1/4″ Drive 90-Tooth 5″ Teardrop Ratchet

The GEARWRENCH 1/4″ Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet is built for pros who need strength and precision in tight working conditions. With a fine 90-tooth gear and a compact teardrop head, this ratchet delivers a 4° swing arc—perfect for turning fasteners in cramped spaces like engine bays, HVAC setups, or behind equipment panels. Its low-profile head and flush-mounted directional switch are designed to fit where standard ratchets can’t. Manufactured from durable alloy steel with a high-polish chrome finish, this ratchet not only resists corrosion but also wipes clean fast, making it a reliable tool for job sites and service trucks.

This ratchet meets or exceeds ASME torque specs, making it one of the strongest in its class.

From mechanics and maintenance crews to HVAC installers and industrial techs, the GEARWRENCH 1/4″ ratchet is a go-to when space is tight, and performance can’t be compromised.
