    Here's another one, what's your favorite 1/4 ratchet?

    An even slimmer solution to this would be say EZ reds half cut torx on a flex ratchet xl wrench like GW. total height is about 0.5 inches and the flex makes it very nice.

    Super quick way to grab the right socket.

    I went with the Hanson rails which puts the sockets upside down and the number clearly visible on the post. I have also become more diligent in putting the socket right back once im done with it. they slide down and center themselves very easily. This has been one of the biggest efficiency...

    Nano sockets with phosphate coating?

    Look, another socket thread from me! Im looking to pick up some 1/2 drive nano impacts. Looks like Astro and Husky are black oxide, but the sunex may be phosphate coated? FWIW I despise black oxide finish, hard to keep clean. Anyone have the sunex and can confirm? Sunex 2673

    Here's another one, what's your favorite 1/4 ratchet?

    Yes i paid 147 with taxes. Tough pill to swallow, i looked for 3 weeks for a used one, no dice. And no truck in my area for cash discount. Also even tougher when a GW 7” locking flex is 40 bucks. But i bought both, after extensive hand fiddling, the MAC was the clear winner. After i breezed...

    Here's another one, what's your favorite 1/4 ratchet?

    I prefer the ratchet mechanism and the direction lever over the SO dual 80s tbh. But the lock release on the snap on is even quicker to use than MACs so im sticking with SO For the 3/8 12” version.

    Here's another one, what's your favorite 1/4 ratchet?

    Ive been pimping this one since the moment I received it. Love it and the locking mechanism. Makes for some really quick work. I use it with koken and blue point extensions that have some nice knurling on them, very easy to start a fastener and then deliver the speed with bending the handle on...

    Talk me in/out of a Hazet E torx set

    Found a set on ebay under a benz OEM part number. missing two of the original sockets but the price reflects that. Do I want these for 160? Do I want full chrome Snap ons used ~150? Currently have some cheap Titans which have done me no harm.. but missing 18, 20, 24 I work on Benz which loves E...

    @Buckgnarly The VIM magrails have revolutionized my speed when working with 1/4 drive bits. just ordered a 12” 1/4 with 40 nubs to house the half cut torx and half cut allens beside the xzn 1/4 drives. Makes snatching a bit out a breeze. added 3/8 snapon semi deeps and mac xtra deeps (2.7”to my...

    MAC Axis 1/4 locking flex head, who has used it?

    used the 1/4 ratchet extensively today with a koken wobble-fix extension with nut gripper socket/VIM 1.4 drive stubby triple square. very quick work. Was swapping between it and a matco 3/8 locking flex for the job. The matco lock mechanism feels very cumbersome and time consuming to use vs the...

I do low pro stretched tires on high end 3 piece wheels…definitely want some heat. Id preheat them with a heat gun before lol. if you do any more than a couple sets in he...

    low profile 1/2" drive sockets?

    Yes they are quite low pro but look to be std thick wall. The large 20mm+ Look to be shorter height than the kokens though as the kokens grow in height the larger the diameter

    MAC Axis 1/4 locking flex head, who has used it?

    Im going to do a video review of these two as they both have pros and cons. biggest things: Mac needs to be 1” longer Gw handle way too thin for my hands. Cramps will surely develop Backdrag on gw is lower. Mechanism is smoother Mac lock and on/off mechanisms are far superior. i meeed a 12”...
