Astro Tools 78318 Long Flex Head Nano Socket Ratchet Wrench, Extra Large, Grey

This plus a set of Astro nano impact sockets...so good. The nano sockets snap firmly into this tool. The flexible head lets you get leverage in challenging positions. It feels great in the hand and the ratcheting mechanism feels tight, solid and like it has a good amount of arc in tight spaces.I have this, the nano sockets and Astro's "3/8 drive in a 1/4" body" wrench and so far they're all killer.I'm moving into a phase of my life where I'm trying to do more "buy it for life". I've bonded with all 3 of the Astro tools I've bought so far and I look forward to using them.

I bought the low profile 3/8 sockets last year to use in my box end flex ratchets but i really wish I would’ve found out about this tool last year. Perfect companion for low profile sockets like Astro’s and will be investing in more of their ratchets. Extra long handle and very effective. On the first day I got it, I used it for a drive belt tensioner and oil change. Excellent leverage and worked great. This tool is a decent substitute for the Icon Extra Long double box end flex wrenches that have the raised socket walls on one side. This handle is actually longer so you have more leverage. Highly recommended.

Bought this to use with my low profile passthrough sockets. The handle is very well built with no noticeable slop in the head. The sockets are very securely retained but not hard to remove. The length width of the unit are well designed and this feels like a well designed tool. The ratcheting mechanism is smooth and does not have excessive backdrag.

Nice tool, solid and strong

Great low profile design for getting into tight areas. Paired with 3/8 duratech shallow sockets and works perfectly fine. Teeth design feels tight, doesn’t feel like a cheap tool. Lots of available leverage if needed.

Great tool to use with AP nano low profile sockets - provides low clearance for reaching fasteners in tight spots where an impact can’t reach. Long handle provides good leverage. Quality is not bad, chrome finish is average.

Super slim, heavy duty

Astro is a tried and true brand, and this is nothing short of a home run from Astro!! Astro makes great middle of the road tools for both diy'ers and pros. This is long overdue from astro and finally we get a long, nano socket compatible, flex head ratchet, with a super thin profile. I am extremely satisfied with this item and like most of astro's product line, it is very well priced, and affordable. This thing is beyond awesome!! I have quite a few astro tools in my lineup and I have never been disappointed, and this tool is no different. I can't say enough good things about this tool and I'm excited to get to wrenchin' with it!! If your on the fence about this tool, dont be, its worth every penny, and then some!! I seriously hope they come out with a version for their 1/2" nano set, or maybe even a 9" or 10" version, so you can get in closer quarters with the same low profile advantages. Astro is dropping some super fire new tools this year!! You should check out the astro 78354 10-Piece torque saver set. It's a 10mm-19mm no skip set and it is the EXACT SAME set that matco sells in 2 separate sets for over $600!! I don't mean it's like the matco set, I mean it's the EXACT SAME set that matco sells. Check it out!!****UPDATE****During November's 2023 SEMA show, Astro Pneumatic had on display some new and upcoming versions of this nano socket compatible flex head ratchet. They had several different sizes in the prototype stage that included a version that was medium length, and another version that was a short length version of this tool as well. Astro's booth had some absolutely killer new products this year that are in the production and protype stages scheduled for production in the near future. Astro is seriously killing it this year, and is thinking outside the box. They are coming out with some phenomenal new products. I'm excited for the release of the other versions that they had on display. These things are extremely popular, selling out twice since July of 2023. I grabbed 2 in case I break my other one because you can't warranty a tool you don't have in stock lol.
