Sorry to keep talking about tools.

You can really pull with this thing\u2014I find myself thinking about it fondly (*\u00b4\u8278`)

Limited to M6 and smaller, but when you want to remove just the exterior or small parts\u2014say, just the meter assembly from the frame\u2014it’s absolutely perfect.
When you’re dealing with left and right cowl removal or when the fairing is skeletal, you’re looking at M6 and smaller bolts everywhere.

When the area around the bolt you want to remove is tight and the bolt diameter is small, a 3\/8 drive is really difficult both angle-wise and space-wise. That’s when the 1\/4 size becomes\u2014well, super convenient.

With this 1\/4 drive, the extension, ratchet, and handle from Snap-on are exceptional. I bought mine over twenty years ago, and I still haven’t found anything that beats it.

I’ve introduced a similar Japanese-made lineup before, so check that out too! <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me show you that Snap-on 1\/4 kit assembled and ready to go.
Short and sweet, but that’s the vibe today (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce
