Abstract: A ratchet tool includes a ring-shaped head having a toothed member rotatably received therein and a first end of a handle is pivotally inserted in the ring-shaped head. A pawl is connected to the first end of the handle and pivotally engaged with the toothed member. Two springs are received in the ring-shaped head and contact two sides of the handle.

Abstract: A ratchet tool includes a ring-shaped head and a ring member is rotatably received in the ring-shaped head and a toothed outer periphery of the ring member is engaged with a pawl which is movably received in a recess in an inner periphery of the ring-shaped head. A protrusion extends from a top of the pawl and is retained in a notch of a plate from which two rods extend. A positioning ring is engaged with the ring-shaped head and has a slot so that the two rods extend through the slot. A lever has a head which has two holes so as to receive the two rods of the plate. The pawl can be shifted to engage with the ring member by pushing the lever. Two curve surfaces are defined in the two ends of the pawl and one of which is engaged with a curve surface defining the curve recess. The number of contact teeth between the ring member and the pawl is increased.
