Ratchet Wrenches

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

Sealed-Head Ratchet Wrenches with Tether Ring

When you’re working up high, keep these wrenches secure at your side. Hook their tether ring to a carabiner or lanyard (not included), so they won’t fall to the ground if dropped.

Sealed-Head Quick-Release Ratchet Wrenches

Built for tough industrial conditions, these wrenches have a gasket that seals lubrication in and keeps dirt, dust, and moisture out to protect the ratchet mechanism. When it’s time to release the socket, just push the button on the back of the wrench head.

Sealed-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Sealed against dust, dirt, and moisture, these wrenches can be used in greasy machine shops and dusty construction sites.

Adjustable-Length Ratchet Wrenches

The shaft on these wrenches extends and locks at set increments.

Quick-Release Ratchet Wrenches

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

Replaceable-Head Ratchet Wrenches

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

Tapered-Handle Ratchet Wrenches

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

Adjustable-Length Quick-Release Ratchet Wrenches

Extend the length of these wrenches for more reach—the shaft locks into place at set increments. When it’s time to change your socket, release it with the push of a button.

Twist-Handle Ratchet Wrenches

Also known as rotator ratchets, these wrenches let you rotate the grip to tighten a socket. They're useful when you don't have the space to swing the handle side to side.

Fold-Up Ratchet Wrenches

Customize the handle angle to reach over obstructions or fold the handle away to create a palm ratchet.

Quick-Release Fold-Up Ratchet Wrenches

The convenience of quick socket changes combined with the versatility of a folding wrench.

Bolt-Through Ratchet Wrenches

Pair these wrenches with a bolt-through socket to reach nuts at the bottom of a long threaded rod or bolt which can pass through the head of the wrench.

Dual-Size Ratchet Wrenches

Flip between 1/4″ and 3/8″ drive-size sockets without switching out your wrench.

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.

Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
Prevention Ratchet Wrenches

With no internal screws, these ratchet wrenches don’t have a single small part that could fall into and damage equipment.

Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Pivot the head on these wrenches 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.

Sealed Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Sealed with a gasket to keep lubrication in and debris out, these wrenches can be used in dusty environments. The head pivots, so you can access fasteners in tight places.

Adjustable-Length Quick-Release
Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Pivot the head and extend the handle—these wrenches adapt to reach fasteners in challenging spots. When it’s time to release the socket, just push the button on the back of the head.

Sealed Offset Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Reach over obstructions and access fasteners in tight spots—even in dirty and dusty areas. To protect the ratcheting mechanism, these wrenches have a gasket that seals lubrication in and keeps debris out.

Adjustable-Length Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Access fasteners in hard-to-reach spots—these wrenches have a handle that extends and a head that pivots.

Offset Flex-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Grip the angled handle on these wrenches to reach over obstructions and pivot the head to access fasteners in hard-to-reach places.

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 clicking sound when turned.

Fingertip Ratchet Wrenches

Prevent overtightening fasteners—you’ll feel the resistance from the fastener in your fingers, so you'll know when to stop. Also known as thumbwheel ratchets.

Combination Swivel-Head Ratchet
Wrench and Ratcheting Bit Screwdrivers

Tighten or loosen fasteners with a socket or bit—these tools have a magnet for attaching both.

Swivel-Head Ratchet Wrenches

Position their head anywhere within 180° for more flexibility than flex-head ratchet wrenches.

Wrench Handles

Flex-Head Wrench Handles

Access fasteners in tight spots by pivoting the head to an optimal angle. These nonratcheting wrench handles are also known as breaker bars—they’re long enough for you to get the leverage needed to break stuck fasteners free.

Adjustable-Length Flex-Head Wrench Handles

Extend the shaft for additional length.

Ratcheting Flex-Head Wrench Handles

A ratcheting head on these wrench handles means there’s no need to reposition them when breaking stuck fasteners free. They’re also known as breaker bars.

Flex-Head Wrench Handles with Tether Ring

Loosen stubborn fasteners while working up high—these wrench handles clip to a carabiner or lanyard (not included) to prevent drops.

Nonsparking Flex-Head Wrench Handles

Break stuck fasteners loose without causing sparks. Made of aluminum-bronze, these wrench handles meet OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present.

Sliding T-Style Wrench Handles

Position the head anywhere along the handle.

Speeder Handles

Crank-Style Speeder Handles

Fasten quickly with these crank-style handles.

Spinning Speeder Handles

Hold the collar in place to position your socket, then rotate the free-spinning T-handle to quickly fasten nuts and bolts.

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

T-Handle Socket Wrenches

Socket Wrenches

Bolt-Through Socket Wrenches
