Milwaukee 1/2in Drive Flexible Head Ratchet -1 Piece (4932479655)

Description

Genuine Milwaukee · Part no. 4932479655

Milwaukee 4932479655 is a 1/2in drive ratchet with a flexible head that locks in 11 positions or can be left to swing freely. A 90-tooth mechanism picks up a new tooth every 4 degrees, and the slim head with a flush direction lever gets into gaps around brakes, suspension and engine mounts where a straight ratchet can't line up with the bolt.

Good to know

• When does a flex head help? When the bolt sits behind something and a straight handle hits the arch, subframe or engine; angle the head and the handle clears the obstruction.
• Should I lock the head or leave it free? Lock it for any real force, so it can't flop over mid-pull and skin your knuckles; free-swinging is for spinning a loose bolt out quickly.
• Can I use it to break tight bolts? Crack seized bolts with a breaker bar first; the ratchet's mechanism is the weak point, and a flex joint adds another.

Which one?

For more leverage with the same flex head, the Milwaukee 1/2in Drive Long Flexible Head Ratchet -1 Piece (4932479656) has a longer handle; a live alternative is the Carlyle 1/2in Drive 90-Tooth 300mm Handle Flex Head Ratchet (CR129OF).
