Is this a quick release head or not?** A: no, it's a 1/4" hex bit with a 1/4" square drive with detent ball. the hex end passes through the wratch. in other words you can take the whole bit out the part that looks like a quick release button is actually the bit you push it out with your thumb. I know this sounds confusing but hope it helps **Q: Tool broke does it have a warranty?** A: If it's past the time that you can return to Amazon, please send picture of tool and the information to csrhardware@apextoolgroup.com **Q: Can i use a quarter inch hex shank 3/8 adapter with this? To use 3/8 sockets as well?** A: 81127 -1/4" Drive 1/4" F x 3/8" M Adapter | GEARWRENCH **Q: hex bit or socket end m. Does it stick out out say more than 3/16 of an inch? Is it secure or can it fall out easily?** A: The 1/4” square drive protrudes about 7/16” from the face of the ratchet. It is adequately held in place with a spring system. Easily removable and the ratchet head accepts any 1/4” hex head tip. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ original and very good quality *by S***D on 23 January 2026* all good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bien *by O***. on 3 July 2025* El producto es de excelente calidad!
