Gearwrench 81268T Ratchet Set 1/4 3/8 in Drive 90 Tooth 2 Pc

Product Description

The GEARWRENCH 81268T is a 2-piece ratchet set that includes both a 1/4 inch and a 3/8 inch drive teardrop-head ratchet. Both ratchets are built from alloy steel with a chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and durability in shop environments. The 90-tooth gear mechanism delivers a minimum arc swing of 4.3 degrees, allowing work in tight spaces where a standard ratchet cannot complete a full swing. This set is designed for professional mechanics, technicians, and tradespeople who need reliable, compact ratchets for daily service work.

The 81268T suits residential and commercial service applications including automotive repair, HVAC equipment service, plumbing fixture work, and general mechanical assembly. The teardrop head profile keeps the tool low-profile against fasteners in confined areas. The contoured handle provides grip control during both drive and return strokes. Both ratchets meet ASME B107.10 standards, making them appropriate for professional and regulated shop environments where tool compliance matters.

Installation Notes

Ratchets should be inspected before use to confirm the pawl and gear teeth are free of debris and functioning correctly. Always confirm the direction selector is fully engaged before applying torque. When using on fasteners in pressurized or energized systems, de-energize or depressurize the system before beginning work per applicable codes and site safety procedures. Service kits are available to rebuild the ratchet mechanism without replacing the full tool.
