GEARWRENCH launches newly designed 120XP Ratchets 30 May 2024

As the mechanics of cars evolve, GEARWRENCH is elevating access under the hood with its reinvented 120XP Ratchets.

Modern cars use smaller and more compact components in the production process, presenting a new challenge for automotive technicians trying to access already hard to reach fasteners. The next generation of 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 confines.

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

“GEARWRENCH introduced the initial 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 120XP ratchet 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.”
