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.

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

Quick-Release Ratchet Wrenches

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

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.

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.

Fold-Up Ratchet Wrenches

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Combination Swivel-Head Ratchet
Wrench and Ratcheting Bit Screwdrivers
