Review on Enhanced FCS Ratchet Tool by Brian Wolf

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Two year use: surfing

Good for shortboard fins and some longboard center fins. The short stem length can make it difficult to use longboards where the bolt is tightened from the back of the base versus the front. The board's long ribs where the stud is located on the back of the base can make it difficult to use. Due to the small length and grip of the tool. The bit is set at an angle with a tool. Otherwise it works fine. I can't remember if it will work well on future fins or not. According to my experience. FCS fin keys are not well suited for future fin locks. It appears to be a fraction of the size of the FCS. Effi sucks! I suggest if you buy this put some marine grease on the inside of the bit adapter. I use this for surfing and rust that formed in the tool tip when attaching it made removing the tip painful and I had to use pliers to remove it. Since ship lubricant was placed inside, removing the drill has become easier than before.

Pros
  • sport
Cons
  • unreliable
