Milwaukee friction ring vs pin detent.

A pin detent wrench provides maximum socket retention that is secure. A hog ring is designed to work like a snap ring fitted around the square socket drive groove. I find this a pain to get the socket on to i don t know if there is a knack. Easier to remove the socket.

If you line it up with the indent in the socket it will lock on so it s safe for overhead use on linework commercial and industrial sites etc especially when the socket size isn t changing all day. The final big question remains. Mostly for using with the same socket all the time as it sits really tight. Any general recommendations other than milwaukee.

However this does make for slightly slower and perhaps cumbersome work as it can be difficult to release especially if working with new sockets. Hence it s used for most purposes where more than one socket is needed. Pin detent or friction ring. Locking pin or ball holds the socket in place.

Rubber ring keeps the socket on the square. Is there a reason i wouldn t want a detent pin model. I end up tapping them on with a hammer. The detent pin features a spring loaded ball bearing in the square groove to hold the socket onto the driver.
