Facom 1/4" Drive Maintenance Free Pear Head Ratchet with Safety Lock (RL.171) - one of the newly released maintenance free "pear-head" ratchets with safety lock (RL.171, JL.171 and SL.171). The safety lock secures the sockets and drive accessories to the ratchet during use.

• Dust proof, maintenance free mechanism (no repair kits available or required).
• 72 teeth mechanism for 5° increments.
• Drive direction switch allows easy reversal even with gloved or greasy hands.
• Ultra-compact head.
• Hook for hanging when working at height.
• Polished chrome finish
• Ergonomic comfort grip handle design resistant to workshop chemicals and solvents.

Note- the Facom and USAG versions of this ratchet are identical except for the branding. I'll be stocking the USAG version only when my Facom RL.171's are depleted. USAG is less expensive and carries a US warranty.
