The GEARWRENCH 1/2″ Drive 90-Tooth Ratchet is built for professionals who need high-performance tools that thrive in tight, confined workspaces. Featuring a fine 90-tooth gear with a 4° swing arc, this ratchet lets users tighten or loosen fasteners with minimal movement—ideal for mechanics, maintenance technicians, or tradespeople working in restricted access areas. Its teardrop-shaped, low-profile head with a flush-mounted on/off switch is purpose-built for tight clearances, while the precision pawl and full-polish chrome finish offer long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
This 1/2″ ratchet exceeds ASME torque performance requirements, giving users confidence in high-torque applications. A premium socket retention system with a secure ball detent prevents sockets from falling off during use—even without pressing the quick-release button. With visible on/off markings, an ergonomic contoured handle, and an 11.02-inch reach, it delivers reliable torque with fewer interruptions, whether you’re servicing heavy machinery or assembling structural frames on-site.
