1/4-Inch Drive Swivel T-Handle Roto-Lock Ratchet with Pivoting Head
Brief Overview
This 1/4" drive swivel T-handle ratchet delivers precision control in tight working spaces where standard ratchets cannot reach. The pivoting head with roto-lock angle adjustment provides the flexibility your technicians need for automotive assembly, electronics panel work, and machinery maintenance. For shops requiring a complete hand tool solution, this pairs exceptionally well with 72-tooth curved ratchet handles and air-powered alternatives for high-volume work.

Why Distributors Choose This Tool
Swivel-head ratchets occupy a critical niche: they're too specialized for home toolboxes but essential for professional shops working in tight engine bays, panel assemblies, and equipment maintenance. The roto-lock mechanism means technicians spend less time repositioning and more time fastening—directly improving their billable hours.
Stock this alongside your standard 1/4" ratchet range to serve customers who demand versatility and precision in confined spaces.
