Solidifying its position as a leader in innovation, Snap-on Tools has introduced a 1/4-inch drive, 12-volt Cordless Ratchet – the first cordless ratchet from the company. The new compact power tool allows technicians to quickly remove nuts and bolts without compromising accessibility.

The Cordless Ratchet (CTR2512) provides technicians with power – 35 foot-pounds of torque – and speed (260 rpm) to quickly remove stubborn nuts and bolts. The tool’s heavy-duty motor is circuit protected to help prevent motor burn out. Also, to help keep techs productive, the batteries charge in 25 minutes or less, reducing downtime and increasing profitability.

Built to last, the U.S-assembled ratchet features a beveled spring that distributes force equally, causing less strain on the head of the tool. The head itself is an investment cast that has a non-separation design to increase its durability. To prolong tool life, the ratchet has a built-in grease fitting, to help keep it lubricated. Additionally, the handle of the ratchet features a cushion grip that absorbs vibration and reduces user fatigue, while providing comfort with control.

The 1/4-inch, 12-volt Cordless Ratchet features a compact head design that allows for greater access, even in tight spots, giving technicians the convenience of a hand tool with the torque and speed of a power tool. In addition, the tool’s built-in LED light goes on before the anvil spins, making it easier to see the task at hand when working in more restricted areas.

Customers can find out more about the new 1/4-inch Cordless Ratchet by contacting their local Snap-on representative, visiting www.snapon.com or by calling toll free 877-SNAPON-2 (877-762-7662).
