Review on πŸ”§ 10 Sets - 3/8 inch Impact Wrench Socket Retainer Retaining Ring with O-Ring Mac IR - includes Anvil Retaining Ring Install Tool by German Diaz

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The o-rings that come with this kit are thinner than other kits I've bought which is a good thing. Other kits have a very thick o-ring.

I have several 3/8" cordless and pneumatic percussion tools (IR, Milwaukee, Makita, and Latch). I've been looking for a source for locking rings that actually work on ANY of them, and the search continues. The most of my percussion instruments are 3-4 years old and used in a professional environment so they do have some wear and tear.The o-rings that come with this kit are thinner than other kits I've bought which is ok. Other kits have a very thick o-ring that prevents the locking ring from seating in the groove at all, but the rings even in this kit are too big to fit the ring grooves on one of my percussion instruments (too big in height ).With some grinding of the tool's groove, the ring will actually fit into the groove, but the tension from the o-ring is not enough to hold the socket to the instrument.With a drawer full of o-rings and snap rings at this point I can use the snap rings in that kit (with significant tooling grind) and some cker o-rings from another kit to keep my sockets on the tools.

Pros
  • This kit fits most major brands of 3/8" square drive air wrenches.
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price
