Description

3/8-Inch Drive 72-Tooth Curved Ratchet Handle

Overview

This 3/8-inch drive curved ratchet handle delivers smooth, precise operation in tight working environments. The 72-tooth design provides fine 5-degree increments between catches, minimizing hand repositioning during assembly and maintenance tasks. The curved shaft geometry is engineered specifically for access to fasteners in recessed or confined areas—a critical advantage over straight handles. Complement your ratchet collection with smaller drive alternatives or larger capacity options to cover your full fastening range.

Key Features

  • 72-Tooth Reversible Mechanism: Fine 5-degree increment between each tooth ensures precise control and reduces wrist strain during repetitive work
  • Curved Shaft Design: Optimized geometry for accessing fasteners in tight spaces, recesses, and hard-to-reach engine bays
  • Soft-Grip Handle: Dual-material construction (black with blue accent inserts) reduces hand fatigue during extended use
  • Quick-Release Square Drive: Standard 3/8-inch drive with detent ball for secure socket seating
  • Reversible Direction Lever: Smooth, accessible switching between tightening and loosening
  • Compact Length: 205mm overall length maximizes maneuverability in confined spaces
