Ratcheting wrenches with retaining ring for fasteners

[shockwave]

I just purchased the Mac precision torque ratcheting wrench bundle and noticed there is a ring to hold fastener that is very useful

And a great selling point as my Proto spline USA do not have this and no others have I seen with this

So I know these are same as facom and Asian made but who else offers this design in the ratcheting box end

The first time I saw this feature was on the ASTRO ratcheting wrench that they sell that compliments their NANO sockets. Works great for that purpose.

A coworker of mine has a set of sears/Craftsman reversible racheting combination wrenches with a retaining ring that he said were sold in stores only. Allegedly

These Bahco ones do that I have, I've used them for nearly 10 years now and have to say the retaining ring has put me off a lot of other spanners. I bought a set of Wera ones that barely see any use purely because they don't have the feature.
