Gearwrench 81212T 3/8-Drive Stubby Flex Ratchet
Gearwrench 81212T is a 5-inch stubby flex-head ratchet with a 3/8-inch square drive. Its 90-tooth mechanism has a 4-degree swing arc, while the six-position head lets the handle approach the work at different angles. The contoured handle and 0.47-inch head thickness are useful details when evaluating a confined space. The short handle should be selected for access rather than assumed to provide the reach of a full-length ratchet.
