Ratcheting
Up the Bar in Tool
Development
LINK INTRODUCES
THREE POSITION RATCHETING UNIDRIVER®
LINK
Tools UniDriver®, a solid core universal 1/ 4 inch drive tool
that connects at both ends, has been hailed as one of the most
innovative additions to the world of hand tools in
decades. A
LINK Tools UniDriver combines all the functions of a
speeder, an extension and a screwdriver. Now LINK has
taken the design of the famous UniDriver and ‘ratcheted’ it
one step higher!
The new, all-metal Ratcheting
UniDriver is a key addition to any toolbox because of its ability to ratchet
in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction or to be set to
the neutral position. The Ratcheting
UniDriver can loosen or tighten attachments rapidly and
because of LINK’s patented ‘hand-to-work’promise,
there’s no danger of dropped sockets damaging a machine or
delaying its repair.
When set in the neutral position
this LINK Ratcheting UniDriver can be used with a t-bar
or ratchet handle “plugged” into the top of the handle for
greater torque.
The free rotation of the solid metal shaft with the
handle remaining in a neutral position means the Ratcheting
UniDriver can be hand held with another handle plugged into
the top and guided without any loss of torque during the
process. This unique versatility in a single tool means
significantly greater efficiency, safety and
economy.
Another example of the Ratcheting UniDriver
superiority can be demonstrated when the ratchet and the
ratcheting UniDriver are alternated, forward and back. This results in twice
as much turning power, doubling the output of LINK
tools over conventional tools.
TÜV, Europe’s premier licensing
organization has this to say about its study of LINK
Tools in the workplace; LINK Tools “clearly show a
significant improvement in task performance of the drive
tool system compared to conventional systems.” TÜV added,
“The certainty that the
tools stay attached to each other during use and the ability
to get to hard to reach areas or bolts were specifically cited
among other areas of improved performance in user tests.
The Ratcheting UniDriver retails for $44.99
and can be used with any high quality, branded socket
drive tool.
LINK manufactures complete 41- piece 1/4 inch
and 3/8 inch tool sets with socket bits and standard and
metric sockets.
It also markets an 18 piece 1/4 inch UniDriver
set. The
Ratcheting UniDriver can be obtained in any of the LINK
sets for a slight additional charge. A wide
range of additional accessories which link and lock to each
other as well as other branded tools are also available. The tools can be
ordered by accessing www.link-tools.com
