In this design, the shift lever is separate from the pawl. This prevents the ratchet from switching gears unintentionally.

When ‘ratcheting’, the shift lever does not move. The user can hold the ratchet head firmly with their hand without blocking the ratchet mechanism.

Why is this important?

• The freewheel function gives you greater control whilst working and reduces the risk of accidental operation in confined or delicate situations.

By the way:

All HAZET HiPer (HP) reversible ratchets feature the free-wheel function.
