Apex 81362t Flex Head Ratchet 1/2 Drive 17 Inch 90 Tooth

Product Description

The APEX 81362t is a flex head ratchet handle designed for professional trade use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service applications. Built on a 1/2 inch drive, it accepts standard 1/2 inch drive sockets and accessories. The flex head allows the user to adjust the working angle, improving access in confined or awkward spaces. The 90-tooth ratchet mechanism provides a tight 4-degree swing arc, useful when working in areas with limited handle travel. The handle measures 17 inches in length, giving additional torque leverage for stubborn fasteners without requiring a breaker bar.

This ratchet handle suits residential and commercial service work where a standard fixed-head ratchet lacks the clearance needed. Typical applications include equipment installations, panel work, and mechanical assembly tasks where fastener orientation varies. The 1/2 inch drive size makes it appropriate for medium to heavy fastener loads common in HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and structural mechanical connections. It is sold as a single unit.
