Kent Tooling RATCHET REEL + 40MM SINGLE HANDLE
It is possible to use the reel in either free-spool or ratchet mode:
- To get free-spool mode, you lock the trigger in the "down" position using the spring-loaded pin on the side of the trigger by rotating the black knob, and clicking into place in the deeper slots on the castellation.
- To put it back into ratchet mode, you simply do the reverse, the pin clicking into the shallow slots of the castellation.
The backplate of the composite reel is made from a very strong composite material instead of 316 Stainless Steel. All other components are 316 Stainless Steel providing the same level of quality.
The use of a composite material reduces the weight by just under 400g making it ideal as a "travel" reel whenever weight is an issue.
