Hand Tool Solutions – Industrial Finish Ratchets

When a customer selects a high-quality tool, one often overlooked consideration is the finish of the tool & how it has an impact on the job. While there are several different finishes to choose from, black oxide (industrial finish) is one of the most popular. This finish has five key benefits:

1. Heat Resistance- Black oxide withstands elevated temperatures better than chrome finish.
2. Easier To Grip- Provides better traction when wet, oily, or greasy.
3. Prevent FOD- Black oxide finish hand tools will not chip or peel.
4. Appearance- Matte black finish, reduces glare.
5. Dimensional Impact- Minimal, does not alter the tool dimension.

A variety of our ratchets offer this finish. These ratchets come in a variety of drive sizes, so your customer can find the right ratchet for the job. Sizes include 1/2″ Drive, 3/8″ Drive, and 1/4″ Drive. They are also made with our Dual 80 Technology. This technology offers:
