Push Button Ratchet Joint - Opposing Pair - 216 degrees / 18 deg increment - 0.995 / 0.80 inch Tube
Description
Sold as a PAIR (2 Pieces). By pressing the large round button with your finger, the spring loaded mechanism releases allowing the joint to freely move between its entire range of motion. Manufactured from high quality and extremely durable plastics, you can count on these parts lasting long into the future. Each joint has a 0.20" through hole on each outlet allowing a physical method of securing the tube of choice though we always recommend that you use a good adhesive first!
