Scaffolding Ratchets

Scaffolding ratchets are double-ended wrenches with two jaw sizes on each tool. They are used to tighten scaffold couplers. Sizes range from 17 mm to 41 mm. Choose the version that fits your couplers. Check the number of teeth for finer ratcheting. A longer handle gives more leverage. Choose chrome-vanadium steel for heavy duty.

Scaffolding Ratchets: Sizes and Versions

Which size do you need?

Scaffolding ratchets are double-ended. Each piece has two across flats. Sizes range from 17 to 41 mm. Measure the coupler on your scaffold tube. Choose the version that fits exactly. A loose wrench will damage the coupler.

What to consider when ordering?

The number of teeth determines the fineness of the ratchet. More teeth give a smaller step per movement. That works well in tight spaces. A long handle gives more leverage. You can tighten heavier couplers without extra force.

Which material is suitable?

Choose chrome-vanadium steel for long use. This steel is strong and does not deform quickly. It withstands the forces on site. Check that the ratchet has a fine switching mechanism. That way you work safely and efficiently.

These scaffolding ratchets sit under ratchets and form a separate group alongside reversible ratchets. For hard-to-reach nuts on the scaffold frame you choose a special ratchet. If a ratchet wears out, you restore it with a repair set.
