Origin
This solution was developed to eliminate a major frustration for users: having to choose between speed and power in a ratchet. Traditionally, techs faced two options: either a small, fast ratchet that couldn’t deliver enough torque, or a high-torque ratchet that was slower and bulkier. We combined both in one solution, so now users no longer have to compromise. On top of that, the modular trigger system gives users ultimate flexibility — no need to pick just one trigger style when they can have them all.
