You may lose the pass-through capability, buy you still have the swivelling head.īack to the swivelling head: We have a couple of swivel-head ratchets in our toolbox, but I’ve always been a little bit reluctant to use them. It also includes a 3/8″ square drive quick-release adapter, which means that you can use the XL Pass-Thru with any of your standard 3/8″ drive sockets should you end up needing one that’s not in the kit. The kit contains an extra-long 3/8″ drive XL Pass-Thru ratchet and two hollow extensions - a 3″ and a 6″ - as well as the following sockets: This is one set you’ll probably keep in the box it came in, rather than discarding it to let things roll free in the roll-away.
The case’s articulated hinges beat the standard “flimsy-thin-bit-of-plastic” ones hands down, and should last for some time.
We looked at the 23-piece 3/8″ drive set, which ships directly in a nice moulded plastic carry case. Before we jump into that, though, let’s open the box. At its core, it’s a ratchet/socket set that’s driver from around the ring instead of the center. The concept beind the XL Pass-Thru is pretty slick.

You can set the ratchet to either tighten or loosen, then keep the socket in place on the nut while you turn the handle. The sockets fit onto the ratchet by way of a square nub. Similarly, how does socket wrench work? A socket wrench is most commonly a handle with a 90 degree ratchet, along with a set of cylinder shaped “ sockets” of various sizes. The socket edges are driven from the outside, which allows a fixing to pass through the head and means that, unlike conventional sockets and ratchets, there is no depth restriction. Vortex-drive sockets have a revolutionary hollow design that makes them ideal for use with long fixings. The hollow sockets and ratchet heads enable threaded rod and bolts to pass completely through the tool for unbeatable access, virtually eliminating the need for deep sockets. Drive Pass- Through Socket Wrench Set allows this set to tackle jobs that standard socket sets can't.
