The Proxxon 1/2" ratchet wrench is a robust tool with flawless gearing. Multiple teeth out of the 72 engage simultaneously, allowing for extreme torque transfer. It features a reverse lever for operation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, as well as a release mechanism that ejects the bits at the push of a button. The head and shaft are forged from a single piece of CrV steel, double-nickel plated, and matte chrome finished. The handle is made of oil- and acid-resistant TPR (thermoplastic rubber) and has a convenient hanging hole.
