The ZT79 Ratcheting Hydrant Wrench

The ZT79 pairs a chrome hydrant socket with a 19.75 in. ratchet wrench, so you can crank hydrant nuts by hand instead of resetting a fixed wrench every quarter turn. It fits pentagon nuts up to 1.75 in. and weighs 7.25 lb. The socket also attaches to the Zak Halligan tools (ZT40 and ZT41) for extra leverage on a stubborn hydrant.
