Extra-Long 280mm Handle for Increased Leverage
The MR280 features an extra-long 280mm handle, providing greater mechanical leverage than a conventional shorter 3/8" drive ratchet.
The increased handle length allows additional turning force to be applied with less effort, making it particularly useful when loosening tight fasteners or working on more demanding mechanical assemblies.
Its extended length also provides additional reach when accessing recessed or awkwardly positioned nuts and bolts.
Heavy-Duty 45-Tooth Ratchet Mechanism
Unlike fine-tooth ratchets that prioritise a smaller working arc, the MR280 incorporates a robust 45-tooth mechanism designed to accommodate higher torque loads.
The mechanism provides an approximately 8° working arc, offering a practical balance between strength and everyday usability.
This makes the MR280 particularly suitable for mechanics who require a strong, dependable ratchet for regular workshop applications.
Reinforced Pear-Head Design
The ratchet features a strong pear-head design, engineered to provide increased strength compared with traditional ratchet head styles.
According to the product specification, this design offers up to 30% more torque, making it particularly useful for demanding fastening applications.
The pear-head construction also provides a practical and familiar design for professional mechanics and technicians.
Reversible Ratchet Mechanism
The reversible mechanism allows the operating direction to be changed between tightening and loosening without changing tools.
This makes the MR280 a practical everyday ratchet for automotive servicing, mechanical maintenance and general workshop repairs.
Push-Button Safety Socket Release
A convenient push-button safety socket release helps securely retain the socket on the 3/8" square drive during use.
When a different socket size is required, pressing the release button allows the socket to be removed quickly and conveniently.
This provides both secure socket retention and efficient socket changes during regular workshop work.
