Tekton SRH31006 ¼ Inch Drive x 6 Inch Flex Quick Release Ratchet

180 Degree, 9 Position Flex Ratchet

The flex head sweeps through 180 degrees, snapping to nine different detent angles to reach around obstructions. A wide, spring-actuated pawl engages deeply with well-defined teeth to hold the head in position while connecting with fasteners and operating the ratchet.

90 Tooth Gear

Smooth and refined, the 90-tooth ratcheting system offers a concise 4° swing arc that works in the tightest spaces. Depending on the drive size, the single half-moon pawl maintains 6 to 9 teeth (more than most dual pawl designs) in contact with the gear at all times, ensuring it will never slip or skip under stress.

To aid the initial wear-in of mated parts and to keep them moving smoothly, the internals are lubricated with a few drops of light machine oil. The design of the head and ratcheting mechanism allows it to be disassembled for periodic cleaning or lubrication.

Ultra Compact Ratchet Head

In most situations, access to tight spaces isn't limited by the thickness of the head because there's still the length of the socket or sometimes an extension to account for. Rather, it's usually a head that's too wide or too long that gets in the way. Unlike conventional "low profile" designs that focus on controlling only the thickness of the head, we reduced the size in every dimension: height, width, and length. And most importantly, we did it without compromising strength.
