RATCHET: This 1/4-inch Drive 90 Tooth Ratchet is made of Chrome Vanadium steel with a corrosion-resistant Mirror Polish Chrome finish for long-lasting strength. This old-fashioned tool has a ratcheting mechanism with 90 teeth that makes it perfect for working in small or tight places.
Considerations: The reversible 90 tooth ratcheting mechanism only swings about 4 degrees, and the drive direction can be changed with a flick of the thumb switch that is on the back of its head. As you work, the quick-release drive tang makes sure that sockets don’t fall off or get stuck on the heads of screws.
Because you need it. Designed for today’s tight and confined engine compartments, this ratchet has a knurled handle so you can keep a tight grip on it while you work with it. As far as torque performance goes, this 90-tooth ratchet meets and even exceeds the standards set by the ASME.
It is reliable, effective, and efficient. Users believe that ARES are good tools. We give you a limited lifetime warranty on our Performance Assurance service.

This is a great little ratchet. As an airplane mechanic, I’ve been using this thing every day for about 4 months now, so it’s been a long time. It has been through a lot of very, very rough treatment. When I use my tools, I’m not very gentle. I’m also not afraid to use this little ratchet on a stubborn bolt when I should be using a much bigger 3/8 drive ratchet, which is much bigger.
The same thing happens every time I think “Oh man, this is going to be the one that breaks it” and I go all in on a stubborn bolt. This thing always comes through. In terms of where it was made and how it was made, I have no idea. But it works.
The way the ratcheting mechanism works is also very easy to work with, though.
