>>2031811>>2031835This is also why I have shilled the Gearwrench 4pc flex head set so many times, 84-tooth long handle 1/2”, 3/8”, and 1/4” plus a stubby 3/8” and the set would go on sale for <$90.
Pic related looks cool too, real compact heads. I’m indifferent to the quick release button, you lose a tiny bit of strength in the square but at that point you should be using a breaker bar. Anyway, there’s so many anons like myself that grew up with Craftsman socket sets and those shitty 36-tooth ratchets and the 3/8” drive is only like 8” long so you get no torque on it. When I got my first flex heads, the Pitt Pro long handle 3/8” and 1/2”, it made automotive stuff so much easier because I didn’t need an extension and/or u-joint for everything just to be able to swing the handle around. Plus the newer fine tooth mechanisms, when you’re in a tight spot and can only get 1/8 turn on the handle, those extra couple degrees you get from the fine tooth means you can spin that bolt out with 40 turns of the ratchet handle instead of 50 or 60 turns.
