Ratchet Wrenches and Handles

Ratchet Wrenches

A ratchet mechanism allows you to turn fasteners without removing and repositioning the wrench.

Cushion-Grip Ratchet Wrenches

The handle is covered in rubber for a comfortable grip.

Quick-Release Ratchet Wrenches

No need to pull the socket off the tool—push a button to release.

Sealed-Head Ratchet Wrenches

A gasket seals in permanent lubrication and keeps out dirt, dust, and moisture.

Replaceable-Head Ratchet Wrenches

When the ratchet head becomes worn or damaged, change it out for a new one.

Fast-Driving Ratchet Wrenches

Twist the grip to rapidly turn a socket before final tightening or to remove a fastener once loosened. The handle also swings like a traditional ratchet wrench.

Adjustable-Length Ratchet Wrenches

The shaft on these wrenches extends and locks.

Tapered-Handle Ratchet Wrenches

Also known as a construction or spud handle, wrenches use the pointed end to align bolt holes.

Nonsparking Ratchet Wrenches

Made of aluminum-bronze, these wrenches satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present.

Electrical-Insulating Ratchet Wrenches

Insulated to protect against accidental contact with live electrical circuits, these wrenches are tested to 1,000 volts to meet IEC 60900.

Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Pivot the head to access fasteners in tight spots.

Quick-Release Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

No need to pull the socket off the tool—push a button to release.

Offset Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

The 20° offset head provides clearance when reaching over obstructions.

Tight-Clearance Ratchet Wrenches

Rather than teeth, these wrenches use a series of rollers to engage the ratchet, enabling work in the tightest of spaces. Also known as silent ratchets, they don't make the traditional click sound when turned.

Fingertip Ratchet Wrenches

Turn sockets in the most confined spaces.

Bolt-Through Ratchet Wrenches

Bolts and threaded rod pass through these wrenches when used with bolt-through sockets.

Flex-Head Wrench Handles

Pivot the head for access to fasteners in tight spots.

Adjustable-Length Flex-Head Wrench Handles

Extend the shaft for additional length.

Cushion-Grip Flex-Head Wrench Handles

A rubber coating provides a comfortable grip.

Sliding T-Style Wrench Handles

Position the head anywhere along the handle.

L-Style Wrench Handles

The L shape provides clearance when reaching over obstructions.

Screwdriver-Style Socket Handles

Turn sockets from above when there's not room to swing a standard wrench handle.

Ratcheting Screwdriver-Style Socket Handles

The ratcheting mechanism turns sockets quickly.

Flexible Screwdriver-Style Socket Handles

Bend around obstructions to turn hard-to-reach fasteners.

Speeder Handles

Fasten quickly with these crank-style handles.

Air-Powered Ratchet Wrenches

Standard Duty Air-Powered Ratchet Wrenches

Use these tools for general shop applications.

Heavy Duty Air-Powered Ratchet Wrenches

Built for durability, these wrenches handle the demands of high-volume production and tough maintenance applications.

Cordless Ratchet Wrenches

Socket Wrenches

T-Handle Socket Wrenches

Lug Wrenches

Turn lug bolts on car and truck wheels. These wrenches have a different socket size at each end.

Flex-Head Socket Wrenches

Pivot the socket end to access hard-to-reach fasteners.

Bolt-Through Socket Wrenches

Turn nuts on bolts and threaded rod, which can pass through the short end of the wrench. For additional leverage, slip a bar through the short end to create a T-handle.

Adjustable Socket Wrenches

Slide the lever to adjust the jaws to fit multiple sizes of square and hex fasteners.

Socket Wrench Sets

These wrenches have one pivoting socket end and one open end.

Telephone Box Socket Wrenches

Also known as a can socket wrench, this tool opens telephone box fasteners and tightens nuts on binding posts.
