Description

1/2-Inch Drive Ratchet with Plastic Handle

Brief Overview

This 1/2-inch drive ratchet is a reliable workhorse for general-purpose socket work across automotive repair, maintenance, and assembly applications. The plastic-grip design offers comfort during extended use while maintaining professional durability. If you need higher tooth counts for tighter spaces, consider pairing this with a 36-tooth precision ratchet or exploring metal-handled alternatives for maximum job-site resilience.

Key Features

  • 1/2-inch square drive – Compatible with standard 1/2-inch drive socket sets and extensions
  • Chrome-plated metal head – Corrosion-resistant, professional finish
  • Directional lever switch – Smooth forward/reverse operation for quick work transitions
  • Ergonomic plastic handle – Black grip with red/orange textured inlay for anti-slip control during high-torque applications
  • Straight, polished metal shaft – Ensures precise socket engagement without binding
  • General-purpose design – Suitable for automotive, industrial, and maintenance applications

Why This Works for Your Business

Margin-Friendly Entry Point: The plastic-handle construction keeps cost competitive while delivering the performance mechanics expect from a 1/2-inch drive tool.

High Turnover Potential: Ratchets are consumable-adjacent in many shops—customers replace worn units regularly. Stock depth here drives repeat orders.

Compatibility: Works seamlessly with existing 1/2-inch socket inventories your customers already own, making it an easy upsell alongside socket sets and extensions.

Mixed-Fleet Appeal: Mechanics often keep multiple ratchets on hand. This plastic-grip version is ideal for bench work, general maintenance, and training applications where durability trumps premium aesthetics.
