Next generation 120XP ratchets for hard to reach fasteners 28 August 2024

Modern cars use smaller and more compact components in the production process, presenting a new challenge for automotive technicians. GEARWRENCH, part of Apex Tool Group LLC, has therefore introduced the next generation of its 120XP ratchets for hard to reach fasteners.

The 120XP ratchets provide unparalleled access through a precision engineered head design that, GEARWRENCH says, is up to 22% more compact than existing ratchets. 

In addition to the more compact head, the 120XP ratchets have a longer handle design for improved reach, leverage and comfort. Two double stacked pawls engage the 60 tooth gears to offer 120 positions that deliver a 3° swing arc to turn fasteners in tighter conditions. 

GEARWRENCH’s 120XP ratchets are offered in ¼ inch, 3/8 inch and ½ inch drives, with extra long handle ratchets, as well as ratchets fitted with standard and flex heads. Sets are also available and the standard head ratchets are available with different handle lengths per drive size. 

“GEARWRENCH introduced the first 120XP ratchet more than a decade ago, and users have trusted and relied on the access advantages offered by the 3° swing arc of the design,” says Chris Coll, product manager at GEARWRENCH. “We want to continue to deliver with that same level of dependability and durability that is expected in the 120XP line, and these ratchets are the ideal combination of performance and value.”
