What is a palm twist ratchet best used for?
It’s ideal for low torque tasks like assembly work, quick fastening in tight spaces, and running nuts and bolts up or down once they’re started.
Does this ratchet work in both directions?
Yes, each palm ratchet has a two-way mechanism so you can tighten or loosen by switching direction using the rotation button.
How does the socket stay attached to the drive?
The square drives use spring-loaded ball bearings which help retain the socket securely during use while still allowing easy socket changes.
Is the body compact enough for confined areas?
Yes, the ratchets have a compact 38mm diameter body, making them useful where a standard ratchet handle won’t fit comfortably.

Yes, when paired with the correct socket type, they can be used on a wide variety of hex head fasteners for light-duty work.
