Ratchet spanners GN 316 are robust, easy to handle and have an appropriate and attractive design.

Ratchet spanners are normally used wherever the same ratchet insert is always required or where it makes sense to leave the ratchet spanner at the place of use or attach it to equipment or machinery as a "stationary" tool. Various different versions of ratchet insert are available and these can be exchanged as required by loosening the retaining screw and removing the cover plate.

The ratchet action is deactivated when the reversing lever is in the locked position (central position), allowing torque to be applied in both directions.
