For reliable torque in tight spaces the 711L EDC flex head ratchet wrench for Leatherman is hard to beat. Its combination of rugged, well engineered design and compact, accurate ratcheting action made it into space on the International Space Station. The flex head design enables you to work in restricted and awkward positions that other tools just can’t reach.
Why did 711L make a flex head EDC ratchet wrench for Leatherman?
We added our flex head EDC ratchet wrench for Leatherman to the 711L EDC tools collection in 2025. Our EDC flex head ratchet wrench was a logical companion to our fixed head EDC ratchet wrench for Leatherman and a response to EDC community requests for added utility and versatility. As EDC fans and participants in the EDC community, we know how useful a flex head EDC ratchet wrench can be.
With a rugged 40Nm torque capability and smooth ratcheting design, our EDC ratchet wrenches were already very popular, and the 711L EDC flex head design became one of our best-selling tools. The combination of quality, high tooth count precision ratcheting, compact size and better access in tight spaces all contributed to the success of our flex head ratchet wrench.
What other EDC tools & accessories for Leatherman do 711L make?

Why are 711L EDC ratchet wrenches for Leatherman rated at 40Nm of torque?
The limiting factor when designing tools for Leatherman that fit into the flat bit holder of a Leatherman multitool is the yield strength of the flat bit holder itself. A safe working limit for the flat bit holder on a Leatherman tool is about 25Nm. We make our EDC ratchet wrenches much tougher than that, but they can also be fitted into any hex handle for a more rugged setup if required.
What are the key features of the 711L EDC flex head ratchet wrench for Leatherman?
All 711L EDC gear is designed and engineered to demonstrate our enthusiasm for ultra high quality, reliable, EDC tools. The 711L EDC flex head ratchet wrench for Leatherman is no exception, and has three key features that make it stand out from low quality copies.
- Excellent quality standards for materials and manufacturing
- High tooth count ratchets for work in enclosed and awkward spaces
- Locking flex head removes slack and maintains precision ratcheting
Engineered from high grade alloys to the highest quality standards
When you get your hands on one of our EDC ratchet wrenches, you might be surprised at how compact it is, but it also still has some weight in it. This is because we only use high grade, high strength steel and aluminum alloys in our EDC tools. Our EDC flex head ratchet wrench for Leatherman is entirely made from high grade steel alloys for strength and durability.
711L EDC high tooth count ratchets work in confined spaces
711L EDC high tooth count ratchets have a clear advantage over the coarse teeth used by our competitors. You get a positive, high strength, ratcheting lock as you work, and the high tooth count enables ratcheting even in very confined spaces where there is very little room to spare. In a tight spot, where standard coarse ratchets can’t be rotated enough to get to the next tooth, your 711L EDC flex head ratchet wrench for Leatherman will keep on working.
Flex head EDC ratchet wrench locking system for precision ratcheting
The 711L EDC flex head ratchet features a spring-loaded detent to lock the mechanism at the desired angle without slipping. This is a common problem with less sophisticated flex head ratchet wrench designs, where the lack of a positive lock causes the head to flex rather than ratchet, and this compounds the limitations of coarse ratchet teeth by increasing the arc required to get the ratchet to progress to the next click.
