Milwaukee Friction Ring Vs Pin Detent

However this does make for slightly slower and perhaps cumbersome work as it can be difficult to release especially if working with new sockets.

Milwaukee friction ring vs pin detent.

The purpose of the detent pin is to make sure the socket stays on. The clarke uses a friction ring to hold the socket on. A pin detent wrench provides maximum socket retention that is secure. As an aside does anyone have the milwaukee dab radio.

Rubber ring keeps the socket on the square. Easier to remove the socket. Locking pin or ball holds the socket in place. I find this a pain to get the socket on to i don t know if there is a knack.

Pin detent or friction ring. A hog ring is designed to work like a snap ring fitted around the square socket drive groove. Hence it s used for most purposes where more than one socket is needed. Mostly for using with the same socket all the time as it sits really tight.

The detent pin features a spring loaded ball bearing in the square groove to hold the socket onto the driver. 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 work of the hog ring is to hold the adapter or the socket onto the driver. Any general recommendations other than milwaukee.
