Based in Germany, Wera is one of the world's leading manufacturers of quality tools and was voted one of the five most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany, across all industries. Quality and innovation is what Wera lives for. The unique pivoting head on these ratchets lock in five different positions for ease of use in tight spaces. (This also gives you five ratchets in one!) The ratchet function features a fine-pitched 72-tooth design for a precise 5° of movement. And special design creates 40% more torque than a standard ratchet. The size, weight and balance allows for speed ratcheting. The three-component handle design was created with hard and soft zones to reduce fatigue and slips while allowing for maximum grip. Think of a piece of clay in your hand, molded to your fingers and palm. You get the idea. The 1/4" ratchet is 6" long, 3/8" ratchet is 7 1/2" long and the 1/2" ratchet is 10 1/2" long. German design and ingenuity at it's best from Wera. Designed in Germany and built in the Czech Republic.
