Pete's original design has sold over 150M units worldwide.
According to Roberts, "My friends wanted a total locking system that would not break connections or drop sockets".
"My new locking action features a case- hardened steel pin that is actuated by a spring-loaded collar".
"The more torque you put on it, the tighter it grips".
"There is no more lost time looking for dropped parts or sockets".
"No more fishing parts out of machines, airplanes or motorcycles".
The LINK Tool System features 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and 3/4" drive tools which work with all quality detent sockets.
The LINK System provides several unique benefits:.
