Tooled-Up.com stocks them in several head styles, including round head, pear head, flexible head, swivel head and hinged head, so there is a ratchet to suit open access as well as awkward angles.

The selection includes locking versions such as the 1/4" Drive Pear Head Locking Ratchet and the 3/8" Drive Flexible Head Locking Ratchet, which hold the socket firmly in place. For larger fasteners, the 3/4" drive line is split into a ratchet with detachable handle, a handle bar and a separate ratchet head, so you can build the set-up to suit the job.

Key Features of Expert By Facom Ratchets

• Chrome vanadium steel construction: strong enough for professional use and resistant to wear, so the tool keeps performing under load.
• Matt chrome finish: helps protect against corrosion and wipes clean of oil and grease.
• Safety lock mechanism: on models such as the 1" drive ratchet, it secures the socket so it cannot drop off when you are working at full stretch or overhead.
• Locking ratchet designs: the 1/4" pear head and 3/8" locking models keep sockets retained during repeated use.
• Articulated heads: flexible, swivel and hinged heads let you approach a fastener off-axis, which helps around pipework, engine bays and machinery guards.
• Pear and round head profiles: pear heads give a slim profile for tighter spots, while round heads suit general-purpose work.
• Modular 3/4" drive options: a detachable handle, handle bar and ratchet head allow extra leverage or a more compact set-up, depending on the task.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which drive size should I choose?

Choose 1/4" drive for small fixings and delicate work, 3/8" for most general mechanical jobs and 1/2" for larger fasteners needing more torque. The 3/4" and 1" drive models are intended for heavy-duty applications.

What is the benefit of a flexible or swivel head ratchet?

An articulated head lets the handle sit at an angle to the socket, making it easier to reach fasteners blocked by pipes, brackets or housings.

What does a locking ratchet do?

A locking ratchet holds the socket securely on the drive, reducing the risk of it slipping off during use. This is handy when working overhead or in places where a dropped socket would be hard to retrieve.

Can I use a 3/4" drive ratchet head with different handles?

The separate 3/4" drive ratchet head, detachable handle ratchet and handle bar let you configure the tool for the job. Check the product listing to confirm compatibility before ordering.
