Ratchets
The new Bostitch standard ratchets feature a slim head and require only 5 degrees of arc swing, making getting into confined areas easy and effective. The ratchets feature a 72-tooth gear system which delivers high torque ratcheting and the low profile directional lever allows for quick one-hand operation. The handles are ergonomically designed for comfort during operation.
Sockets
Bostitch sockets are made from premium chrome vanadium steel for extra strength and durability. And unlike many mechanic tools which only have laser etching, which are thin and can wear and fade over time, these Bostitch sockets feature a durable stamped size marking for easy identification, and stamped anti-slip rings provide grip for easy removal.
T-Handle
The unique T-Handle set included in the BTMT72261 with 10 bits allows users to deliver up to 400 inch-pounds of max torque. The handle is ergonomically contoured to provide a comfortable grip. The handle accepts 1/4 inch drive bits for quick and easy bit changes
Hex Keys
The SAE and MM Hex Key sets include the small allen wrench sizes required for tool repairs and component tightening of even the smallest components. The hex keys are stored in well marked and convenient booklets that keep the small tools secure and accessible.
