However, that limits you to sockets up to about 13mm due to the maximum torque you can apply to 1\/4-inch ratchets. However, if you want to carry a few larger sockets, such as 17mm or 19 mm, you need 3\/8\" drive tools such as this Asahi LIGHTOOL ratchet. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is not that much heavier than, for example, a Wera Zyklops 1\/4\" drive, which weighs 107 grams (3.8 oz).
