The DEWALT DWMT81097 3/8-inch drive quick-release ratchet is a shop essential that earns its place in any toolbox. Its 5-degree arc swing lets you work in tight engine bays and behind panels where a bulky ratchet won’t fit. With a 72-tooth gear system, it delivers smooth, strong ratcheting in a low-profile head.
The ratchet is built from chrome vanadium steel for strength and durability, and the contoured handle has anti-slip grooves for control even when your hands are sweaty or greasy. The quick-release button gives you positive socket locking and one-hand socket changes.
This 3/8-inch drive ratchet is the SAE model, built to pair with standard (SAE) 3/8-inch drive sockets. It meets or exceeds ANSI/ASME standards, so it’s ready for daily use in the garage, driveway, or jobsite.

Few hand tools get used as often as a good ratchet. The DWMT81097 keeps your hand comfortable and your socket secure, whether you’re changing spark plugs, installing brackets, or bolting down equipment.
With 72 teeth, the ratchet engages every 5 degrees. That means you don’t have to swing the handle as far to catch the next tooth, which is a huge advantage when clearance is short.
Press the button and swap sockets without grabbing the socket. It’s a small feature that saves time on every job.
This SAE ratchet is designed for SAE socket sets. Keep a set of standard sockets nearby and pair them with the DWMT81097 for smooth turning all day.
It locks the socket securely on the anvil and lets you release it with one press instead of pulling.
Yes, the 3/8-inch drive will accept both SAE and metric 3/8-inch drive sockets. The SAE designation refers to the tool's sizing system and standard markings, but socket compatibility is drive-size based.
The 72-tooth gear provides smooth, high-torque ratcheting, but the actual torque depends on the socket and fastener. It meets ANSI/ASME durability standards.
Yes, the 5-degree arc swing and slim head make it ideal for tight engine compartments.
Use the low-profile directional lever above the head.




Smooth ratchet.
The 5-degree arc is great for tight spaces. It feels solid in the hand.
I bought this for my toolbox and it's my go-to ratchet now. The teeth are fine and the mechanism is smooth. The quick release works well. The handle is slightly thin, but it's comfortable. Good value for the money.
I use this every day at work. It has a nice feel and the 72 teeth make a difference. Never skipped a gear.
It's a good ratchet. The quick release is handy. But the handle could be a bit longer.
Solid ratchet, great price. It feels like a quality tool.
I have small hands and this ratchet fits me well. The handle is slim, but it doesn't slip. It works great in tight engine bays. I'm happy with it.
I've been a mechanic for 25 years and this is as good as some of my Snap-on ratchets. The finish is nice and the action is tight. I like the quick release. It's a bargain.
It does the job, but the handle feels a bit cheap. The mechanism is okay. I'll probably upgrade later.
