Product Overview
The SATA11981 1/4" Dr. VDE Insulated Reversible Ratchet is a professional-grade insulated ratchet built for electricians and technicians who need to drive sockets safely on or near live circuits. Each unit is individually tested to 10,000 volts and certified to the IEC/EN 60900 international standard for live working up to 1000V. The ratchet reverses direction with a single hand for effortless switching between tightening and loosening, and its quick-release mechanism ejects an engaged socket with one-hand operation. At 145mm long, it's compact enough for close-quarters electrical work while still providing a secure, comfortable grip.
