Milwaukee Friction Ring Vs Pin Detent

The purpose of the detent pin is to make sure the socket stays on.

Milwaukee friction ring vs pin detent.

As an aside does anyone have the milwaukee dab radio. Easier to remove the socket. Pin detent or friction ring. The work of the hog ring is to hold the adapter or the socket onto the driver.

The final big question remains. Any general recommendations other than milwaukee. I end up tapping them on with a hammer. A pin detent wrench provides maximum socket retention that is secure.

Is there a reason i wouldn t want a detent pin model. 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. However this does make for slightly slower and perhaps cumbersome work as it can be difficult to release especially if working with new sockets.

A hog ring is designed to work like a snap ring fitted around the square socket drive groove. Rubber ring keeps the socket on the square. The clarke uses a friction ring to hold the socket on. Locking pin or ball holds the socket in place.
