TEKTON 3/8 Inch Flex Head Comfort Grip Long Ratchet

Tekton's 3/8 inch drive flex head ratchets boast a 90-tooth gear that produces a compact working swing arc of only 4 degrees. The single half-moon pawl maintains constant engagement with 9 teeth of the gear, ensuring the ratchet won't slip or skip even under stress. The flexible head can pivot 180 degrees, snapping into 9 different detent angles to access tight spaces.

The classic non-quick-release drive tang securely retains sockets with a spring-actuated detent ball – simply push the sockets onto the ratchet and pull to remove them. The soft, overmolded grip and rounded oval shape of the comfort handle provide a natural, ergonomic fit for your palm and fingers.

Unlike conventional "low profile" designs that focus solely on reducing the head thickness, Tekton has meticulously reduced the ratchet's size in every dimension – length, width, and height – resulting in an ultra-compact head.

Tekton ratchets not only meet but most 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 permanent deformation.

In summary, Tekton's 3/8 inch drive flex head ratchets offer a unique combination of compact design, robust performance, and user-friendly features:

• 90-tooth gear with a 4-degree swing arc for tight spaces
