Steelman 78185 3/8" Drive Ratchet
The Steelman 78185 is a 3/8 inch drive hand ratchet built with a 72 tooth gear mechanism. Its mini head profile allows access to tight fasteners where a standard head will not fit. A quick release button secures sockets during use and ejects them cleanly when the job is done. This new tool is designed for professional automotive technicians and serious home mechanics.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Technicians working in cramped engine bays or on dense suspension components will benefit from the compact head and fine 72 tooth engagement. The quick release prevents dropped sockets in deep recesses. Buyers who need a larger drive size for high torque applications or who prefer a longer handle for maximum leverage should look at other options.
The specification that decides fit
The 3/8 inch drive size is the single specification that determines compatibility with your existing socket set. Only sockets and accessories with a matching 3/8 inch square drive will function with this ratchet. Verify your sockets before purchase.
