TEKTON 24-Inch Quick-Release Ratchet, 1/2-Inch Drive

Tekton 1/2 inch drive ratchets feature a 90-tooth gear that produces a working swing arc of just 4 degrees. The single half-moon pawl keeps 9 teeth engaged with the gear at all times, preventing the ratchet from slipping or skipping under stress. The quick-release drive tang retains sockets with a spring-actuated detent ball, allowing you to easily add or remove sockets from the drive tang by simply pressing the release button. The handle's finger groove has pronounced interior edges, providing traction and control regardless of how you grip it. The rounded pommel at the end of the handle keeps your hand from slipping off, ensuring a comfortable grip.

Unlike conventional "low profile" designs that focus solely on the thickness of the head, Tekton has reduced the size of their ratchets in every dimension – length, width, and height – for an ultra-compact design. These ratchets meet, and in most cases significantly exceed, the industry standard for proof torque. Proof torque is a measure of strength verified by a single-cycle test that applies torque until the specified value is reached, without any failure or permanent deformation.

The fine-tooth 90-tooth gear on Tekton ratchets requires only a 4-degree swing arc to effectively transfer power, making them highly maneuverable in tight spaces. The single, half-moon pawl maintains 9 teeth engaged with the gear at all times, ensuring the ratchet remains secure and reliable under stress. Tekton's commitment to quality is evident in their ratchets' ability to exceed industry standards for proof torque, demonstrating their exceptional strength and durability.
