Gear Ratchet 46 Pc. 1/4" & 3/8" Drive 6 Pt. Pass-Thru™ Mechanics Tool Set, SAE/Metric - 8946

Um jogo de soquetes passantes espetacular, ótima qualidade e bem completo, difícil achar um semelhante, lembro que são sextavados, existem outros por aí que são diferentes.

Excellent piece of equipment

For 99.9% of the time you don’t need a passthrough wrench system, but for the 0.01% of the time you do, it pays for itself in saved time and lack of spanner rash. The set appears to be well engineered, but only time will tell if it’s as robust as it appears.

This is an awesome drive system BUT... Gearwrench should engineer a quick release for the wrench itself (like a separate button or slide lock) to allow for the sockets to be removed easily. The flaw I'm about to discuss is inherent in the design of the wrench and not limited to gearwrench. Currently the sockets need some effort to insert or remove from the wrench. This tells me that with frequent use, there will be wear such that the socket will insert and remove more easily but the sockets will likely fall out of the wrench due to looseness. This is very bad in limited space where there is a high probability of losing the sockets. With a locking or unlocking mechanism engineered into the wrench, the socket will not wear down the mechanism for securing the socket inside the drive insert of the wrench, AND at the same time, also allowing for quick change of the sockets. I hope that Gearwrench will consider this for the next gen wrenches. Even so, this is an awesome wrench. I just question how long I can go without losing sockets to limited access areas.

This socket set is great! I've had 1/4 and 3/8" Gearwrench sets for several years and been waiting to purchase the 1/2" set for a while. I'm glad I've finally pulled the trigger. Handle for the ratchet is nicely finished, long, and smooth to operate. Sockets are well made. I wish the 6" extension included, would also include a 3". This set replaces my faithful 1/2" 12 point set from Craftsman with relatively short ratchet handle. I've rounded off enough bolts with the 12 point set and should not have that problem with this 6 point set.
