Abstract: A reversible ratchet wrench includes a moveable pawl connected to a handle via a linkage such that the pawl cannot become disengaged from the hand during operation of the wrench. The handle is pivotally attached to housing forming a portion of a head of the wrench, where pivoting of the handle between a first position and a second position switches a position of a pawl between a first position and a second position to thereby change an operating direction of the wrench. A distance of movement of a proximal end of the handle, opposite a head of the wrench, during switching is confined to a limited range by elongating the wrench head and extending a distance between a connection point of the handle to the pawl and the pivotal connection of the handle to the housing.
