UK-based Chicago Brand has recently introduced a new range of open end ratchet spanners and a magnet driver – perfectly suited to work with fasteners in many industries.
Chicago Brand states that the RatcheTech large size open end ratchet spanners boast the smallest swing angle on the market and are invaluable when space is limited or a ring ratchet cannot be used. They also eliminate the need to disengage from the fastener or adjust then engage over and over – the user must simply click on and then keeps ratcheting.
Made from true military grade low alloy carbon steel these wrenches are extremely strong and can withstand work in the harshest environments. Designed specifically to save time, RatcheTech are available from 10mm – 100mm and 3/8 inches – 4 inches covered with a lifetime warranty (including moving parts). They are also available in 7 piece metric and imperial sets with flex head, a lifetime warranty and good margins.
Also newly available from Chicago Brand, the magnet driver is an adaptable tool that has revolutionised the magnetic bit. By using the magnet driver a user can instantly turn any screwdriver highly magnetic or adapt to electric drills or impact drivers in seconds. The magnet driver features a powerful magnet within a flexible rubber body that keeps screws perfectly straight, allows for countersinking without damaging the work area, and enables for one handed operation speeding up all screwing tasks.
Colour coded for different screwdriver shanks and bit diameters the magnet driver is suitable for use with very small bits all the way to XXL bits and screwdrivers. Excellent for professional and DIY, Chicago Brand points out that the magnet driver makes working with screws easier, faster and simpler.
This innovative tool is available in sets, individually or in jars perfect for trade counters. Supplied in eye-catching retail packaging customers can see the benefits over standard magnetic bits.
