Full details

This ACDelco Tools 12V Extended Ratchet Wrench is designed for professionals and DIYers tackling jobs in extremely tight, narrow, and awkward spaces. Its primary benefit is providing power and reach where traditional tools cannot. The main caveat is its specialized nature, making it less suitable for general-purpose tasks. Key features include a 6-inch extended head, 52Nm of torque, a 3/8" drive, an LED light, and a comfortable ergonomic grip.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the extended head?

The 6-inch extended neck allows the wrench to reach fasteners in extremely tight, narrow, or awkward spaces where standard tools cannot fit.

What is the maximum torque this wrench can deliver?

The wrench delivers a maximum torque of 52 Nm (approximately 40 ft-lbs).

Is this tool suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications?

While sturdy, it is designed for compact spaces and lighter to moderate fastening tasks. For very heavy-duty applications, a larger impact wrench might be more appropriate.

What type of battery does it use?

It uses ACDelco's G12 Series slim 12V Li-ion battery platform. The kit includes two batteries.

Can I use any 3/8" drive socket with this wrench?

Yes, it is designed to work with standard 3/8" square drive sockets.

How does the electronic brake function?

The electronic brake stops the rotation of the drive head immediately when the trigger is released, enhancing user safety and control.

What is included in the package?

The package typically includes the ratchet wrench, two 12V batteries, one charger, and a socket set.

Troubleshooting

Tool not powering on

Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check battery contacts for dirt or damage.

Low torque or slow operation

Verify the battery is fully charged. Ensure the socket is correctly seated on the fastener and the wrench head. Check for any obstructions around the drive head.

LED light not working

Check battery connection. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Socket not locking securely

Ensure you are using a compatible 3/8" drive socket. Check the socket's retention hole and the wrench's retention mechanism for any debris.
