Very low profile ratchet and sockets

[bixxjs]

Hi All
Snap on 210RAFSM is a very low profile ratchet and metric socket set.Do any other manufacturers make a SAE version?

If you don't have a penchant for truck brands, this set can be found under a few different names for around $50.

Maybe Koken?

But Snap on does make a SAE set...https://store.snapon.com/FLANK-DRIVE-174-LOW-PROFILE-SOCKETS-C796461.aspx

Would the Pass-through sets work? They are pretty low profile.

Koken Zeal or pass through sets.

 

[M6erfan]

Koken Zeal or pass through sets.

Does Koken Zeal come in SAE?

 

[ex-x-fire]

King Tony makes some extra short impact sockets, not sure if in sae though.

I don't know about sets, but we sell a low-profile ratchet that's really nice...PowerTorque GM6146. I have one and it's a nice ratchet to work with.

Ah no, scrub the Zeal.

I would rather buy a brand I know of,Proto ,Mac or Cornwell.

The handle of that power torque ratchet very closely resembles the Craftsman low profile.

Wright Open head ratchets give good clearance laterally.

Has anyone used the Sunex low profile impact sockets? They can use ratchet or wrench on them. I saw them on Amazon....look cool....

New product from KTC in the NEPROS line:

NBRC390 and NBRC390L

Looks like the 390L is the one to get, as the others are very short, more like 1/4" ratchets in proportions.

I'm not an expert -
Lowest profile ratchet I've seen is this HF model. The body is only 1/2" tall, and still has a socket release button.. gets good reviews. Handle is only as tall as a wrench, and has a flex head with a 1/4" drive on the opposite end. The other drive can always be removed if wanted.

Let me know if you're interested, like new with hex head set.

Offset ratcheting wrenches might be a cheaper option ezred made a short set a few years ago

Snapon has an sae

Dang, look at the chrome on that puppy! Looks thick enough to swim in!

 

[toolenthusiast]

Snap-On RAF80 is 0.75" thick with no socket attached, 1.25" thick with the 10mm socket. It can get into places that a ratchet has no business going.

oreillys has these

1/4 drive and very low profile

Would the Pass-through sets work? They are pretty low profile.

This is what I grab. Probably only a couple of times a year.

I keep forgetting to recommend this ratchet...
It seems like it is built from the same blank as my Tekton double-box end 6pt ratcheting wrenches, like the 17x19mm size.

Lot of leverage, very low profile, quick release. I didn't like the feel of it on my hand so I put some heat shrink on the beam.
