Beta 1/4" ratchets and male square drives

This category includes Beta 1/4" reversible ratchets, male square drives, joints, adaptors, handles and spare kits for the 900 socket range. It is intended for small fasteners, light maintenance, mechanical electronics, motorcycles, car interiors and work where a larger drive would be too bulky.

The 1/4" drive favours control and access in confined spaces rather than high force. Check length, handle style, tooth count, take-up angle and compatibility with Beta 900 sockets. For higher load work move to 3/8" or 1/2"; for controlled torque use a torque wrench.

Question: is a 1/4" ratchet suitable for heavy work?
Answer: no, it is best for small fasteners and restricted access.

Question: can I use it with 3/8" sockets?
Answer: only with suitable adaptors; for frequent use choose the correct drive size directly.
