Pete is the inventor of both the Sears quick release ratchet and the LINK LOCK SOLID™ technology that locks all components from the users-hand to the work. Pete designed the Link tool line to solve problems users have with accidental disconnects and dropped sockets. In many applications retrieving dropped components can take several hours.

When asked to comment on his impressive drive system, he was quoted, “It is surprising the amount of time you save when you’re not picking sockets up off the floor or out of machinery!”

The locking action is made possible by LINK’s case-hardened steel pin, and actuated by the spring-loaded collar; simple, straightforward and foolproof. There’s no traditional ball bearing to work loose. The harder you pull, the harder the locking pin grips, making it virtually impossible to slip or disconnect until you want it to. That’s the LINK “Lock Solid” Promise.
