Power Utility Wrenches
Milwaukee engineered the Lineman’s High-Leverage and 5-in-1 Ratcheting Wrenches from forged steel. They should be extremely durable. Taking that even further, Milwaukee tells us that they’ve included their most durable ratcheting mechanism as well.
All of the Milwaukee Power Utility Wrenches feature a built-in striking surface for hammering. You have the options of either a smooth or milled strike face.
A large directional switch lets you change ratcheting directions without having to take off your gloves. Milwaukee also implements an ergonomic handle to make it comfortable when working with tough bolts and fasteners at height or on the ground.
Speaking of bolts, these Milwaukee Wrenches come with a square drive that accommodates 3/4″, 1″, and 1-1/8″ square sockets. The 5-in-1 Ratcheting Wrench also works with 9/16″ and 3/4″ twelve-point sockets.
