WHY IT WORKS
Why this product
Extra-Long Reach
The 18-inch handle reaches recessed hardware while keeping the operator's hands farther from the work.
Fine-Tooth Ratcheting
A 100-tooth mechanism reduces the swing needed between clicks in tight spaces.
Positive Socket Retention
The C-clip design retains compatible 3/8-drive Nano-style sockets with a 17 mm outside hex.
CHOOSE WITH CONFIDENCE
Confirm the socket system before ordering
- This tool is designed around Astro Nano-style stubby impact sockets; do not assume ordinary sockets will provide the stated 0.88-inch working height or retention.
- Astro identifies the 78319 no-skip 6–24 mm Nano socket set as the matching coverage set.
- The source describes pairing with the 78319 socket set; sockets are not listed as included with this ratchet.

- Use sockets and the ratchet within their applicable tool and fastener ratings.
QUICK ANSWERS
Common questions
Are sockets included?
No socket set is identified as included in the verified source record. Astro recommends pairing the ratchet with the 78319 6–24 mm Nano socket set.
Why is the working height important?
Astro specifies a combined working height of 0.88 inch with its Nano-style stubby socket, helping the tool reach confined fasteners.
What does the flex head do?
It lets the handle approach a fastener from different angles when straight-line access is limited.
How many teeth are in the mechanism?
The manufacturer specifies a 100-tooth ratcheting mechanism.
