Ratchet wrench NEO tools 3/8" straight, 45 teeth, 200 mm

Straight 3/8" ratchet wrench by NEO tools, 45 teeth, 200 mm length. This hand tool combines a compact straight profile with a fine 45-tooth ratchet mechanism to enable small incremental movements and controlled torque application in confined work areas. The 3/8" square drive couples with matching sockets to perform tightening and loosening tasks across automotive maintenance, mechanical repair and assembly operations.

Advantages

The 45-tooth mechanism reduces the swing arc required to engage the next tooth, allowing work in tight spaces with minimal handle movement. A 200 mm overall length balances reach and accessibility, giving good leverage while remaining maneuverable. The straight design provides a direct line of drive for sockets and is suitable for use with extension bars or universal joints. Constructed for repeated workshop use, it supports reliable socket coupling and consistent ratcheting action.

Suitable for

• Automotive maintenance and light vehicle repair
• Mechanical assembly and disassembly where space is limited
• Precision tightening tasks requiring small incremental turns
• General workshop and home repair projects involving sockets

Key specifications

• Drive size: 3/8" square
• Ratcheting mechanism: 45 teeth for fine indexing
• Overall length: 200 mm
• Type: straight ratchet wrench
• Compatibility: designed for standard 3/8" sockets and accessories

How to use

Select a matching 3/8" socket and press it onto the square drive until it engages. Set the ratchet direction according to the required action (tighten or loosen) and use short, controlled handle movements to turn fasteners; the 45-tooth mechanism permits engagement with minimal swing. For recessed or awkward fasteners, combine the wrench with extensions or universal joints as needed. Apply steady, controlled force and avoid sudden impacts to maintain the mechanism's longevity.

Usage recommendations

Maintain the ratchet by keeping the drive and mechanism clean and occasionally lubricated with a light machine oil. Inspect the socket connection before each use to ensure secure coupling. Use appropriate torque procedures for critical fasteners; when higher torque is required, consider using a longer handle or a torque wrench designed for calibrated settings.
