Like i said earlier..

The Hazet will hold the socket on tight and only let it go when you push the button.

We can just keep going in circles if you want and quoting the posts we already made.
Just kidding. I've wasted enough time on this. Enjoy your ratchet that you clearly love. But that still won't convince other pros who prefer non-quick-release ratchets.
I'll keep using my mix of QR and non QR ratchets. In fact, I think I'll head to the garage right now with a beer. My mom is visiting and it sounds like a belt pulley on her Jeep is starting to fail.
To the OP-
Post some pics when they arrive.
