Q: What size is the handle on this ratchet?
The handle measures 4 1/4" long, a low-profile size for fingertip control in tight spots or a full palm grip when more turning force is needed.
17K0190 - Ratchet Set, Imperial
This reversible ratchet set is a real find. Its great benefit lies with its compact size and versatile socket and bit selection. At just 4 1/4" long, the handle is low profile, easily gripped and fits wherever your hand will comfortably go. For light work, you can control the handle using fingertips only; for heavier work requiring greater torque, the handle nestles comfortably in your palm for enhanced grip.
An excellent homeowner's kit, it contains enough 1/4" drive sockets and screwdriver bits to tackle most jobs (tightening loose fasteners, knock-down furniture assembly, mounting light fixtures/ceiling fans, adjusting small motors, etc.). Supplied in a fitted storage box that is just 5 1/2" × 3" × 1 3/8" thick, it is portable and fits neatly in a drawer, shed or toolbox.
The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism operates with as little as 5° of swing, minimizing lost motion. The ratchet head (with push-button socket removal), 2" extension, 1/4" hex adapter, and nine sockets are durable, rust-resistant, nickel-plated chrome-vanadium steel.
Includes 16 slot, Phillips, square drive, Pozidriv, hex, and Torx bits. Comes with 3/16", 1/4", 9/32", 5/16", 11/32", 3/8", 7/16", 15/32", and 1/2" sockets.
An exceptional price for a set of this quality.
