Description

1/4-Inch Drive 72-Tooth Ratchet Handle, 273mm Length

Brief Overview

This extended-length 1/4-inch drive ratchet delivers the fine-tooth precision required for detailed automotive assembly, electronics, and tight-space fastening. The 273mm overall length provides leverage without compromising maneuverability, making it ideal for work where standard-length ratchets fall short. The 72-tooth mechanism ensures minimal ratchet engagement—just 5° per tooth—reducing workpiece rotation and preventing fastener damage on precision applications.

Whether you're stocking professional-grade hand tools for your mechanics or building a complete socket system, pair this with shorter-reach ratchet options to maximize shop coverage across all fastening scenarios.

Key Features

  • 72-Tooth Mechanism: 5° engagement angle minimizes fastener spin and reduces rounding risk on delicate work
  • Extended 273mm Length: Optimal for confined spaces and precision assembly without sacrificing control
  • 1/4-Inch Square Drive: Direct compatibility with standard 1/4-inch socket sets
  • Reversible Action: Smooth directional lever for forward/reverse switching
  • Polished Chrome Finish: Corrosion-resistant metal with professional appearance
  • Ergonomic Rubberized Handle: Blue and black textured grip with finger-friendly contours
  • Integrated Lanyard Hole: Convenient tethering point for tool management and loss prevention
  • Round Ratchet Head: Compact design reduces snagging in tight quarters

Business Advantages for Resellers

Margin Opportunity: Extended-length precision ratchets command a premium in professional workshops—technicians recognize the value of tool variety and won't compromise on length when space demands it.

Completion Sales: Customers who own 1/4-inch socket sets often lack the extended-reach option. Position this alongside longer-drive alternatives to complete their toolkit and increase transaction value.

Durability & Repeat Orders: The 72-tooth mechanism and chrome finish ensure years of shop use, building customer confidence in your catalog's quality.

Workshop Standard: Professional mechanics expect multiple ratchet lengths in their toolkit—this fills the mid-range gap perfectly.

Why Resellers Choose This Tool

The 273mm length sits perfectly between compact and full-extension ratchets—long enough to reach constrained fasteners but short enough to maintain control in tight engine bays, electrical cabinets, and precision assembly stations. The 72-tooth design is a selling point itself: professionals know that fine-tooth ratchets reduce fastener damage on critical work, directly protecting their reputation and bottom line.

Stock this in your 1/4-inch drive section as a premium offering. Mechanics upgrading from basic ratchets will recognize the improved engagement and smoother action immediately.
