The 81011XP – 1/4″ Drive 120XP™ Full Polish Chrome Ratchet is built for tradespeople, technicians, and maintenance crews who demand performance in tight workspaces. With a compact teardrop head that’s up to 22% smaller than standard ratchets and a precision 120-tooth mechanism, this tool delivers 3° of swing arc, making it perfect for tight clearances and fast turns. Its dual 60-tooth double-stacked pawls provide superior strength and reliability when torque matters, while the full polish chrome finish resists corrosion and wipes clean with ease. Ideal for professionals working in machinery, HVAC, automotive repair, and small assembly applications, this ratchet is a dependable tool you can count on shift after shift.
The ergonomic, contoured alloy steel handle offers better grip, improved control, and less fatigue, especially during repetitive fastening work. Highly visible directional switch markings make it easy to confirm drive direction at a glance, and the sealed head design helps keep out debris in dirty or gritty environments. Whether you’re turning fasteners under the hood, behind a panel, or inside an assembly, this ratchet is designed to meet demanding job site expectations.
