Unleash 75 ft-lbs Breakaway Torque with This DEWALT Ratchet!

What happens here

For extremely tight fasteners that may exceed the electric motor's initial breakaway torque, the demonstrator highlights a crucial feature: the ability to manually apply additional force. Users can manually pull up to 170 foot-pounds on the ratchet to 'break something free.' This allows DIYers to overcome very stubborn connections without needing a separate manual breaker bar, enhancing the versatility of the tool.

Goal: Recognize the manual torque limit for breaking free fasteners.
