Product overview
Draper 1/2 Square Drive Reversible Soft Grip Ratchet 72 Tooth Chrome Vanadium Steel Blue 258mm
The Draper 72 Tooth Reversible Soft Grip Ratchet is a 1/2-inch square drive hand tool designed for general mechanical, automotive, workshop and maintenance applications. It is chrome vanadium steel that has been hardened and tempered, with a satin finish designed to provide a durable working surface.
The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism provides relatively fine engagement compared with coarser-tooth mechanisms, making the ratchet suitable for working in areas where limited handle movement is available. A forward/reverse selector lever allows the user to change between tightening and loosening without removing the socket.

A quick-release mechanism makes socket removal straightforward, while the spring-loaded ball bearing helps retain compatible 1/2-inch square drive sockets securely on the ratchet. The soft-grip handle is designed to provide a comfortable, controlled hold during routine and extended use.
The ratchet measures approximately 258mm in length.
