Hazet 4-piece Adaptor Set: Turn wrenches into socket drivers. Plus spinners and a great bit holder!

amzn.to/3M0Kuk8 The Hazet 4-piece Adaptor Set turns wrenches into socket drivers. It's a great upgrade to existing tools pushing them even further in new directions. Plus them as spinners alone are worth the price of admission. There is also a great bit holder that turns your 10mm wrench into a solid screwdriver. What's not to like about this? Well, maybe the O-rings that wear easily and hold the adapter in place snuggly. But hardly a deal breaker.

You'd love the little VIM DD2 & DD3 ratchets... and or the Koken 3753SM. All can be _very_ advantageous in tight quarter situations. Snap-On (and I 'think') Nepros offer (or offered) similar ratchets. Far as tight quarters go, don't even get me started on the Snap-On 1/4" drive TZ1, and/or 3/8" drive FZ1.

[@lastbesttool]

I’ve got both the DD2 and DD3 but haven’t found enough of a use to make a video. But your suggestions have made the difference. Stay tuned….

[@csimet]

Agreed. Love mine. Those adapters are great too... the socket helps keeps them locked in place.

[@spevakdesigns]

Gearwrench makes some nice ones too. The compact 3/8" 90tooth and 1/4" 120xp I have are the smallest headed ratchets I have in those sizes. The koken it's probably even tinier, haven't looked at those VIM ones before.

[@rwbishop]

@Saul Verdugo Yes! Those are also popular with the aerospace crowd!

[@Order4627]

Never seen anything like it till today. ? Great channel.

[@mattbrush2970]

Gearwrench has 3 piece set without the bit driver 9230D I use them alot. Makes low profile rachet from a ratcheting wrench. I also combine with torque adapters (snap on FRDHM13) and a wrench for hard to reach areas.

[@smartliketruck]

Thanks for adding this, Amzn currently sold out of the Hazets

[@knowntalker135]

These look very nice

[@semitrailertechnician4926]

Gear wrench had these for years but without the button or round part making them greater then these ones for tight spots

[@enice617]

That’s freaking cool dude lol I need these

[@Handyman247llc]

Nifty old tool reborn, I have my Craftsman 1/4" an 3/8 drive from 20+yrs ago.

[@KillSwitchNY]

This works in a similar fashion to my Gearwrench Passthru XL kits and it's the most annoying socket adapter based on the fact it pushes through the back. That way any time you put any forward pressure onto the fastener, the assembly pops out the back.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

"Of course I've got my wrench when I need it, and I've got my box-end." Um... that didn't really make sense; it's like you were saying that a box-end tool "isn't a wrench" itself.

[@NoNo-uy2bq]

Nice idea, not sure what I’d use them for though.

[@MrPINKFL0YD]

Great idea

[@HiveMind2024]

AWESOME thank you

[@gplusgplus2286]

Further to my previous comment, two more things: one, if you put the adapter on a switching ratcheting wrench from the bottom, you now have a "negative inclined" slimhead ratchet that may allow you access to a difficult spot, and two, the value of this set is as part of an emergency or road kit (car or bike), with only the 3/8 adaptor, an extension, a 13mm ratcheting wrench and 3/8 sockets you can do a lot of stuff needing lot more tools... Thanks again for the video.

[@charlesenfield2192]

I've had a Pittsburgh square drive socket cap set for 5 or 6 years. I rarely use them, but they've gotten me out of a jamb a few times. The Pittsburgh is nowhere near as nice as these, but they're dirt cheap, so I highly recommend them just to have around. If you think you'll use them frequently, the extra features on these are probably worth the extra money.

[@whatfreedom7]

I have gearwrench and it’s the same thing I barely used them.

[@bobmcl2406]

I also got the HF socket cap set. Rarely used, but when I need them.....

[@MadTrapper1]

I bought a Hazet 1/4" drive set in Germany. 30 year old and still best one I have. Hazet make good tools.

[@Callelle6251]

I don't get the point. They're damn near the size of a normal ratchet anyway, especially a thin head one like a Pitsburg, Gearwrench, or Matco.

[@zokimata4364]

Yes, You gat the point that’s the tool just to have it🍋

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

Awesome! Better than the ones i have. Love the big spinner feature.🤘

[@a2mann2]

Check out the small Titan gearless ratchets. They are tiny and very well made

[@44hawk28]

Soak those O-rings in 303 penetrant. And they will last a lot longer. You can soak serpentine belts and any other rubber product on your vehicle you can even spray the tires on your car and the tread will last three times longer or more can take that. With a three to four applications a year on your tires

[@patrickbodine1300]

Sure would have been a great thing back when I was a VW tech.

[@andrewcain7432]

Be handy for me in a offset wrench I will have to check into them

[@aussiehardwood6196]

Or you can go with the Astro Pnuematic style Nano sockets that fit in their ratcheting 11mm/17mm wrenches that have a retaining ball inside.

[@adamcurtin3410]

So if you need a deeper socket, use these

[@Jordan__Sloan]

Oooooh just bought some nanos for 40$ on Amazon, my wife is not happy about my new found love for mechanics tools.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

That kind of wrench was already a ratchet before you did anything to it! It has the ratcheting mechanism built in. It just wasn't a _socket_ driver before.

[@jeffstanley4593]

I am not a mechanic but had the same thoughts. What is the big deal? Like you said it was already a ratchet and narrower too!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

@@jeffstanley4593: This just converts it to a socket or a bit driver. But now I wonder what advantage sockets would have over a set of these, except that maybe an average set of those is cheaper than an average set of these, and those can be connected to bigger drivers. About the only advantage I can see with this set-up is if you only bought the few of these ratcheting box wrenches to fit those socket adapters and it was still supposed to be thinner and cheaper than just buying a whole set of these box ratchets by themselves. But I haven't done the math on that. And I'm not a mechanic either, but of course we don't really need to be mechanics to have uses for tools like these or those and see pros and cons between them.

[@JG-qg1zu]

I'm building my motorcycle tool kit and being able to eliminate a rachet could save space and weight.

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

@@JG-qg1zu: This doesn't eliminate a ratchet, as it just transfers the ratcheting to the box wrenches from a standard driver, but I can see how it would make the kit a teensy bit lighter if you only employ one. However, since you have to use more than one box ratchet in order to use all these adapters. then didn't the weight just basically cancel out? So you're either using a standard ratchet driver and sockets, or you're using box ratchets without sockets, or you're combining a few box ratchets with these adaptors and then still the sockets. How is this so "advantageous" then?

[@jbstepchild]

what the actual well anyways great video but uou gotta ask yourself why do I need these if I have a ratcheting wrench an a socket wrench wjy do I need this

[@rudydaberry122]

I need something like this for the Astro pneumatic 78318 17mm

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

I bet they're held in place that way even if we don't look.

[@justinjones3499]

Klutch at northern tool has these as a 4 pc set on sell for $7 when normally 25

[@lawrencelewis1036]

One could make a nice ratcheting Chainsaw scrench from one of those.

[@HiveMind2024]

Please do a comparison to those mentioned in comments?

[@aussiehardwood6196]

I wonder if these are the same as the Koken ones.

[@drewrinker2071]

Cool idea, but do I really need one for $40 since I got a ratchet that does the same thing? It seems kind of pointless to me, but very cool

[@VastCNC]

I think the primary purpose would be for minimizing a travel kit/edc. Shedding weight and size by having your wrenches do double duty

[@user-white007]

Was gonna buy to hand spinners for 30ish bucks rather have these cause they sell more use

[@jesusmoysen4759]

Most ratcheting ratcheting wrenches are thinner than the corresponding drive ratchets. Coupled with this adapter it is significantly thinner than a 3/8 ratchet plus socket.

[@blacksquirrel4008]

I have need for a only a couple of 1/4” sockets in my motorcycle’s tool kit so this would keep me from having a separate ratchet. But, other than that, you’re right.

[@drewrinker2071]

@@jesusmoysen4759 If I need to get in tight space why wouldn't I just use the wrench itself? Only useful thing I can see using this for is as CRS1 said for a travel kit for a small tool kit for a motorcycle or something coupled with some 3/8 sockets but for my main garage tools it just has no practicality to me

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello again Doc Thank you for another Great Video 👍 I don't for certain But when Gearwrench first came out with their Ratchet Wrenches in 1997-98 time frame. I believe they were the only ones offering the Ratchet Wrenches and the four adapters came with the set. Since then I don't use them everyday, but they do win the day when needed. Although I do have to perform corrosion control to keep them ready. The ones you showed today wouldn't have that problem. Again thank you 😊

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

What's the supposed "advantage" of attaching sockets to these adapters and then to the ratcheting box wrenches when you could just use the ratcheting box wrenches as sockets already?

[@drewpknutz1410]

Recessed spark plugs would be an example, if you are carrying a small tool kit and space/weight is an issue and you cant justify just bringing an extra ratchet?

Haha I got this set a week ago for 25eur. Together with the needed 10 13 19 ratcheting spanners, which I got from Facom (another 50eur which was a good price) the total came to 75eur. For 85eur there is a Carolus / Gedore red set of very good quality ratcheting spanners (8 10 12 13 15 17 18 19) that includes these adaptors in the kit. Thanks for the video. EDIT: In my case, I didn't have ANY ratcheting wrenches with the switch style which is preferred. If you do have them, of course this set is a must.

[@boosted2.4_sky]

I like it... you can get a thousand O-rings for 50 cents.... throw a little oil on there it'll probably help them last a little longer..... just a tiny drop for lubrication.... that's why they're getting chewed up.....

[@evenflo75]

had they had some sort of detent pin instead of a o ring would be so much better

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

A metal spring-wire circlip would be way better than an O-ring.

How useless does it become once that o ring gets destroyed.. within a few uses..

[@RobX86]

Not at all. The O-ring doesn't serve any purpose other than keeping the adapter from falling out when, say, switching sockets. Once you got the socket on, the adapter is held in place by it.

[@AverageReviewsYT]

@@RobX86 I didn’t know if there would be excessive slop if that extra width went away or not

[@cjr1881]

O-ring is worthless and just causes friction when putting wrench on.

[@steveoo410]

I don't really understand the point of them.

[@kiyosenl.3889]

I feel that for a lot of stuff he reviews, its neat but not much of a point, i mean it does make a super low profile ratchet i suppose, but the main reason you would want one of those is a serpentine belt and there are tools for that that are about the same price and would do a better job in every way and they come with extensions so they can be longer, maybe if you wanted a low profile 3/8 or 1/2 i suppose, but you could shave off the same thickness by buying low profile sockets, and if thats not enough you could buy a low profile ratchet or a dedicated pass through ratchet, the only situation i can think of for these is if you were making a super compact tool bag for your vehicle i guess, otherwise its either not the best option even for the price, or its a not worth it at all

[@TehBIGrat]

O'Ring thing is a non issue. Once the sockets on there it's not falling out.

I honestly love your channel but I have to admit that you are destroying the good tools affordability because a lot of times when you mention a tool I already purchased or at least have it on my cart and just hours after your video the price skyrocket 200% to 300%. Like I said I love your videos but tell me if I'm wrong...

[@lastbesttool]

No, you are correct. However, there are algorithms on Amazon that pick up on interest so the more clicks, the more interest, the more the price could go up. But mostly, there are many resellers on Amazon that have limited or even only one of something. Their offering pops up when the usual sellers are sold out. And sensing the shortage, the price goes up sometimes to astronomical levels. In fact, if you do a product search for something and then sort the results priced high to low, you can find mundane items with a literal million dollar price tag. That said, usually the price settles a week or two later, and sometimes drops even below where it was prior to my video. Again, the algorithm picking up on a drop in demand.
