TEKTON 3/8 Drive Folding Quick-Release Stubby Ratchet

Tekton's 3/8-inch drive folding ratchets boast a 90-tooth gear that provides a working swing arc of 4 degrees. The single half-moon pawl keeps 9 teeth engaged with the gear at all times, ensuring the ratchet won't slip or skip under stress. The quick-release drive tang retains sockets with a spring-actuated detent ball, allowing users to easily add or remove sockets with the press of a button.

The non-locking joint in the handle gives it a continuous 180-degree range of motion, designed with just the right amount of friction to prevent the handle from flopping around. Unlike traditional "low profile" designs that focus solely on reducing the head's thickness, Tekton has reduced the ratchet's size in every dimension – length, width, and height.

Tekton ratchets not only meet but often far exceed the industry standard for proof torque, a measure of strength verified through a single-cycle test that applies torque until the specified value is reached without failure or any permanent deformation.

The versatility of Tekton's folding ratchets is unparalleled. When fully extended, the ratchet becomes a small, offset-handled tool. When partially folded, the handle gets out of the way, providing greater access in tight spaces. And when fully closed, the ratchet transforms into an ergonomic palm-grip tool.

The 90-tooth gear, coupled with the single half-moon pawl that maintains 9 teeth engaged at all times, ensures the ratchet's reliability and performance under stress, preventing slippage or skipping. This combination of features makes Tekton's folding ratchets a versatile and dependable choice for any mechanic's or DIYer's toolkit.
