Speed and power to combat difficult to access fasteners 25 April 2025

New from Laser Tools is its Go Thru Air Ratchet, Socket and Bit Set, a comprehensive kit that combines a unique Go Thru air ratchet with versatile socket and bit adaptors, allowing it to handle a wide range of tasks.

With reduced access height the air ratchet is perfect for use in confined spaces. Also, the air ratchet is smooth and powerful, with a free speed of 400 RPM, a working torque of 13Nm and a maximum torque of 54Nm.

When using the supplied Go Thru sockets, the design lets the socket and the air ratchet run down the length of the threaded bolt or screw to reach the fastener. A good example is adjusting handbrake mechanisms where access is needed to hold the threaded rod as the adjusting nut is tightened. 

Ten single hex Go Thru sockets are provided in sizes 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 18mm, 19mm and 21mm, but this versatile tool can also be used with all standard sockets as ¼ inch, 3/8 inch and ½ inch drive adaptors are included. Also in the set is a magnetic adaptor for the ten ¼ inch shank bits: PzDrive (Pz1, Pz2, Pz3), flat (4.5mm, 7mm), hex (4mm, 6mm) and Star (T25, T30, T40).

The Go Thru Air Ratchet Socket and Bit Set is a great solution for accessing hard-to-reach areas without compromising performance. Its compact design, adaptability and high torque capability makes it a valuable addition to any professional toolkit. This kit is supplied in a robust blow-moulded case for portability or users can remove the EVA foam tray which will fit neatly in roll cab drawers.
