GEARWRENCH 81304XP 1/2″ Drive 120XP Full Polish Chrome 11″ Teardrop Ratchet

The GEARWRENCH GW-81304XP 1/2″ Drive 120XP™ Full Polish Chrome Teardrop Ratchet delivers the torque, precision, and compact access needed by professionals working in demanding environments. With a finely tuned 120-position gear system offering a tight 3° swing arc, this ratchet is specifically engineered for turning fasteners where space is extremely limited—such as under dashboards, inside engine bays, or deep within mechanical assemblies. The double-stacked 60-tooth pawl system provides continuous engagement, offering exceptional strength without sacrificing speed or control.

Its full polish chrome finish resists rust and wipes clean easily, ideal for technicians working in grease-heavy or dirty environments. The enclosed teardrop-style head minimizes contamination from jobsite debris while the high-visibility directional switch makes forward/reverse selection intuitive and fast. The ratchet’s contoured alloy steel handle is shaped for comfort, control, and reduced hand fatigue, making it a preferred hand tool for extended use in service bays or field repair.
