is this a fixed head or ratchet head if so can the ratchet be reversed

The head is fixed. It of course rotates freely CCW but no torque can be applied.

It is ratchet and if I remember correctly it goes reverse to. I don't have it with me it's at home and I'm at work. Excellent torque wrench, no complaints. I used it to install ARP studs for my engine head.

Ratchet and it can't be reversed. It should only be used to tighten so it doesn't need to be reversed. I've had this wrench for a few years now it's a very nice wrench.

This is a ratchet head and it is not reversible - only tightens clockwise. Most of the torque wrenches are not designed to be used to loosen fasteners....even the fixed head wrenches.

NO, it does not. You can put it in reverse and it will ratchet properly in 'reverse', but it will not sense torque and click for left-handed (reverse) threads without taking the unit apart and reversing the head. See my review.

Yes, it is reversible. I use this tool almost daily for a few years now. Everyone in the shop wants to borrow it.

Yes, this winch does ratchet both ways. The ratcheting both ways was an option that I needed.

Righty tighty lefty loosy. It has a selector knob for the direction you want to turn it. Or center for no rachet.

Yes, you can unscrew the head and mount any standard head to it. I don't remember the bolt/thread size, but it is standard.

The driver shank pulls free from the handle and is reversible. One side is able to receive double sided 5/16" screwdriver bits. The other has a 3/8" reversible adapter that accepts 1/4" double sided bits on each end. Note: This driver is not magnetized. All bits must have tension bearings to stay in place... Damn annoying. Thoughts: I'm close to jbwelding the adapter in place, then jbwelding a standard magnetized bit tip holder in that, BUT, to still be able to reverse the shank, I'd have to cut a total of 3/4" out between the adapter and the bit receiver... It would be close, and you couldn't reverse it with a bit in the receiver. Wish this took standard tips. I WISH I'D BOUGHT: Bahco 808050, or the real Snap On ratcheting screwdriver (item SSDMR4BO)

There is a tab on the head that can select ratchet operation for either left or right hand thread (or simply locks it). Note that the wrench should always be stored with the torque set at the lowest specified value to retain calibration. I've been very happy with the several that I own, but also note that there are several basic torque scales available (ft-lb, in-lb, Nm, etc.) so make sure to select the most convenient scale or you will have to translate units.

Yes. The ratcheting head will allow you to loosen fasteners by hand and the remove them with the electrics. You can also tighten fasteners tighter than what the motor can using the same principle

hi there all u have to do is turn the top of the ratchet head clockwise or counterclockwise to tighten the bolt or un tighten the bolt but use the required socket to complete the job

It does not come with a ratchet on the left stick. You can tighten from the back if you would like it to ratchet.

No. The different bits fit into the ends of cylinders and are pulled out and reversed as needed.

Yes, it is reversable. It comes with a n Allen wrench to loosen a set-screw allowing you to reverse the handle. I had to do this to several of the dozen or so handles that I just installed.

Yes this unit has a forward and reverse motion so that you can unscrew and screw flat head and phillip head screws. the motion switch is located on top of the power unit.

Correction: It is screwed on normally, but has the twist tip head which seems to be getting loose through usage.

Yes! It ratchets from a flat position, pointing straight up (zero degrees) to a vertical position (90 degrees) in increments of approx 10-15 degrees. I count 8 fixed ratchet positions between 0 and 90. The picture of the fan in the ad is at approx 80 degrees.

No reverse.You have to release the forward drive lever and then push slightly forward to disengage the drive system, then pull back manually. That works ok but the machine is fairly heavy for a lot of backing.
