Mini-Ratchet Gets Into Tight Spaces

Mini-Ratchet Gets Into Tight Spaces Milwaukee’s 7-in-1 Multi-Bit Mini Ratchet is a handy, pocket-sized tool for reaching spots that standard drivers can’t access. A practical option for shop and field use, the ratchet’s 4-degree arc swing allows small, controlled movements in confined spaces. A carabiner-style clip makes it easy to attach and carry. It’s paired with a set of short bits stored within reach for quick bit changes. A thumbwheel is incorporated into the design to help select bits and control the ratcheting action. The mechanism itself is engineered to provide enough stops so the user can execute modest swings with the handle, a feature that can be helpful when more substantial torque isn’t required or possible. “Just got my 7-in-1 Multi-Bit Mini Ratchet. It’s tiny but built well. This mini tool helps you get into hard-to-reach spots,” says an online reviewer. The Mini Ratchet can be purchased in stores and online from retailers such as Ace Hardware, Northern Tool and Home Depot for $20 to $25. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup: Milwaukee Tool, 13135 W.
