Overview
This SK palm ratchet uses a 1/4 inch drive with a 72 tooth gimbal head, letting the head pivot to reach fasteners set at an angle. It weighs about 0.1 kilograms, a few ounces, sized for one handed use in tight spaces.
A gimbal or swivel head ratchet is built for engine bays, dashboards and other cramped areas where a standard fixed head ratchet cannot line up with a fastener. The 72 tooth count means a smaller swing arc is needed between strokes compared to a coarser tooth count, useful when there is barely room to move the handle.
- 1/4 inch drive
- 72 tooth gimbal head
- Palm ratchet design
- About 0.1 kilogram weight
Who it's for
Mechanics and technicians working in tight engine bay or under dash spaces benefit most from the gimbal head design. Buyers needing a heavy torque ratchet for large fasteners should look at a standard 3/8 or 1/2 inch drive ratchet instead, since this is a 1/4 inch drive palm tool.
Pros and cons
- Gimbal head pivots to reach angled fasteners
- 72 tooth count needs less swing per click
- Compact and light at about 0.1 kilograms
- 1/4 inch drive limits it to smaller fasteners
- Not suited to high torque jobs
Performance notes
The 72 tooth gimbal head lets the ratchet swing at an angle to the fastener rather than staying fixed in line, which is the main advantage in confined spaces. Fine 72 tooth spacing also means less handle swing is needed per click, helpful where clearance is limited.
