Milwaukee 1/2in Drive Long Flexible Head Ratchet -1 Piece (4932479656)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932479656

This is the long-handled version of Milwaukee's 1/2in drive flex-head ratchet, part 4932479656, weighing about 1.31kg. The longer handle gives more leverage on stubborn suspension and subframe bolts, while the head locks in 11 positions or swings freely, so you can reach round a driveshaft or exhaust and still pull with the handle where there's room.

Good to know

• Long or standard handle? The long one gives more turning force and reach under a car; the standard one is easier to swing in a tight engine bay. Many people keep both.
• Is the extra leverage safe on the ratchet? It is made for it, but don't add a pipe over the handle: past a point, crack the bolt with a breaker bar instead.
• How fine is the ratchet? With 90 teeth it needs only 4 degrees of swing to click on, which helps where a long handle has very little room to move.

Which one?

In tighter spots the shorter Milwaukee 1/2in Drive Flexible Head Ratchet -1 Piece (4932479655) swings easier; a long-handled option on our site is the Carlyle 1/2in Drive Ratchet 90-Tooth 635mm Long Handle Comfort Grip (CR1290GXL).
