Gearwrench 81028T 1/4 in Drive Teardrop Ratchet 90-tooth

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 81028T is a 1/4 inch drive teardrop head ratchet built for professional technicians who need reliable, precise torque in tight spaces. Constructed from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish, this ratchet features 90 gear teeth, delivering a minimum arc swing of 4 degrees — one of the tighter swing arcs available in a standard teardrop design. The contoured handle provides a secure grip during both high-torque and fine-adjustment work. At 6 inches overall length, it balances reach with control for under-hood, panel, and appliance service tasks. It meets ANSI and ASME B107.10 standards, confirming dimensional and performance compliance for professional use.

This ratchet is suited for automotive, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical service work where 1/4 inch drive fasteners are common. The teardrop head profile allows access to fasteners in recessed or confined areas where larger ratchet heads cannot seat properly. The 90-tooth gear mechanism is particularly useful when working in locations where full handle rotation is not possible, allowing the technician to advance fasteners with very short back-and-forth strokes. It is a single-piece tool intended for individual professional or shop use.

Installation Notes

This tool requires no installation. Before use, inspect the ratchet mechanism and drive square for wear or damage.
