Britool Hallmark MR200FTB 3/8 Drive 72 Tooth Pear Head Ratchet V3 175mm

The Britool Hallmark MR200FTB 3/8" Drive Fine Tooth Pear Head Ratchet is the latest V3 version of this popular professional ratchet, combining a compact pear-head design with a fine 72-tooth mechanism, 5° working arc and full steel handle.

At approximately 175mm overall length, the MR200FTB provides a useful balance between reach, leverage and manoeuvrability, making it an excellent general-purpose 3/8" drive ratchet for professional automotive, mechanical, engineering and workshop applications.

The fine-tooth mechanism requires as little as 5° of handle movement between engagement positions, making the ratchet particularly useful when working in confined areas where surrounding components restrict the available working arc.

A safety socket release button provides convenient socket changing and positive retention, while the directional change lever allows straightforward switching between tightening and loosening operations.

Finished in high-polished chrome with the latest Britool Hallmark branding, the MR200FTB combines traditional full-steel ratchet construction with a modern fine-tooth mechanism.

72-Tooth Fine Ratchet Mechanism

The MR200FTB incorporates a professional 72-tooth fine ratchet mechanism.

With 72 engagement positions around the mechanism, the ratchet requires only approximately 5° of handle movement between engagements.

This reduced working arc provides a significant advantage when operating in confined areas where there may not be enough space to move a conventional coarse-tooth ratchet through a larger angle.

The fine mechanism makes the MR200FTB particularly useful around vehicle engine bays, mechanical assemblies, machinery and other restricted-access areas.

3/8" Square Drive

The popular 3/8" square drive format provides an excellent balance between compact dimensions and general workshop versatility.

The MR200FTB can be used with compatible 3/8" drive hand sockets and accessories, making it suitable for a broad range of automotive and mechanical fastening applications.

The 3/8" drive format is particularly useful for general servicing work where a 1/4" drive may be too small but the additional size of a 1/2" drive ratchet is unnecessary.

Safety Socket Release Button

The ratchet incorporates a safety socket release button, providing convenient socket changing while helping positively retain compatible sockets during normal use.

Pressing the release mechanism allows the fitted socket or accessory to be removed from the square drive when required.

This feature can be particularly convenient in a professional workshop where socket sizes are changed frequently during servicing and repair work.

Directional Change Lever

A conveniently positioned directional change lever allows the ratchet direction to be switched between tightening and loosening operations.

This allows the user to change direction without removing the ratchet from the fastener, helping improve efficiency when working in confined areas.

Full Steel Handle

The MR200FTB features a full steel handle, providing the traditional solid construction associated with professional workshop ratchets.

The ratchet is finished in high-polished chrome, providing a professional appearance while helping protect the external steel surfaces during normal workshop use.

The latest Britool Hallmark branding clearly identifies this as the current V3 version of the ratchet.

Approximately 175mm Overall Length

At approximately 175mm long, the MR200FTB is compact enough for many restricted-access applications while still providing useful handle length for everyday 3/8" drive work.

This makes it particularly suitable as a general-purpose ratchet for mechanics and technicians who require a versatile tool for regular servicing and repair applications.

Professional Automotive & Workshop Applications

The combination of a 3/8" drive, 72-tooth mechanism and compact 175mm overall length makes the MR200FTB suitable for applications including:

• Automotive servicing and repairs
• Engine bay maintenance
• Engine and drivetrain work
• Vehicle mechanical repairs
• Motorcycle maintenance
• Mechanical engineering
• Machinery servicing
• Industrial maintenance
• Professional garages
• Fleet workshops
• Engineering workshops
• General workshop applications

Matching 1/4" & 1/2" Drive Ratchets Available

This V3 fine-tooth ratchet design is also available in other popular square drive sizes.

The matching models are:

• SR150FTB – 1/4" Square Drive
• LR250FTB – 1/2" Square Drive

This allows professional users to build a matching collection of Britool Hallmark fine-tooth ratchets covering the three principal workshop square drive sizes.

Available as a 3-Piece Ratchet Set

The MR200FTB is also available as part of the Britool Hallmark HMRSET3 3-Piece Ratchet Set.

The HMRSET3 combines the matching 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" drive ratchets together in dedicated Tool Control EVA foam, providing organised storage within a professional toolbox or roll-cab drawer.

Dedicated Repair Kit Available

A dedicated full service repair kit is available separately for the MR200FTB when required.

Repair kit reference:

MR2100FTB/RK

The availability of a model-specific service kit allows the internal ratchet mechanism to be serviced when appropriate rather than automatically replacing the complete ratchet.

It is important to purchase the repair kit specifically intended for the MR200FTB V3 ratchet, as repair kits for earlier Britool ratchet designs are not necessarily interchangeable.
