Draper Expert Soft Grip Reversible Ratchet, 1/4" Sq. Dr., 72 Tooth

Smooth, precise, and built to professional standards — the Draper Expert 72-Tooth Soft Grip Reversible Ratchet (B72C/SG) is a premium 1/4" square drive ratchet engineered for detailed, precision-focused work where a fine tooth count, confident directional control, and comfortable handling make a genuine difference to the quality and efficiency of the job.

72-Tooth Mechanism for Smooth, Precise Operation

The 72-tooth ratchet mechanism delivers a fine 5° engagement arc between each tooth — one of the highest tooth counts available in the 1/4" drive ratchet category and a significant step up from the 24 and 36-tooth mechanisms found in entry and mid-level alternatives. In practical terms, 5° of movement between engagements means the ratchet can advance a fastener meaningfully with minimal arc swing — allowing productive use in tight spaces where larger movements simply are not possible, and delivering a notably smoother, more refined ratcheting action throughout normal use.

For precision work on electronics, small engine components, instrumentation, automotive trim, and detailed mechanical assemblies — where 1/4" drive is the natural choice — the 72-tooth mechanism of the B72C/SG provides the fine control and smooth operation that the work demands.

Quick Release Button for Efficient Socket Changes

A quick release button on the drive head enables fast, confident one-handed socket changes throughout the job — keeping workflow efficient and the ratchet securely in hand without the need to pry sockets free manually. On a 1/4" drive ratchet used for detailed work involving frequent size changes across a range of small sockets, the quick release is a practical everyday feature that meaningfully speeds up the working process.

Chrome Vanadium Steel — Hardened, Tempered and Micro Satin Finished

The head and shaft of the B72C/SG are manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, hardened and tempered for the long-term strength and durability expected from a professional-grade ratchet used regularly across a wide range of 1/4" drive applications. A micro satin finish provides reliable corrosion resistance alongside a refined, low-glare surface appearance — practical in brightly lit workshop environments and more resistant to fingerprinting and light surface contamination than standard polished chrome alternatives throughout everyday use.

Soft Grip Handle for Comfort and Control

The soft grip handle provides comfortable, cushioned handling during extended use — reducing hand fatigue during detailed or repetitive work sessions and maintaining confident, precise tool control throughout. On a 1/4" drive ratchet where fine control and tactile feedback are particularly important for precision fastening applications, the soft grip delivers the handling quality and comfort that professional use demands.

Manufactured to DIN3122 and ISO3315 Standards

The B72C/SG is manufactured and tested generally in accordance with DIN3122 and ISO3315 specifications — internationally recognised standards for ratchet handle construction and performance, providing professional users with confidence in the quality, consistency, and reliability of the tool.
