Why Choose This Product?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my ratchet?

Yes, it uses a standard 3/8" square drive, so it fits any 3/8" ratchet, extension or breaker bar.

Is it strong enough for tight bolts?

For hand tools, yes. Put it on a breaker bar and it will shift a tight fastener, but leave impact guns to a proper impact socket.
