Abstract: A ratchet wrench with a sleeve on its handle which is rotatable and slidable. The handle is hollow with a spring or spring steel loaded detent extending out through a hole adjacent to the free end of the handle with a threaded cover providing easy access to replace the detent and/or its spring. The sleeve is provided with a plurality of holes to receive the detent for positioning the sleeve. By extending the sleeve, the tool can be employed to increase the amount of torque or leverage to be applied as desired.
