Ratchets are an essential tool for car repair projects. When you’re trying to tighten or remove fasteners in small spaces, using a ratchet helps you make it as tight as possible. Capri Tools offers multiple ratchets in different sizes that you can use for large and small car parts. You need a set of ratchets in your toolkit, and Capri Tools offers quality and durability you can count on.
When To Use Your Ratchet
As a mechanic, you’ll use your ratchet a lot. It will likely become one of your most trusty tools, so it’s important to choose an option that’s durable and long-lasting. Ratchets are free-spinning, and their low profile makes them perfect for tight spaces. You can also use flex head ratchets for those difficult fasteners. Use a dual-direction ratchet to loosen and tighten your fasteners.
It’s no secret that taking engines apart and putting them back together isn’t easy. A good ratchet simplifies engine repair by letting you easily adjust hard-to-reach bolts.
The Capri Tools Difference
Many professional and amateur mechanics prefer Capri Tools ratchets because they’re built with function in mind. The ratchet head screws go all the way through the head of the tool, so you know that your ratchets are durable and won’t fall apart if they happen to loosen over time. The heads are sealed to keep out dust and debris. If your ratchet isn’t sealed, dust and buildup can decrease its performance.
Max chrome plating helps make these tools more durable by keeping them free of corrosion. The single pawl makes these ratchets thinner, so you can use them in tight spots. Capri Tools ratchets also offer a 5-degree swing arc. This might seem low, but the ratchets have more teeth, meaning that you don’t need a wide angle for the ratchet to work correctly. Higher tooth counts are ideal for parts where you have a limited range of motion to unscrew your fasteners.
Proper Care
Caring for your ratchets will keep them performing for a long time. Since Capri Tools ratchets are sealed, you won’t have problems with dust and debris. Excessive dirt in a ratcheting mechanism is one of the most common causes of premature wear.
Dirt is abrasive and can wear out parts of the assembly. Listen to the sound your ratchet makes to determine if any of its components are worn out. If it doesn’t make a clean ratcheting sound, check the mechanism to make sure that the seal is still intact. Cleaning your tools after each use and storing them in a dry place also helps keep debris out of the ratcheting mechanism.
