Bought this Beta ratchet when I replaced my RT stock seat with a new comfort seat with backrest.
It is perfect for those tight spots that leaves you with just a small amount of handle movement. Get it loose and the just twist the handle for the rest.:2thumbs:

A great tool. I use my air rachet for those tight spots. Bruce

It sure is Bruce.
I only have a small air compressor for the tyres in my garage, but used those air ratchets a lot when I was a working man. (Harbour crane operator and maintenance)

Wow…..haven’t seen one of those before……how clever is that…..I can immediately think of 2 accessory installs where that would have been invaluable…….thanks Norwegian:thumbup:

I found a tool with a bit different approach but to the same end, here: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/vse-vms-transcoding-artifact-us-east-1-prod/v2/a954a22c-cc1e-550d-b58d-3f6de6b5f1cd/ShortForm-Generic-480p-16-9-1409173089793-rpcbe5.mp4

Yup, that will do as well. Link saved and sent it to a buddy who just needs to have the coolest tools :thumbup:

Here's a similar one. I've had one like this for years. Really handy in the right situation.

I hope the picture worked. I have taken my seat off twice to install a backrest. A right angle cordless adapter worked great.

That one looks clever aswell. neat for those tight spots where you only get a cpl of "clicks" on a normal ratchet :thumbup:

Nice one, that would be perfect at the end of my cordless drill :2thumbs:

Here's one of my favorite tools similar to that, but no twisting required:

I have two of those in different sizes. My smaller one worked wonders when I had to remove/replace my seat for installing arms rests on my 2018 RT.
