SabreCut 1 x MRSC01 Mini Micro Ratchet 1/4" Hex Stainless Steel Professional 72 Tooth Gear Hand Ratchet Wrench

Product Information

At first the slop on them both going lefty Lucy was about 3 to 4 degrees which is ok. But righty tighty was horrible. 7 degrees of deflection before it engaged the 3/8 drive. Yes I measured it. Only because it felt sloppy. Then for ghits and siggles, I measured the 1/4, it was way worse. 10 degrees of deflection. Personally, I think the Neotec II looks significantly better than the Neotec (which itself wasn’t a bad looking helmet). Colorways

The only splash of color on this colorway is the orangey-red chinbar release lever. Otherwise, it’s monochrome all around. Even-tough we wish we had the money or the time for better tools, you can’t have cavier tools on a smelt egg budget. The SRL has a lot of functionality and shortcuts to learn- I’ll go into more depth in its dedicated review. Here, I’ll touch on how it works with the Neotec II. Installation Tips From an aesthetic perspective, the matte finish on the tester I have here looks great. As you would expect from Shoei, the finish is top-notch. You won’t find any eggshelling , wraps at the seams, or variations in the color. The finish is even and uniform on every surface of the helmet.The Neotec II will get plenty of use this summer, so I’ll post an update at the end of September and see how the finish has held up. Fit & Comfort I managed to scuff the paint doing I’m not sure what , as I haven’t dropped the helmet or hit anything that I’m aware of. A layer of clear coat may have prevented the scuff in question, but I suppose I’ll never know what caused it in the first place. Bummer. The 1/4" hex' hole in the end of the handle is great for spinning freely turning screws, nuts, etc. (obviously with a driver/adaptor if appropriate) like a screwdriver handle. I confess I did once use it (with a longer than standard bit - about 60mm) to successfully gain extra leverage for the ratchet action, in a very awkward situation, where I couldn't apply much force at full stretch of my finger tips! (I wasn't able to use my 'normal' 1/4" square drive ratchet with adaptors.) Clearly, that's not how it should be used & would undoubtedly negate warranty if damaged by doing so. Continue holding the center button for another 2 seconds , at which point the intercom will announce configuration menu .

The viewport on the Neotec II is functionally identical to the original; the Neotec II is perfectly fine with respect to visibility, granting its wearer an expansive field of view. I do not feel my visibility while wearing it is at all restricted, and that extends well into my peripheral vision as well. Face Shield Shoei’s original GT Air was their first premium helmet not aimed at sports riders. A drop down sun visor brought convenience and judging by the number of them I see sitting on tables at bike meets, the UK riding public liked what they saw. But it does have a weakness. And that’s in the fact that you only have an inch or so adjustment – the length of the ratchet strip in fact. That’s fine when the strap’s adjusted correctly, but when the strap stretches over time (which it probably will) it’s all too easy to have a micrometric fastener that’s not quite tightened enough. There were a few instances where my phone lost connection with the helmet, once requiring me to pull over and re-pair the SRL to my Galaxy S8. The re-pairing situation only happaned once in the two-dozen drips or so I used it on.The amount of force required to extract the bit is bound to vary dependant upon the cleanliness of the tool & bit, i.e. I'd expect the bits to barely hold if covered in clean lubricating oil.

My only con is that all m/c helmets have a life span regulated and mandated by different gov’t sanctioned The chin strap clasp for me is not an issue as a snug hold beats a rattling around skid lid on the ground which may twist your head off if not secured snuggly.Yes,it took awhile to find the happy clasp zone; using your fingers in Close helmet vents during cold weather my noggin is warm: hot weather, open vents with the modular flipped up, so cool;yes the dark sliding face screen is great in sunny times when dusk starts then dark screen is slide into helmet storage space & modular helmet clear screen is employed.Long-term durability of the finish may not be the best, but that’s also somewhat expected from a matte colorway. I’ll post an update at the end of the season to see how the finish has weathered. With the SRL integrated, the Neotec II weighs 4.2lbs, which is near the bottom of our 272 helmet comparison… and nearly right on top of the original Neotec. Airflow & Venting The SRL mouthpiece is always in place and sometimes it gets in the way. The chin protector often hits the microphone while being raised and lowered. Overall, this ratchet is a tad weighty for it's size, but then it is a one piece body with the expected ratchet plus a very useful (non-ratchet) 1/4" hex' drive in the other end!
