Reversible ratchet with 3/8 inch drive, insulated to IEC 60900, 190 mm - Knipex 98 31

Terminal positions inside a control cabinet rarely leave much room for the swing, and the socket must not drop off when the tool is pulled back. The 98 31 reversible ratchet answers this with an extremely smooth action and a spring-loaded ball that keeps the socket on the 190 mm long tool.

• Quick, safe and easy locking of the attached tool thanks to the spring-loaded ball.
