Product Description

Get awesome access with the TEKTON 1/2 in. Drive Swivel Head Ratchet. Made for tight spots, its round head swivels continously 270 degrees to find the perfect angle of attack and its 72-tooth ratchet needs only 5 degrees of swing arc to operate. Made from premium quality chrome molybdenum steel, it is protected from rust and corrosion by a tough, chrome plated finish. Sockets lock onto the quick-release drive tang so you don't have to worry about dropping them. Two-material molded handle has soft rubber grips for non-slip control, even with greasy hands. The ratchet meets or exceeds ANSI performance and dimensional standards.
