The Draper 1/2" Drive 72 Tooth Reversible Ratchet is a professional-grade hand tool designed for mechanics and engineers working with socket sets. Forged from chrome vanadium steel and heat-treated through hardening and tempering, this ratchet combines durability with a satin finish that resists corrosion whilst maintaining a professional appearance. The 72 tooth mechanism provides exceptional precision with a working arc of just 5 degrees, making this ratchet ideal for confined spaces where conventional ratchets with fewer teeth require greater swing radius. A lever-operated forward/reverse selector allows quick direction changes, whilst the quick release mechanism enables rapid socket changes to maintain workflow efficiency. Designed for demanding workshop environments, the spring-loaded ball bearing system ensures secure socket retention during use, preventing accidental socket detachment when working overhead or in awkward positions. The 1/2" square drive makes this ratchet suitable for general automotive work, heavy machinery maintenance, and other applications requiring substantial torque application with standard half-inch drive sockets. Features and Benefits: • Made from hardened and tempered chrome vanadium steel for long-term durability • 72 tooth mechanism delivers 5 degree working arc for tight-space access • Spring-loaded ball bearing provides secure socket retention • Quick release mechanism enables rapid socket changes • Lever forward/reverse selector for convenient direction changes Contents: • 1 x 72 Tooth Reversible Ratchet, 1/2" Sq.
