So it looks like the wrench is not available, right now. 1-23-24. Too bad. I liked that it has the little retaining ring in it, to hold the nano sockets. So I came up with a solution to Astro not making the wrench anymore.

Cool. I have the 6-24mm 19 piece 3/8 drive nano set. I just picked up the long handle 17mm flex head box wrench with the retention clip. Also, you can use a low profile 1/4 to 3/8 adapter to retain sockets on any wrench with a 17mm box end.

You can use the short adapters. I have a video coming out in few weeks showing just that. Cost me all of $5, to use one of my other ratchet wrenches. Just make sure you don't buy the magnetic ones. They don't work.

3:15.. they're laser printed/etched..but, they are also roll stamped on the other side...So, if the laser etched side does wear off you'll still have the ability to quickly identify your sockets...✔️

Thanks for the heads up. Yea, out of stock everywhere I checked. So I wrote them an email about it. Maybe a little writing campaign would help. I put it in the notes above.

The long one for the 17mm nano sockets is available now.

@@MarzNet256 I know. Just bothers me to buy a ratchet that will only work with the Nano Sockets. They are supposed to have the short one available soon.

@hemi08911 rip the tip of a nitrile or latex glove, put it in any 17mm ratchet wrench and then put the nano socket. It’ll hold

For longevity , you may want to break it loose with a breaker bar or 6 point wrench to save the ratchet .

I agree, but sometimes you don't have the room for a breaker bar or a Hazet ratchet.

Having dark colored gloves while displaying impact (dark colored) sockets in not visually good. Toss the gloves, sockets and ratchet are clean/new.

You may be right. Unfortunately, age has caught up with me. Years in construction, years of wrenching and arthritis has made my fingers less than optimum. The grip from these particular gloves help me with this. That is why I use them. I have a video on these gloves, not the best video, but you will understand why I wear them most of the time. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esCfmsuV2ZORcok.html
