Snap-on CTR825DB and CTR827DB: 14.4 Volt MicroLithium 1/4″ cordless ratchet
The Snap-on CTR825DB and CTR827DB are 14.4 Volt MicroLithium cordless ratchets with a 1/4″ drive square and a brushless motor. Designed for professionals who want to work faster, more efficiently and more productively, even in places where other cordless ratchets or impact wrenches cannot fit.
Every second counts in the workshop. Tasks that take a long time to do by hand can be completed much faster with the right cordless ratchet. The CTR825DB and CTR827DB are Snap-on’s answer to the demand for compact, powerful and durable cordless tools.
Both models are equipped with a brushless motor. This means less friction, less heat generation and a significantly longer service life compared to conventional brushed motors. The motor only consumes power when it is actually needed, which means the battery lasts longer per charge.
The over- and under-temperature protection also ensures that the tool continues to work efficiently even during intensive use. The system recognises thermal overload and automatically adjusts the power without the user having to do anything.
54 Nm torque and 400 RPM for fast loosening
With a powerful torque of 54 Nm and an unloaded speed of 400 RPM, the cordless tool loosens and tightens fasteners quickly and effectively. The power is sufficient for the vast majority of tasks that occur in everyday workshop practice.
The digital variable speed control gives the user optimum control. Press lightly for precision work in confined spaces, press fully to quickly loosen fasteners one after the other. No fixed speeds, but exactly what the situation requires.
Integrated LED ring for perfect workplace lighting
The built-in bright LED ring illuminates the working area directly around the fastening point. Indispensable when working in engine compartments, under dashboards or in other places where ambient light is insufficient.
The Soft Grip handle ensures a firm grip at any angle, even with greasy or wet hands. The handle is shaped to optimise the balance of the tool. This reduces wrist and hand fatigue, even during prolonged use.
Two models for every situation
The large forward/reverse button makes it easy to change the direction of rotation, even when wearing gloves. The battery indicator provides continuous insight into the remaining power, so there are no unexpected stoppages at the wrong moment.
The CTR825DB is the standard version and the CTR827DB has an extended head for better accessibility in hard-to-reach places. Both models are available in four versions: Red, Green, Gun Metal Grey and Hi-Visibility. Both are supplied as separate units, without battery and charger, and are suitable for use with existing Snap-on 14.4 Volt MicroLitium batteries.

Built for professional use
The CTR825DB and CTR827DB are ideally suited for work where space is limited: work on chassis, engine management systems, air conditioning systems, interior components and all other applications where a 1/4″ ratchet is the appropriate choice. The CTR827DB with its extended head offers additional reach in places where the standard version cannot reach.
Snap-on Tools designs tools for professionals who make no compromises when it comes to quality, durability and performance. The CTR825DB and CTR827DB have been developed based on decades of workshop expertise and meet the high standards that Snap-on sets for all its tools. The 14.4-volt MicroLithium platform offers compatibility with a wide range of Snap-on cordless tools, ensuring that the investment can be used for a variety of tasks in the workshop.
