Product Features

• 
  • Retaining rings are used to help secure sockets onto drive tools
  • They are not intended to bear any load
  • The rotational forces are between the drive tool and the socket
  • Designed with a resin crush gauge to help identify when to replace worn sockets
  • The resin crush gauge on the pin helps indicate when a socket is excessively worn and should be replaced
  • Drive tool and socket should line up when in use and should not pinch the crush gauge
  • Cracked sockets and or worn drive tools cause each other to turn excessively in relation to each other
  • This action pinches the small fin or the crush gauge on these retaining rings
  • If the crush gauge is pinched, it is an indication that the socket and or the drive tool need to be replaced
  • 1-piece construction, no loose parts
  • Pin is made of resin which allows the material to compress without breaking
  • 2 in groove
