Abstract: A ratcheting tool includes a handle and a head extending from the handle. The handle includes a compartment communicated with a hole of the head. A drive member is rotatably mounted in the hole of the head and includes teeth on an outer periphery thereof. A pawl is slidably mounted in the compartment of the handle. The pawl includes teeth on a side thereof for engaging with the teeth of the drive member. An anchor is mounted in the compartment of the head. An elastic element is attached between the pawl and the anchor for biasing the teeth of the pawl to engage with the teeth of the drive member. A protruded portion is integrally formed on a wall defining the compartment of the handle for positioning the anchor in place, thereby preventing the anchor from moving out of the compartment of the handle.

Abstract: A wrench includes a handle, a head having a pivotal portion, and a retaining mechanism for retaining the head in the desired angular position relative to the handle. The pivotal portion of the head includes a fore lug and a rear lug that are located with reference to a ratcheting direction of the handle. The handle has an engaging portion pivotally received in an opening between the lugs. Teeth are defined in an arcuate outer surface section of the fore lug. The thickness of the rear lug is not reduced, avoiding damage to the torque-bearing section in the pin hole of the rear lug.

Abstract: A ratcheting wrench comprises a handle and a head extending from the handle. A cavity is defined between a first side and a second side of the handle. A transverse hole is defined in the first side of the handle and communicated with the cavity. A drive member is rotatably mounted in a hole of the head. A block is mounted in the cavity of the handle, and a fixing member extends through the transverse hole of the handle and retains the block in the cavity. A pawl is mounted in the cavity of the handle. An elastic element is attached between the block and the pawl for biasing teeth of the pawl to engage with teeth of the drive member and for biasing the pawl to press against a wall defining the cavity of the handle.
