GEARWRENCH 81216T 2PC 1/4″ & 3/8″ Drive 90-Tooth Flex Head Teardrop Ratchet Set

The GEARWRENCH 81216T 2-Piece 1/4″ & 3/8″ Drive 90-Tooth Flex Head Teardrop Ratchet Set is a high-access solution built for professionals who work in confined, awkward, or hard-to-reach areas. With 90-tooth gear mechanisms delivering a tight 4° swing arc, these ratchets allow fastener movement with minimal handle travel—ideal when you’re working behind engine brackets, inside ductwork, or around complex machinery. The 6-position flex head increases versatility, allowing users to pivot around obstacles without needing to switch tools or add extensions.

Both ratchets feature a low-profile teardrop head and a flush-mounted reverse switch, helping you stay clear of snags while navigating tight spaces. A full polish chrome finish makes cleanup easy and resists corrosion in gritty or damp environments. Engineered from high-strength alloy steel and exceeding ASME performance specs, this set is designed to endure repeated use under torque-heavy workloads.
