Socketry – Technical Information<br />

Ratchets<br />

In order to offer outstanding choice and ensure that the correct tool is always available, <strong>Britool</strong> offers a var<strong>ie</strong>ty of ratchet styles and mechanisms:<br />

Lever Reversible Ratchet<br />

This extremely strong mechanism is available in 1/4", 3/8" and<br />

1/2" drive. The 72 tooth design offers a minimum working arc<br />

of 5°. The mechanism is extremely smooth, and gives an almost<br />

negligible reverse torque—removing the risk of accidentally<br />

undoing the fastener on the reverse stroke. The twin pawl<br />

mechanism of this ratchet uses a different pawl for each direction<br />

of travel. This means that each is ideally positioned to take the<br />

greatest possible load—making it almost impossible to overload<br />

this ratchet design in normal use. Thumb lever controlled<br />

reversible action.<br />

Clutch Ratchet<br />

A highly innovative, simple, robust design, this roller bearing<br />

mechanism is available in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" square drive.<br />

The toothless nature of this ratchet gives a silent and smooth<br />

action with a minimum working arc of less than 1º—this is the<br />

ultimate ratchet for use where access is restricted. The design<br />

features a push through square drive to change direction.<br />

Swivel Head Ratchet<br />

This ratchet design is available in 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2”<br />

square drive. It features a 72 tooth mechanism – offering a<br />

minimum working arc of 5º. Despite its compact size, the<br />

mechanism offers extremely good load characteristics – 17<br />

teeth are engaged during loading, giving 45% more strength<br />

than most conventional ratchets. The swivel head design<br />

offers unrivalled access.<br />

Flexi-Head Ratchet<br />

Available in 3/8” and 1/2”, this high strength design features<br />

the same mechanism as the lever reversible ratchet, coupled<br />

with a long handle and a flexible head – giving great access<br />

characteristics and allowing high torque loads.<br />

Lock-on<br />

Quick Release<br />

Mechanism<br />

The lever-reversible<br />

ratchet design is also<br />

available with a quick<br />

release mechanism which<br />

locks the socket in place,<br />

making accidental loss<br />

of the socket virtually<br />

impossible.<br />
