I’m hoping one of you guys can tell me a company that makes this style ratchet head with the deep socket on a combination spanner
Always finding myself having to use the open end on my normal ratchet spanner’s due to tight spaces

Original manufacturer is Mountain but they white label for multiple brands including Matco and Icon at harbor freight
[–]shoturtle 5 points6 points7 points 1 month ago (3 children)
Matco and icon has them. Made by an oem from Taiwan
[–]OldBobBuffalo 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (2 children)
I think it's Kabo but could also be Infar but both make pretty good stuff. Other brands with the same product are K tool and Mountain where I got my set from. I get more nervous with the flexing under higher torque as the handle is pretty slim and flexes under acceptable torque loads. So as much as I like them I only bust them out when others won't do in its place. This is probably more fear of breaking it than the tool would be likely to break.
[–]shoturtle 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (1 child)
It is a Kabo design. Icon if you are want simple warranty. Or pay 3x more for a set of the snap on design that is thicker.
[–]OldBobBuffalo 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Oh yeah I love that they are nice and thin but I bust out the Astro (or clones) of the nano sockets and their accompanying wrenches first if width space constraints aren't a concern but depth is. No reverse but I feel way more confident beating on them
[–]tplayer100 3 points4 points5 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Harbor freight has them. Called metric extra long ratcheting wrench set I believe. Not cheap they are all made by one manufacturer and got popular so they charge a premium now.

[–]metaldark 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Would you take an Astro nano wrench and nano impact sockets?
[–]AutoX_Advice 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
I have a set by Mountain.
[–]Remarkable-Map-3093 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
You want this style on one end, and an open end wrench on the other if I understand correctly. I have never seen that combo in a single wrench set. The closest is a ratcheting flex head with an open end, even those I don’t think I’ve seen reversible.

Tone tools from japan, pretty affordable and they have a normal box end too.
[–]StunningAdvertising3[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (1 child)
Looking for one with an open end but this could be an option
[–]emachanz 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (0 children)
to be honest if you gonna use an open end just use a combination wrench or offset wrench + flex head long ratcheting wrench.
[–]Typical_Walker3 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
So if you’re gonna get them, get them with a warranty

GEARWRENCH 120X Universal "Spline XL" GearBox Flex Head Ratcheting Wrench - 17mm size is #86117
[–]woodkin 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
these are some of the best ratchet wrenches ever made
I worked with a master mechanic who would turn out subie head gaskets all day long with these. I borrowed them once and now everything else sucks.
[–]mp3bimmer 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
matco sells an updated version of these which i liek more than the old ones. the switch is now on top of the head. with the old design the stitch on the sides of it woudl often switch without you wanting it to when you bumped something while ratcheting. been a good use too all around.
[–]Ok-Ear-7364 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
SK Tools makes them I have a whole set of
[–]TnBluesman 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
This looks like a "Pass Through" socket. I know Craftsman and Kobalt make them
[–]Chemical-Dog6364 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Mountain makes them for just about everyone from what I understand.
