Description

1/2-Inch Drive Ratchet Wrench, 36-Tooth Chrome

Brief Overview

This is a solid workhorse 1/2" drive ratchet wrench built for professional mechanics and industrial technicians. The 36-tooth design delivers fine increment control, making it ideal for applications where precision engagement matters. The polished chrome finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance under heavy shop use. For crews requiring flexibility in socket sizes, consider pairing this with complementary smaller drive ratchets or exploring plastic-handle variants for specific work environments.

Key Features

  • 1/2-inch Square Drive – Accepts standard 1/2" sockets and extensions; universal compatibility with professional socket sets
  • 36-Tooth Ratcheting Mechanism – Fine 10-degree increments per tooth stroke for controlled fastening in tight spaces
  • Chrome-Plated Steel Construction – Durable metal head and shank resist wear, corrosion, and repeated impact
  • Directional Lever – Quick forward/reverse switching without removing the tool from the fastener
  • Central Release Button – Smooth, positive socket ejection under load
  • Ergonomic Two-Tone Rubberized Handle – Blue and black grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use; textured surface prevents slipping in oily conditions
  • Hanging Loop – Butt-end lanyard hole for tool organization and tether attachment

Why This Ratchet Works for Your Shop

Stock Appeal: Mechanics consistently request 1/2" drive tools—this is a staple that moves inventory reliably. The 36-tooth mechanism appeals to detail-conscious technicians who value control over speed.

Profit Margin: Entry-level pricing with premium appearance (polished chrome) creates strong perceived value. Margin opportunity on bulk fleet orders.

Durability Advantage: Chrome-plated steel withstands shop environments. Unlike plastic-handle variants, the metal construction handles abuse without cracking or fading.

Upsell Potential: Stock alongside socket sets, extensions, and ratchet repair kits to capture complete job packages.

For the Professional Distributor

This 1/2" ratchet represents the bread-and-butter tool category. Mechanics own multiple units—one lives in the toolbox, another on the workbench, a backup in the vehicle. The 36-tooth design positions it above cheap economy tools but below specialty precision ratchets, creating a natural pricing sweet spot.

Volume Recommendation: Consider selling in toolkit bundles with popular socket sizes (10mm through 24mm) to accelerate turnover. The chrome finish photographs well in online catalogs and justifies margin.
