Description

The Gedore aluminium reversible ratchet with 1/2″ drive (Model: 1993 ALU-10 6142700) is a precision-engineered, high-performance hand tool designed for professionals who demand durability, comfort and efficiency. Weighing significantly less than conventional ratchets, this tool is crafted with a special aluminium alloy, making it particularly suitable for overhead applications and extended use, where weight reduction is critical. It improves safety, reduces worker fatigue, and increases productivity, especially in environments requiring frequent directional changes and access to confined spaces.

Key features and benefits:
– Extremely lightweight design: Forged from hardened, special-grade aluminium, this ratchet is ideal for repetitive or overhead tasks, drastically reducing user fatigue.
– High-quality steel mechanism: Incorporates the robust U-10 ratchet mechanism made of premium steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliable performance under high torque.
– Precision engineering: Manufactured in accordance with DIN 3122 and ISO 3315 standards, ensuring compatibility, safety, and consistent performance.
– Reversible function with central locking: Features a lowered switch lever that locks in the neutral position and automatically engages for clockwise or counter-clockwise operation, improving usability and preventing unintentional direction changes.
– Push button release: Allows for quick and secure socket changes, enhancing workflow efficiency.
– Compact return angle (7.5°): Enables precise work in tight or confined spaces, perfect for maintenance and assembly operations.
– Ergonomic non-slip handle: Designed with a 2-component grip for maximum comfort and control, even in oily or wet conditions. Includes a suspension hole for easy storage.
– Drive compatibility: Suitable for all hand-operated sockets and accessories with 1/2″ square drive according to DIN 3120 – C 12.5 and ISO 1174 standards, featuring a secure ball locking device.
