Low-profile socket/ratchet sets

Low-profile socket/ratchet sets from Snap-on Industrial, a leader in tooling solutions for mechanical, hydraulic and industrial applications, answer the need for sockets and ratchets that fit cramped quarters. Sizes include 1/4-inch drive metric and fractional and 3/8-inch drive metric and fractional. The 1/4-inch drive metric set features a low-profile ratchet and ten 6-point, low-profile sockets. A mini-ratchet with a 72-tooth gear means maximum torque with minimal movement in tight spaces. A thin handle design and easy-action reverse lever allows greater access in small areas. Socket sizes range from 5 mm to 13 mm. Also, a 10-piece, 12-point low-profile socket/ratchet set is available in fractional sizes ranging from 3/16 to 9/16 inch. This set is applicable in a variety of markets, particularly aerospace. The 3/8-inch drive sets feature an 80-tooth, low-profile ratchet and either nine 6-point or nine 12-point low-profile sockets; metric socket sizes range from 8 mm to 18 mm, with fractional sizes ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 inch. The 3/8-inch square drive also works with standard sockets. Thanks to Dual 80 technology and a tighter torque ratio, the 3/8-inch ratchets require only a 4 ½-degree arc to engage the next gear tooth. The dual pawl ratchet mechanism engages seven teeth to provide strength and durability. For more information call (877) 740-1900 or visit www.snapon.com/industrrial.
