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

    New Tool Joins Extensive Range of GearWrench Ratchets

    SPARKS, MD (March 24, 2015) – GearWrench®, a premier hand tool brand known for tools that deliver speed, strength and access to automotive technicians, today unveiled its new Locking Flex Head 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.
