Fixman Ratchet 150mm 1/4 Inch Drive
At a Glance: Compact 150mm ratchet handle with 1/4 inch square drive for use with compatible sockets in workshop, automotive, maintenance and assembly applications
The Fixman FIX J0111 Ratchet is a compact hand-operated socket tool designed for use with compatible 1/4 inch drive sockets and accessories. With an overall length of 150mm, it provides a practical combination of control, reach and manoeuvrability for smaller fastening tasks and work in confined areas. The ratcheting mechanism allows repeated turning of a fastener without removing and repositioning the socket after every movement, making it a useful addition to automotive, workshop, maintenance and general repair tool kits.
A ratchet allows a compatible socket to turn a fastener in the selected working direction while the handle can be moved back and forth without repeatedly removing the socket. The compact 150mm format is particularly useful for smaller fasteners and applications where working space is limited.
