TEKTON 3/8-Inch Drive x 6-Inch Flex Head Small Body Ratchet

Tekton's 3/8-inch drive flex head small body ratchets employ the same compact body as their 1/4-inch ratchets, allowing you to benefit from the access and agility of a smaller ratchet while using the larger 3/8-inch drive. To ensure clarity and consistency in communicating the size of their ratchets, Tekton measures the actual working length (from the center of the drive tang to the end of the handle), rather than the overall length of the tool. Consequently, a Tekton 6-inch ratchet may appear slightly longer than other 6-inch ratchets on the market.

The classic non-quick-release drive tang retains sockets with a spring-actuated detent ball; simply push the sockets onto the ratchet and pull to remove them. The single half-moon pawl maintains nine teeth engaged with the gear at all times, preventing slippage or skipping under stress. The flex head moves 180 degrees, snapping into nine different detent angles to help you navigate around obstacles.

The handle's finger groove features pronounced interior edges, providing traction and control for any finger placement. The rounded pommel at the end of the handle keeps your hand from slipping off, ensuring comfort during use.

Unlike conventional "low profile" designs that focus solely on reducing the head thickness, Tekton has reduced the size of their ratchets in every dimension: length, width, and height. Tekton ratchets meet (and mostly exceed) the industry standard for proof torque, a measure of strength verified by a single-cycle test that applies torque until the specified value is reached without failure or permanent deformation.

In summary, the 3/8-inch drive small body ratchet delivers the performance of a 1/4-inch ratchet, with a smaller head size for improved access to tight spaces. The 180-degree flex head, comfortable handle, and exceptional strength make this a versatile and reliable tool.
