Composite Construction: The strong, one-piece steel head and handle is completely jacketed by a tough, high-impact poly shell, preventing accidental contact damage with nearby surfaces and making it comfortable to use in cold temperatures. 72-Tooth Gear = 5-Degree Swing Arc: The 72-tooth ratcheting system offers a concise 5-degree swing arc that works in tight spaces. Dual pawls maintain four teeth in contact with the gear at all times, ensuring it will never slip or skip under stress. The design of the head and ratcheting mechanism allows it to be disassembled for periodic cleaning or lubrication. Lock-On Quick Release Drive: The drive tang engages and retains sockets with a detent ball backed by a locking pin. Once it’s engaged, the socket is securely locked on—it won’t accidentally fall off or be pulled off by sticking on a fastener. Pressing the release button drops the detent ball out of the way so sockets can effortlessly slide on to, or simply fall off, the drive tang, even making a one-handed socket change possible. Offset Handle: The offset handle creates extra working clearance for fingers, preventing scraped knuckles, and features a soft, contoured grip for nonslip control, even with greasy hands.

Not actually a 6″ ratchet. This product is actually the Tekton 5″ model despite Home Depot saying it’s 6″ on it’s website, my order, and delivery slip. I blame Home Depot more than Tekton on this one for not selling what it says it is. Ratchet itself seems high quality but I wanted a little longer ratchet for more torque.
