Three new extra‑long handle ratchets, measuring 9", 18", and 24" long, and a two-piece set now join the growing line. 120XP ratchets feature 120 positions for every full rotation, allowing them to turn fasteners with a swing arc of as little as three degrees. 120XP Double-Stacked Pawl™ technology provides an ultra-narrow swing arc, allowing users to reach fasteners in severely limited access applications, while still delivering the strength and durability that have become synonymous with all GEARWRENCH tools. All 120XP ratchets have a 60-tooth gear that alternately engages the double-stacked pawls to produce the 120 positions and three-degree swing arc. The double-stacked pawls exceed ASME torque performance specifications. “The GEARWRENCH brand is well known for delivering tools that not only offer speed, strength, and access, but also deliver extreme productivity,�?? said James Stewart, Senior Product Manager for GEARWRENCH. “120XP ratchets offer added speed to help users complete jobs faster and these new extra-long handle models will allow a whole new level of access to hard-to-reach fasteners.�?? Like all 120XP ratchets, the new extra-long handle models have a teardrop-shaped low profile head and flush mounted on/off switch with highly visible on/off markings for improved access in tight spaces. The enclosed head design resists dirt infiltration. The following 120XP Extra-Long Handle Ratchet products are now available: · Cat. No. 81034 – 1/4" Drive Extra-Long Handle Ratchet (9" long) · Cat. No. 81269 – 3/8" Drive Extra-Long Handle Ratchet (18" long) · Cat. No. 81364 – 1/2" Drive Extra-Long Handle Ratchet (24" long) · Cat.
