Tekton 3/8 inch drive flex head small body ratchets use the same body as our 1/4 inch ratchets so that you get the access and agility of a smaller ratchet in 3/8 inch drive. To be clear and consistent about the size of our ratchets, we use the actual working length (center of drive tang to end of handle), not the overall length of the tool. Because of this, you may find that a Tekton 6 inch ratchet is slightly longer than other 6 inch ratchets on the market. The quick-release drive tang retains sockets with a spring-actuated detent ball—press the release button to easily add to or drop sockets from the drive tang. The single half-moon pawl maintains 9 teeth engaged with the gear at all times, ensuring that it won't slip or skip under stress. The flex head moves 180-degrees, snapping into 9 different detent angles. The handle's finger groove has pronounced interior edges for traction and control with any finger placement. The pommel at the end of the handle keeps your hand from slipping off and is rounded for comfort. Unlike conventional "low profile" designs that focus on controlling only the thickness of the head, we reduced the size in every dimension: length, width, and height. Tekton ratchets meet (and most far exceed) the industry standard for proof torque, a measure of strength verified by a single-cycle test that applies torque until the specified value is reached without failure or any permanent deformation.
