    GEARWRENCH INTRODUCES LOCKING FLEX HEAD RATCHETS FOR GREATER CONTROL AND IMPROVED ACCESS

    New Tool Joins Extensive Range of GearWrench Ratchets

    unnamed (23)

    Built upon the original GearWrench 84-Tooth ratchet design, the new flex head ratchets feature a locking lever mechanism for multiple-angle access. This offers technicians nine lockable positions, allowing a high level of control. The locking mechanism keeps the handle secured in position when the head is angled and a load is applied, so the ratchet does not shift in position during use. The low profile head may also be left unlocked for applications where a range of positions is needed. The longer reach handle provides superior access to fasteners in even the tightest of spaces.
