Abstract: A reversible ratchet head assembly includes a reversal actuator which is received in an opening in an output shaft assembly of a tool. The output shaft assembly carries a pawl which pivots on the output shaft assembly between two positions, one permitting driven rotation of an output shaft of the output assembly in a clockwise direction, and the other permitting driven rotation in a counterclockwise direction. In each position, the pawl permits the tool to be turned in the direction opposite the driven direction for ratcheting operation of the tool. When the direction of rotation is reversed in a powered tool, the reversal actuator moves relative to the output shaft assembly and engages the pawl to automatically switch the pawl from one position to the other. The reversal actuator has two spring-biased fingers which alternatively engage the pawl to move it into one position or the other. The ratchet assembly may also be applied to tools which rely on manual reversal of the pawl.
