Ratchet 1/4" Pear Head Reversible BAHCO SB6950QR — 60 Teeth, 6° Action, 145 mm

BAHCO Ratchet 1/4" Pear Head Reversible SB6950QR is a compact 145 mm ratchet with a pear-shaped head and a single 1/4" square drive. Its 60-tooth mechanism and 6° action angle provide precise incremental turning, while the quick-release function and direction-change lever enable fast, safe socket changes. The tool is finished in nickel and matte chrome and manufactured from high-quality chromium-vanadium steel for durability.

Advantages

The ratchet combines a fine 6° swing with a 60-tooth gear for accurate control in tight spaces. A quick-release mechanism secures sockets reliably and allows one-handed removal, while the reversible head with an easy-change lever speeds up work that requires frequent direction changes. The two-component non-slip handle improves grip and includes a hanging hole for convenient storage.

Suitable for

• Automotive repair and maintenance in confined engine bays or undercarriage areas
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly where fine incremental movement is required
• General workshop and household maintenance tasks involving 1/4" sockets

When it may not be suitable

The 1/4" drive and compact 145 mm length make this ratchet ideal for light to medium torque tasks but not suitable for heavy-duty jobs requiring larger drives or high torque. It is not intended as a substitute for impact-rated tools or for applications that exceed the mechanical limits of hand ratchets.

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/4" (square)
• Head style: pear-shaped (reversible)
• Length: 145 mm
• Tooth count: 60 teeth
• Action angle: 6°
• Material: chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel
• Finish: nickel and matte chrome
• Handle: two-component non-slip handle with hanging hole
• Quick-release mechanism and direction-change lever on head

How to use

Select the correct 1/4" socket for the fastener and attach it to the ratchet until the quick-release locks the socket in place. Use the direction-change lever on the head to set clockwise or counterclockwise operation. Operate the ratchet with short strokes to take advantage of the 6° action angle in confined spaces. Press the quick-release to remove the socket when finished and store the tool by hanging or placing it in a tool tray.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure a 1/4" drive size is compatible with your socket set and the torque requirements of your tasks
• For heavy torque or impact applications, consider larger or impact-rated tools instead
• Check available clearance where you will work to confirm the 145 mm length is appropriate

Usage recommendations

Use the ratchet with hand-applied torque within typical hand tool limits, avoid using with impact tools, and keep the quick-release mechanism clean of debris to maintain reliable socket retention.
