Description

The 1/2″ Straight Ratchet Handle by Yato features a 1/2‑inch square drive, making it compatible with a wide range of sockets used for medium‑ to heavy‑duty fasteners. Its straight handle design provides good control and leverage, useful when space allows full handle swing. The ratchet mechanism has many teeth (90 teeth in some variants), allowing a fine ratcheting arc — helpful when working in tighter or partially obstructed spaces. It includes a direction‑switch lever and quick‑release socket coupler, which together make attaching, releasing, tightening or loosening sockets faster and more convenient. Made from hardened chrome‑vanadium (CrV) and chrome‑molybdenum (CrMo) steel with a satin finish, this ratchet handle is built for durability and long‑term workshop or automotive use.
