Ratchet with a new twist

This 1/2″ twist-handle ratchet joins the existing 1/4″ and 3/8″ models available from Facom and two new enhancements have been added across the range – namely, a knurled section has been added to the shaft to allow finger-tightening in confined spaces and a redesigned head profile for better access.

The tools provide a traditional ratcheting action and Facom’s ‘Protwist’ mechanism allows you to continue turning the fastener by twisting the handle, similar to a ratchet screwdriver.
