Milwaukee 1/4in Drive Compact Ratchet (4932479646)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932479646

Milwaukee's 1/4in drive compact ratchet (4932479646) is a short, slim-headed ratchet for small fasteners in tight places: trim and undertray bolts, sensor and bracket fixings, and anything tucked behind other parts in an engine bay. Its 90-tooth mechanism needs only 4 degrees of handle swing to pick up the next tooth.

Good to know

• Why does the 4 degree swing matter? Where the handle can only move a little, such as between an engine and the bulkhead, a ratchet needing a bigger arc won't click over at all; this one keeps turning in small strokes.
• Is 1/4in drive strong enough for any bolt? No, it is made for small fasteners. Break tight bolts loose with a bigger drive or a spanner first, and never extend the handle with a pipe.
• Can I tighten to a torque figure with it? No. A ratchet runs fasteners in and out; anything with a torque figure in the manual needs a torque wrench to finish.

Which one?

To hold the nut behind while the ratchet turns the bolt, a locking plier such as the Carlyle 152mm Long Nose Easy Release Locking Plier (CLPLNEZ6) grips it hands-free.
