Ratchet Wrench Heads for TBIH & TBX-12

Quick Answer

Mountz Ratchet Wrench Heads allow compatible TBIH and TBX-12 break-over torque wrenches to apply torque using a ratcheting action. This allows repeated wrench movement without removing and repositioning the head from the fastener after each turn.

The available ratchet configuration depends on the wrench platform:

TBIH: 1/4" female hex ratchet wrench head
TBX-12: 1/4" square-drive reversible ratchet wrench head
TBX-12: 1/4" box-end reversible ratchet wrench head

What Is a Ratchet Wrench Head?

A Ratchet Wrench Head uses a ratcheting mechanism that allows the wrench to be moved back for another tightening stroke without completely removing and repositioning the head.

This can be useful where limited space makes repeated removal and repositioning of a wrench difficult.

Mountz offers interchangeable Ratchet Wrench Heads for both the TBIH and TBX-12 break-over wrench platforms.

TBIH Ratchet Wrench Head

The TBIH Ratchet Wrench Head is an interchangeable 1/4" female hex ratchet head designed for TBIH break-over torque wrenches.

The Mountz product bulletin identifies the ratchet as reversible and states that it accepts compatible insert and power bits. The bulletin also identifies the ratchet mechanism as 6-point with 52 teeth.

Because this bulletin dates to May 2016, verify current item numbers and product specifications on the current product page when ordering.

TBX-12 Ratchet Wrench Head

Mountz offers a 1/4" square-drive reversible Ratchet Wrench Head for TBX-12 break-over torque wrenches.

The square-drive configuration allows the appropriate compatible socket to be used for the fastening application.

TBX-12 Box Ratchet Wrench Head

Mountz also offers a 1/4" box-end reversible ratchet head for the TBX-12.

Unlike the square-drive Ratchet Wrench Head, the Box Ratchet uses an integrated box-end configuration rather than a square drive.

Ratchet Wrench Head Options

Wrench	Ratchet Configuration	Connection
TBIH	Ratchet Wrench Head	1/4" Female Hex
TBX-12	Ratchet Wrench Head	1/4" Square Drive
TBX-12	Box Ratchet Wrench Head	1/4" Box End

These configurations are designed for different fastening interfaces, so select the ratchet head based on both the wrench platform and the required fastener connection.

When to Use a Ratchet Wrench Head

Consider a Ratchet Wrench Head when:

Repeated wrench repositioning is difficult.
The fastening location has limited working space.
A ratcheting action is preferred for the application.
The appropriate ratchet configuration is available for the wrench and fastener.

For TBX-12 applications, determine whether the application requires the square-drive Ratchet Head or Box Ratchet Head before selecting the head.

Selecting a Ratchet Wrench Head

When selecting a Ratchet Wrench Head, consider:

TBIH or TBX-12 wrench compatibility
Required fastening interface
Fastener size
Socket or bit requirements, where applicable
Published specifications for the individual wrench head
Application access

Do not assume that the different Ratchet Wrench Heads are interchangeable between wrench platforms. Select a head specifically identified for the TBIH or TBX-12 being used.

TBIH Ratchet Bits & Adapters

The TBIH Ratchet Wrench Head uses a 1/4" female hex connection.

The Ratchet Head accepts compatible TBIH bits as well as insert and power bits. Mountz also offers Ratchet Head adapters in several configurations, including Hex Head, Slotted Head, Phillips Head, and Reed & Prince adapters.

Maintenance & Inspection

Periodically inspect the Ratchet Wrench Head for wear, damage, or improper operation.

Before use:

Verify that the Ratchet Head is properly installed on the compatible wrench.
Check that the ratcheting mechanism operates correctly.
Inspect the head and fastening interface for visible wear or damage.
Verify that any socket or bit being used is appropriate for the application.
Remove damaged or improperly functioning components from service.

Follow the calibration and maintenance requirements for the TBIH or TBX-12 torque wrench being used.
