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

Product Information

Micro Ratchet Bit Driver - 1/4" Hex Drive - 72-Tooth Ratchet - Additional DriveOverview: Manufactured from high quality stainless steel with a fully polished satin finish. 72-Tooth, ultra-smooth ratchet with slide reverse. Additional drive at the base of handle. Ideal for limited as applications.Features: 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.

Compared to the original Neotec, the updated version is sleeker, with fewer lines and edges to disrupt them. Notably, the “forehead” partition is gone, and the upper vent is more distinct – looking a bit like a hood scoop – while the rest of the helmet is smoothly contoured and finished. Pleasantly, air from the chin vent does not land directly on the eyes and avoids eye irritation- something I’ve experienced with other helmets. Micro-Ratchet Strap The visor provides ample sun protection, with 90% of the visible area shaded. Only about a fifth of my vision – the bottom left/right periphery – is unshielded. In-Helmet Audio & Communication Via the SENA SRL The only splash of color on this colorway is the orangey-red chinbar release lever. Otherwise, it’s monochrome all around.

Overall, SENA’s SRL is the obvious companion to the Neotec II. It’s easy to install and asks for no aesthetic tradeoff. It sounds good and enhances the ride. In Conclusion, the Neotec II is a Comfortable & Feature Rich Flip-Up Helmet

The Neotec II is new for this year, and while it’s easy to assume that it’s an evolution of the aging Neotec, most of the helmet has been rethought or upgraded. According to Shoei, the Neotec II is quieter, more comfortable, and features improved aerodynamics. You can (and should) reference our original Neotec review for comparison purposes as I don’t have an original Neotec handy for proper side by side.The left-side mounted buttons are easy to operate, though the process is somewhat clunky with gloves. SENA has various voice commands built-in; you simple say “hello, SENA” to get the AI-party started. 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. Kudos to webbike world for publishing the pros and the cons on all m/c products. Here is my Canadian peso’s worth. 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. SENA has a handy installation video that makes the installation process a snap. I recommend following it vs. floundering about yourself.

The chinbar vent is dual purpose: it brings airflow into the helmet to keep you cool, and it also keeps the visor free of fog. I haven’t had the ability to ride the Neotec II in wet weather (yet, Calgary is living in a drought at the moment), so I’m unsure of how changes in humidity would impact the system’s effectiveness. I will update the review when I have an opportunity. The micrometric (or micro ratchet, or plain ratchet) fastener is a relative newcomer to motorcycle crash helmets. It might be new, but it’s a real goodie.

Sound quality of both streaming audio/navigation and phone calls is pretty good. Calls are mostly clear at city speeds, and the person on the other end will hear you. Most people I talked to were genuinely surprised when I told them I was doing 30 – 50 mph on my motorcycle. The Neotec gave riders exactly what they would have expected from a premium modular produced by a top-class brand like Shoei: exceptional build, great ventilation, an internal sun visor, and good ergonomics. I’ve had the Neotec 2 for about 500 miles now. I’ve only worn Shoei because they just kinda always fit my head and I became somewhat of a helmet snob. I figured the minor things that bothered me in the store would sort themselves out once the helmet broke in. Couple things:

Soooo tiny, they look like they were made for ants. I expected them to be small but they look like toys. I’m glad I drive a diesel 250 or id have to worry about the size of my ratchets.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. The guide calls for you to hold the center button for 12 seconds. After about 10 seconds, the intercom will announce pairing mode . 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. Matte finishes are notorious for being more fragile than their clear-coated compatriots, so it’s hard to be more than a touch frustrated over the appearance of the white mark on the chinbar. Considering the light use the helmet had received up until that point – with barely 150km of seat time in it – I’m concerned that longevity of this colorway may be an issue.
