3/8" Drive Extending Ratchet with Locking Flex-Head – Britool Hallmark MREF250
Professional 72-Tooth Telescopic Ratchet – Extends from 246mm to 346mm
The Britool Hallmark MREF250 3/8" Drive Extending Ratchet Wrench with Locking Flex-Head is a professional-quality ratchet combining an adjustable telescopic handle, 180° pivoting head and fine 72-tooth mechanism for exceptional versatility in automotive, mechanical and workshop applications.
The extending handle adjusts from 246mm to 346mm, allowing the ratchet to be used at a shorter length for improved control and accessibility or extended when additional leverage and reach are required.
A versatile 180° flex-head locks into 10 different positions, allowing the handle to be positioned at the most practical working angle while remaining securely locked during use.
Combined with a 72-tooth fine ratchet mechanism requiring just 5° of movement and a convenient push-button safety socket release, the MREF250 is an excellent all-round 3/8" drive ratchet for professional mechanics and technicians.

Extending 246–346mm Telescopic Handle
The MREF250 features an adjustable handle that extends from 246mm to 346mm, giving the user the flexibility to alter the length of the ratchet according to the job.
At its shorter 246mm length, the ratchet provides improved manoeuvrability and control for general fastening applications.
When additional leverage or reach is required, the handle can be extended up to 346mm.
The additional handle length increases mechanical leverage, allowing greater turning force to be applied with less effort compared with using the ratchet in its fully retracted position.
180° Locking Flex-Head with 10 Positions
The ratchet head pivots through an impressive 180° range and can be securely locked into 10 different positions.
This allows the handle to be positioned at a more convenient angle when working around obstructions or accessing fasteners that cannot easily be reached with a conventional fixed-head ratchet.
The locking mechanism also provides greater control than a free-moving flex-head by holding the selected head angle securely during use.
This makes the MREF250 particularly useful when working around engine components, brake assemblies, suspension systems and other confined mechanical areas.
72-Tooth Fine Ratchet Mechanism
The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism requires just 5° of handle movement between engagements.
A small working arc is especially useful when space around the fastener is restricted, as the ratchet does not require a large handle swing before the next tooth engages.
Combined with the adjustable flex-head, the fine-tooth mechanism makes the MREF250 particularly effective for awkward and restricted fastener locations.
Push-Button Safety Socket Release
A convenient push-button safety socket release securely retains the socket on the 3/8" square drive during use.
When a different socket size is required, simply press the release button to quickly remove and replace the socket.
This combination of secure retention and fast socket changes is particularly useful during everyday professional servicing and repair work.
Versatile 3/8" Drive Format
The 3/8" square drive provides an excellent balance between the compact dimensions of a 1/4" drive tool and the higher-load capability of a larger 1/2" drive ratchet.
This makes the MREF250 particularly versatile for automotive servicing, where a wide range of medium-sized fasteners may need to be accessed in restricted locations.
