" drive diagrams for their 3/8" drive sockets, so I don't know if their depth numbers are accurate for a true comparison?

are they really though? Astro is original. Quinn makes some but not 1/4 And doesn’t make the ratcheting wrenches. Both are impact only no chrome

snapon makes 1/4 only and uses a nonstandard spring clip tbh

vim makes some in chrome but unless you got a tool truck who carries them it don’t make sense to pay retail price for vim its insane pricing and if you buy from jbtools which is sometimes cheaper you get zero warranty

okay to be fair you get a warranty from vim but you have to pay shipping plus a fee so you mine as well be buying a whole new socket anyway. I don’t think it counts if they give you a free $5 socket as a warranty replacement for $10 shipping fee.

tekton would be amazing in dual drive low profile sockets.

 

[pinebeetle1]

Not just automotive uses for sockets... I use short,stubby cut down allen's, small sockets, stubby ratchet every day doing machine adjustments where otherwise I have would have to move or remove stuff to get to what I need to move. Saves a bit of time if you're changing constantly for small runs. Pressure elements, feed wheels, guides n chipbreakers... I'll prob pick up the 3 or 4 sizes I can use, love they sell singles...

 

[decableguy2000]

The dual drive Diehard set is nice for chrome, and a large range. Diehard set
I also have the Power Torque set in SAE and metric from ORielly's
I find these more useful with Astro's low profile ratchet than a short socket. The Diehard and Power Torque ratchets aren't bad.
I've got the stubby flex ratchet in my cart from Tekton.

Infar Taiwan makes these and offer the 1/4 with the drive lug at the end of the handle as well, but I couldn't find anyone that stocks them. They also make them in flex head as well, but without the drive lug. I found them at Webike Japan from a company called SK11.

Oh good catch, the drawings for the Tekton's are 1/4" drive

How many non-impact socket have you broken in your life where a warranty on a $4-10 item would mean you're going to miss dinner because of that astronomical expense?

My answer is one broken chrome socket over 40 years. And I managed to be able to not miss any meals.

This focus on warranty here on an item that costs as much as a happy meal is just ridiculous.

It doesn’t though it would be like 20 bucks to buy a single socket off vims site with their shipping prices and there site is real hard to navigate. Good luck finding the single socket you need. Tekton site is real easy to navigate and find anything. Vim would be a adventure to find the socket to drop the $20 on the single socket shipped.

tekton you get free shipping at $25 and easy to find the socket too

@Steve_P good points, but it's not the money anyone should be concerned about to your point.

#1 We should expect tools that don't fail. And "failure" in this context means "fails to remove fastener". If I destroy a tool removing a bolt and the repair can continue, honestly, I'd be upset about that, but that's almost acceptable to me.

You described me pretty well. I'm rushing to make it to dinner and the shattering of chrome 6pt fasteners is absolutely astronomical for me now. I'm not as strong as I was (no where near). My tools are MUCH better quality, I have more wisdom and experience (which possibly negates the need for better tools, as many of you have said) and more importantly, more OPTIONS than I once had.

@Ryan originally posted about this guy :

Thank you @Ryan, he's wonderful. This video is my definition of a tool failure even tho the tool appeared to have not been damaged. I hope all of you watch it. This exactly represents issues I had working on cars and the experience/advice I seek to pass on to all of you. It also is the exact situation I seek to avoid. I don't have a lift and a handy mig welder. I'm not sure what I would have done in this situation.

One more thing, while I have your attention. I think the mechanic in this video needs an SHLF80A. He really seems to struggle with a pretty short 1/2" ratchet. I think I saw him switching to a sliding tee bar and a pipe a couple times.

okay okay man you getting a commission from snap on for those

I know I sound like a broken record. Apologies. If you watch the video, it’s hard to watch him grunting and struggling with that little 1/2”ratchet. And it’s not even a nice one. Pretty sure his tools are Proxxon, which are Chiwan made I think.

But who’s to argue. He fixes a lot of old cars with those tools.

At what point do you jump to 3/4 drive instead of the 2 foot long $300 snap on 1/2 drive ratchet

 

[Fedwrench]

I'm not sure if an uber long ratchet would help him in this instance. I think a RBRT type bit with a 15-18 inch long ratchet would be beneficial. Too long of handle will just shear the head faster. I think in this case it's more about the bit and its fitment into the fastener head but, that's just me.

That didn't look like a tool issue, it looked like a technique problem. Fully seat the bit into the faster before applying torque, not after the faster is buggered up.
My best analogy would be the Phillips head screws that retain brake rotors, even my daughter knows to use the impact driver and then hit it with a hammer like you actually intend to remove the screw. I won't even talk about the welding technique. Unfortunately, my rust belt faster removal skills are too well developed.

 

[AEAdam]

At what point do you jump to 3/4 drive instead of the 2 foot long $300 snap on 1/2 drive ratchet

Well, after you’ve exhausted 1/2” drive. Looks like his Proxxon 1/2” ratchet is about a foot long. The SHLF80A twice that, so half as much applied force for the same torque. Kinda a no brainer.

Funny should you mention and thanks for watching. I thought at least his second attempt was on a bit of an angle. I would have been a little bit more careful.

Regardless, it’s a great example of my experience and what I talk about all the time here. Just one fastener like that can ruin an afternoon or sometimes worse. And note it was a bit socket that done it!

You are old enough and have enough technical training to know that the most important tool in the problem solving process isn't in the tool box. Experiences, both good and bad shape how we move forward. Eventually we learn that the appropriate tools, sequences, and techniques are paramount.

Fortunately, I am at the stage in life where the hiccups are not going to ruin my afternoon, day, or weekend. With enough time, effort, or money I will prevail. Of course, the goal is always to mitigate damage because there is a finite amount of time, energy, and money.

When things go sideways on a job and you get the project back on track, and completed, don't tell me that you don't feel like a superstar, even if nobody in your family knows what you went through to get the job done.

Good luck with your projects.

I love ultra low profile stuff, and have a lot of data on these types of tools.

Not bad. The thinnest 1/4 square drive ratchet is Koken 2725Z, 2725ZB-160 and Tone R2H at 9.5 mm (not including anvil height). Yes, there are external hex drive sockets, but there are no external hex drive torque wrenches. You could use a torque wrench adapter I suppose to get thinner and use that on a torque wrench, but most torque wrench adapters are 12 point. So ultra low profile square drive sockets (not external hex drive) still have a purpose and are not obsolete. Ultra low profile square drive sockets are thinner than the external hex drive stuff, believe it or not. It's only once paired with a ratcheting box end does the benefit realize.

But those Tekton ratchets are within 1 mm or so of the world's thinnest 1/4 square ratchets at less than half the price. Nice find.

In my case on my Camry, it was a transmission pan bolt, and the clearance was less than the overall length of the world's smallest 1/4" square drive 10 mm socket, Koken 2400MZ-10 at 15 mm in overall length. Yes, I could just loosen the transmission mount and jack it up a bit to make more space, but I was hoping to find a solution without having to do that to save time. There are other solutions like extended box wrenches, but I can't use a torque wrench on that.

There are external hex driven sockets, like the nano sockets, that you can pair with a 6-point ratcheting box end, to make the clearance even less. In my case this wouldn't have worked either, but would have gotten me closer. Additionally, I'm weird and like to torque every bolt that has a torque spec, especially if it keeps oil in. External hex drive socket wouldn't help me with my torque wrench situation.

Oh, wait there are some HF ratchets that are super thin box ends, but have some sort of square drive mechanism. There's a 1/4 one that "may" be thinner Koken 2725Z, 2725ZB-160 and Tone R2H. However there's some stigma on HF. I didn't take detailed notes, but when I measured it at a store, the HF 67994 the 3/8 end is 9.9 mm but I'm not sure if this includes the anvil or not. I'll have to double check the next time I am near a HF, and measure the 1/4" end as well.

My torque wrench database is not nearly as complete. There's not a lot of details published online. But I have 151 members in my database. If anyone here is curious, I believe the world's thinnest 1/4" square drive torque wrench is GearWrench 85194 at 10.16 mm (not including the anvil) and there height including the anvil is not published. Tone T2DT30H has a published 1/4" square drive torque wrench whose overall thickness is 10.3 mm (not including the anvil) and 19.5 mm in overall thickness including the anvil. If we assume the square drive is the same thickness on all ratchets (not sure if this is a valid assumption or not), then the GW 85194 may be the thinnest. Would need someone with it to take a measurement to confirm it's thinner than the Tone T2DT30H

Also on the topic of external hex drive sockets, I heard that you are "not supposed to" break a fastener free with a ratcheting box end because it will brake the ratchet mechanism, but you can do so with an external hex drive socket?

 

[Professor Gascan]

I have sets of extra shallow sockets from Power Torque, Astro, and Gearwrench in 1/4 and 3/8 and they are my go to's unless I need the depth or clearance.

I find the shorter the socket the easier it is to keep the force directly in line with the fastener with less chance of twisting off. I notice it even more with a long flex head.

The same goes for the sets of CTA stubby hex and torx bits that slip into a wrench or socket. The closer I can get the pivot point to fastener head, the better. Doubly so if I can't get my other hand on the back of the ratchet to make sure it stays fully seated.

As nice as stubby sockets are for access, they ended up being pretty good at keeping me squarely on fasteners.

 

[YoshiMoshi3]

WOW!!! Ok, so the worlds thinnest 10 mm 3/8" square drive socket was Snap-On RFSM10 at 17.3 mm. That Tekton 3/8 set at 17.018 is now the worlds smallest 3/8" square drive 10 mm socket. The other sizes are also the world's thinnest. I'm definitely picking up that set. It looks like that 3/8" square drive Tekton set contains many WORLD RECORDS for the thinnest sockets!!! I'm going to pick up a set. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!!! Also quantitatively, this set is smaller than those astro nano sockets, it's not up for debate lol. Unless Tekton tells lies on the published overall length.

Is Tekton going to release 1/4 and 1/2 square drive versions???

yea but it’s not the socket length that matters as much as socket plus ratchet and a third of the nano socket length is wiped away when you insert into the special ratcheting wrench

but whatever I’m gonna buy one of the 10mm singles from tekton now that you mention it can’t have enough 10mm sockets and there real easy to order singles off the website free ship on $25 orders.

Ah yes,but torque wrenches can't directly drive external hex of a nano socket

 

[mikey03]

Ah yes,but torque wrenches can't directly drive external hex of a nano socket

But wouldn’t you be using a 1/4 torque wrench on 10mm esp if space is so tight only a nano socket would fit, you get the smaller head of a 1/4 torque wrench and it’s in line with the torque needed.

probably run the torque wrench up to 13mm in 1/4 drive I would think for the m8 bolts I think they are in 12 and 13mm heads

Right what I am saying is:
Overall tool height of (10 mm super shallow 1/4 square drive socket + 1/4 torque wrench) < overall tool height (10 mm dual drive 1/4 square and external hex (aka nano socket) + 1/4 torque wrench)

Super shallow square drive socket plus torque wrench is less overall height than a nano socket plus torque wrench.

You could use a torque adapter to use the external hex drive, but they are all 12 point except for a single snap on 10 mm box end torque adapter that is 6 point (truly only the 10 mm hex version is 6 point, rest is 12). And you would your nano socket to be magnetic or retaining in some other way like with a ball detent, to unfasten a vertical fastener.

Also your not supposed to use a ratcheting box end ratchet to brake fasteners free, but you can do it with a "nano" ratchet that is essentially a ratcheting box end? I had some cheap ratchet box end and broke it trying to unfasten some brake caliper bolts with it. Maybe it was just because it was cheap. But I have heard from others they are only meant to ratchet on and off, not to break free fasteners.

Breaking fasteners loose with ratcheting wrenches is fine within reason. Maybe the wrench you broke was not a quality wrench but a brake caliper bolt is not a place I would use one.

That's what I'm thinking. It was fastened to about 80 ft lb on I think was the spec, and I know nut busting torque is different than fastening torque.

Is using a "nano" socket driven by its external hex using its respective external hex ratchet (for all intents and purposes a ratcheting box end) on brake caliper bolts also not a good idea?

 

[mikey03]

Right what I am saying is:
Overall tool height of (10 mm super shallow 1/4 square drive socket + 1/4 torque wrench) < overall tool height (10 mm dual drive 1/4 square and external hex (aka nano socket) + 1/4 torque wrench)

Super shallow square drive socket plus torque wrench is less overall height than a nano socket plus torque wrench.

oh but I thought tekton was just making super shallow sockets in 3/8 drive didn’t realize they had 1/4 too

 

[Professor Gascan]

oh but I thought tekton was just making super shallow sockets in 3/8 drive didn’t realize they had 1/4 too

Tekton's website lists them as 3/8, but when you click on them and scroll to the spec section it shows them as 1/4 drive.

 

[YoshiMoshi3]

Oh ok go you. Yea it's 3/8 and not 1/4. But the same concept applies, right?
