This is a nice SAE set with a black handled low profile ratchet. All SAE sockets are there, from 3/8 to 3/4. Also included is an adaptor to put any 3/8 socket on the low profile ratchet. All but 1 socket and the 3/8 adaptor are missing the rubber O-rings that help retain the socket in the ratchet. These could be easily sourced at any hardware store.

$75 + shipping.

Just curious but do the O-rings last a decent amount of time before they fall off? The tool's design looks like it would be pretty hard on them.

Im not sure. If they are tight enough, Id really doubt it. These were mostly dry rotted when I got it, and broke off, probably from exposure to a chemical that dries out rubber.

The sockets are the same as the alignment ratchet sets. The O-rings hold up reasonably well if they are lubed occasionally. They are rubber after all and subject to drying out with age. There is a long handled flex ratchet of sorts and a short ratchet with a 1/2" or 3/8" female drive available that will work with this set as well.
