Astro Tool 78318 Extra-Long Flex Head Nano Socket Ratchet Wrench

Very nice ratchet. Size is good, provides a lot of leverage. The design is nice with no locking head, better imho vs locking heads. Great value for the money and comes in handy with the nano sockets paired with it.

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.

This paired with the Astro tools slim profile nano sockets has quickly become one of my most used tools. They are perfect for all the no room to get to nuts and bolts in today’s vehicles! The are excellent quality and very reasonably priced tools. I like them so much I bought another set as a gift to a mechanic friend of mine.

The extended length is perfect for reaching those awkward, hard-to-access spots, and the flex head offers just the right amount of movement without feeling loose or unstable. It's clear a lot of thought went into the design, and it shows in how well it performs. Honestly, it’s rare to buy something that actually matches the description and delivers on its promises, but this does that and more.

Best tool out there if you buy adapters it can also be a wrench or ratchet long size so you get that torque nice flex head not sloppy

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.

I bought this to go along with my Astro nano sockets. Feels durable and the flexible hinge keeps head design is awesome. Paired with the nano sockets, the access you have in low clearance locations is second to none one. The long handle gives you plenty of torque to break fasteners free. My one complaint that kept me give this 5 stars is I wish the handle was slightly shorter

This worked great with a set of low profile impact sockets. I used this to remove some pulleys on a Nissan Altima V6 where I had zero room for a regular socket set and regular wrench I couldn't get enough torque on it. I also used when changing out the power window regulators on an older Chevy Silverado. A great tool. I wish I had found this earlier.
