Easily reach and remove those hard to work on fasteners found inside confined spaces like compact car engine compartments with the STEELMAN 96756 1/2-inch Drive 72-Tooth Extendable Flex-Head Ratchet. This ratchet is designed with a 5.5-inch extending handle that gives you exceptional reach while simultaneously providing increased leverage. This feature extends the handle length from a compact 13.5-inches out to 19-inches to help reach recessed fasteners and provide additional torque without having to resort to cheater bars that might damage tools. The ratchet head features a 72-tooth reversible ratcheting mechanism that only needs a 5 degree arc to engage from tooth to tooth, letting you do more work in smaller spaces. This mechanism is then mounted to a 180-degree flexible neck that lets you position the ratchet head to the angle you need to work from rather than try to angle and twist yourself to accommodate the tool to the fastener. When finished a quick-release button on the back of the ratchet allows effortless removal of attached sockets and extensions. Made from strong and durable heat-treated chrome-vanadium steel with polypropylene and TPR rubber handles this tool is chemical and corrosion resistant and can easily withstand the rigors of everyday use.
