EZ Red 3/8" Drive Locking Flex Head Extendable Ratchet (MR38FL)

The EZ Red 3/8" Drive Locking Flex Head Extendable Ratchet (MR38FL) is an essential tool for anyone needing precise and adaptable fastening capabilities. Engineered for broad utility, this ratchet combines several functional innovations to streamline your work, whether you're tackling automotive repairs, home improvement projects, or industrial tasks. Its core design focuses on providing superior access, enhanced leverage, and consistent performance in challenging environments. The ability to extend its length and adjust its head angle makes it an indispensable addition to any toolbox, reducing the need for multiple specialized tools. This ratchet is built to withstand rigorous use, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your equipment for years.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Locking 180° Flex Head: Offers exceptional versatility, allowing the ratchet head to pivot and lock at various angles. This feature is crucial for reaching fasteners in obstructed or tight spaces that traditional fixed-head ratchets cannot access, providing stability once positioned.
• 72-Tooth Drive: Delivers fine ratcheting action with minimal arc swing. This high tooth count means you need less space to move the handle, making it highly effective in confined areas and allowing for quicker, more precise turns.
• Comfort Grip: The ergonomically designed handle provides a secure and comfortable hold, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. This enhances control and allows for more efficient work sessions.
• Extendable Locking Shaft: The shaft extends from 9.84 inches to 13.78 inches, offering additional reach and leverage. The locking mechanism ensures the shaft remains at the desired length during operation, providing stability for applying torque.
• Reversible Action: Allows for easy switching between tightening and loosening fasteners with a simple flick of a switch, enhancing efficiency and eliminating the need to change tools.
• Exceeds ANSI Torque Requirements: This assures that the ratchet is built to high standards of strength and durability, capable of handling significant torque loads without compromising its integrity.
• Low Profile Design: The slim head and body allow the ratchet to fit into narrow gaps and tight clearances, further enhancing its utility in challenging work areas.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Drive Size: 3/8 inch
• Extendable Shaft Length: 9.84 inches to 13.78 inches
• Tooth Count: 72 teeth
• Head Flex Angle: 180 degrees (locking)
• Included in Product: E-Z Red 3/8" Drive Locking Flex Head Extendable Ratchet (MR38FL) unit

HOW TO USE:

1. Select Socket: Choose the correct 3/8" drive socket for the fastener you are working with.
2. Attach Socket: Firmly press the selected socket onto the square drive of the ratchet head.
3. Adjust Flex Head: Press the locking mechanism on the flex head and pivot the head to the desired angle (up to 180 degrees) to best access the fastener. Release the mechanism to lock the head in place.
4. Extend/Retract Shaft (Optional): If more reach or leverage is needed, press the locking button on the shaft and pull or push the handle to extend or retract the shaft to your preferred length. Release the button to lock the shaft.
5. Set Direction: Use the directional switch on the ratchet head to select tightening (clockwise) or loosening (counter-clockwise) action.
6. Apply Torque: Place the socket onto the fastener and apply steady, consistent force to turn the ratchet handle. Utilize the ratcheting action to make multiple turns without removing the socket from the fastener.
7. Remove Socket: Once finished, pull the socket off the drive.
