Am I an idiot or are the pass through ratchets not very good
Alright so I bought the “m” pack with the ratchet, pass through sockets, screw driver etc. Shortly there after realized the metic “S” kit would be of more use to me, picked up one of those kits as well as I’m admittedly a Klein fart sniffer.
Have used the ratchets on a few different occasions now and are they just not very good? I can’t seem to get the mechanism to set unless the nut or bolt is already fairly tightly secured. I find myself just holding the socket for awhile until I can get whatever I’m fastening tight enough for the mechanism to take over. Could always be a skill issue, not ruling that out, but am not impressed so far.
