KENOSHA, Wis. – May 29, 2009 – Low on clearance? Tight on time? With Snap-on’s new 10-piece 3/8-inch Drive Metric Low Profile Ratchet/Socket Set with Dual 80® Technology (210RAFM), you will have all the speed, power and durability to perform those challenging jobs in tight quarters quickly and efficiently.
“Our 3/8-inch Drive Metric Low Profile Ratchet/Socket Set works in the tight spots that our competitors’ ratchets can’t reach,” said Scott Amundson, product manager for Snap-on. “Because it is up to 33 percent shorter than the competition, the combination of the low profile ratchet and socket has more clearance in the tightest working areas. It also has the smallest ratcheting arc available for ultimate speed and a sealed ratchet head that ensures long-lasting durability. You will never compromise with this tool.”
The Snap-on 10-piece 3/8-inch Drive Metric Low Profile Ratchet/Socket Set with Dual 80® Technology (210RAFM) includes the 80-tooth low profile ratchet (RAF80) and nine 12 point low profile sockets (8mm to 18mm). The features and benefits of this system include:
• Low profile sockets combined with low profile ratchet gets the job done in the tightest work areas.
