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.

With these Ratchets you can Swivel around a Obstacle -While Also Providing Downward Force on the Ratchet to keep it on the bolt/nut.
These Ratchets also work as a Nut driver, this way you can spin the nut on as if it is a screw driver until it bottoms out and then Swivel the ratchet and give it the final tightening/torque the nut needs.
90% of the time these Ratchets are the only one's i need to do the Job, there are a few circumstances when I need a longer/shorter handled ratchet or an extension and a universal joint to get the job done but as i stated when you grab these ratchets first they can get around an obstacle while also allowing you to push downward on the nut/bolt to hold it in place, something that many flex head ratchets will not do (there are exceptions).
Give these a Try and you will also see you will grab these first just for the Convenience of having Multi angled head ratchet when you need to Get Just The Right Angle to Remove/Tighten a Nut/Bolt while also able to apply downward pressure to the part your working on..
TEKTON is also one of the Friendliest and Easiest to Work With when it comes to a Issue with a Tool, Shout out to Taylor & Colin at TEKTON and also a shout out to the Customer Service agent that answers the Phone (Sorry i do not remember Her Name right off but she is also very helpful and nice)
Again i have Pictures but for the Last Year or Two Amazon has not let me Upload Pictures to my Reviews, Keeps Stating This - "Hmm, that didn't work. Click the thumbnail to retry." and i do and even changed the format & size of Picture but to no avail .
