Ratchet handles of various sizes for use with sockets and socket sets. These are manufactured to international standards and can be used interchangably with all brands of socket. A ratchet is a metal handle attached to a ratcheting mechanism. This is then used with the socket to loosen or tighten nuts and bolts. If you pull or push the ratchet in one direction it will loosen or tighten the bolt. Pull or push in the other direction and it doesn't turn the socket. Instead it lets you reposition the ratchet so you can keep on turning comfortably, while keeping your grip on the bolt. This makes it ideal for working in confined spaces. Plus it allows you to work quickly - the fastener can be rapidly tightened or loosened in small increments without disconnecting the socket and wrench.
