1/4" Set – The Power of Detail
The choice of a 1/4" set is based on the need for fine manipulation. A ratchet of this size usually has 72 teeth, which means that it only needs a 5° rotation to work – ideal for "tight" screws in engines or electrical panels.
Key Advantages:
•CrV material: Chrome Vanadium construction ensures that the sockets will not open or rust, even after years of use.
•Completeness: Most 1/4" sets function as a "workstation" as they include a screwdriver handle that accepts the sockets, turning them into screwdrivers.
•Satin/Mirror finish: The smooth surface allows for easy cleaning of oil and grease with a simple cloth.
•Flank Drive System: The sockets are designed to grip the nut from the sides rather than the corners, preventing the screw from "biting."
