Insulated 3/8" drive ratchet
The Knipex 98 31 is a professional insulated hand ratchet with a 3/8 inch drive and 7-1/2 inch overall length. It features a reversing mechanism for quick direction changes and is constructed from chrome vanadium steel for durability. The plastic-coated insulated finish provides protection during electrical tasks.
Suited for electricians, not heavy industrial torque
This tool suits electricians and technicians working on live or de-energised low-voltage panels where insulated tools are required. The compact length allows access in tight enclosures and control cabinets. Buyers needing higher torque leverage or larger drive sizes for heavy mechanical fastening should look at alternative equipment.
3/8 inch drive size
The 3/8 inch square drive determines socket compatibility and is the single specification that confirms this ratchet matches your existing socket set. Verify this drive size before purchase to ensure correct fitment with your current sockets and accessories.
