Description
A ratchet is a hand-held tool commonly used for turning bolts and nuts. It consists of a handle with a socket that fits over the head of a bolt or nut. Ratchets have a mechanism that allows the socket to turn in one direction and lock in place when turned in the opposite direction. This allows the user to apply torque to the bolt or nut in a controlled and efficient manner. Ratchets come in different sizes and shapes, with variations including drive sizes and socket sets. They are commonly used in automotive repair, construction, and other mechanical applications that require precise tightening or loosening of bolts and nuts.
