Description

1/4-Inch Drive 36-Tooth Ratchet with Quick-Release

Brief Overview

This 1/4-inch drive ratchet delivers reliable performance for light to medium fastening applications where space is limited. Built with a polished chrome-plated shaft and chrome-vanadium steel construction, it offers durability and corrosion resistance in professional workshop environments. The 36-tooth head design provides a 10-degree swing arc, ideal for confined spaces and precision work. For shops requiring additional ratcheting options, consider pairing this with a higher-tooth-count curved ratchet or upgrading to pneumatic ratchet solutions for high-volume assembly operations.

Why This Ratchet Works for Your Customers

The 36-tooth design fills a practical middle ground: more precise than coarser 24-tooth ratchets but faster than high-tooth options in open-space work. The quick-release mechanism eliminates fumbling with stuck sockets, boosting shop productivity. The compact head and ergonomic grip make it comfortable for detail work where larger ratchets become cumbersome.

Bottom Line: A reliable, no-nonsense ratchet that earns shelf space in every professional toolkit and justifies healthy margins through consistent demand.
