The AirCraft AT0016-36 D-Type Head is a replacement drive head component for the AirCraft Air Ratchet Wrench (AT0016 series). It forms part of the ratchet head\/output assembly, supporting correct alignment, secure engagement and smooth rotation under load. If the head becomes worn, damaged at the locating features, or develops excessive play, you can get wobble, inconsistent engagement and accelerated wear in the ratchet mechanism. Replacing the D-type head restores proper fit and helps the tool deliver clean, reliable performance again.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"definition-products\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirCraft replacement drive head for stable output and consistent engagement\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n  Drive heads carry load and alignment at the output.
