Professional 1/2" ratchet with flexible head

The Wera 05003600001 is a 1/2 inch drive hand ratchet built for professional mechanics and serious DIY users. It features a 72-tooth mechanism and a round head that flexes up to 180 degrees for access in confined areas. A 5-position flex head and speed sleeve allow rapid operation at different angles. The tool ships in a metal case with a foam insert and includes a tether-capable option.

Ideal for tight-space fastening tasks

Technicians who need a compact ratchet with a reversing function and tether compatibility will find this model effective. The satin finish resists corrosion during daily workshop use. Buyers requiring a fixed-head ratchet or a different drive size should consider other options. The included storage case keeps the tool protected when not in use.

72-tooth mechanism with 180-degree flex

The 72 geared teeth provide a fine increment for turning stubborn bolts where swing room is limited. The round head design allows the flexible joint to articulate through a full 180 degree range. This combination of tooth count and head mobility is the primary specification that determines suitability for restricted-access applications.

  • Fast turning with 72 geared teeth

Questions about this item

Do I need a 1/2" drive socket set before using this ratchet?

Yes, this ratchet has a 1/2" square drive so you must already own 1/2" drive sockets or accessories for it to turn any fastener.

Will the 72-tooth mechanism still engage cleanly on older, worn 1/2" sockets I already have?

The 72 geared teeth only need 5° of swing, so they engage even when worn sockets leave very little room to move the handle.

How can I confirm the flex head is locking at the angles I set after assembly?

Move the head through its 180° range; it should click positively into each of the 5 preset positions and hold without drifting.
