Applying Torque

Hold the ratchet firmly by the handle. Apply steady, even pressure in the desired direction of rotation. Avoid sudden jerking motions.

The fine-tooth mechanism allows for a small return angle, making it suitable for use in confined spaces.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the ratchet clean with a dry cloth to remove dirt, grease, and debris. For stubborn grime, a mild degreaser can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the ratchet head mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Avoid over-lubrication.
• Storage: Store the ratchet in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion. A tool chest or drawer is ideal.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the ratchet for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. Pay close attention to the drive square, the ratchet mechanism, and the handle.
