ABSTRACT:
A pawl and ratchet assembly for use in socket drive wrenches or the like which includes a pair of arcuate pawls that encircle a ratchet gear means. A single control is provided for positioning the pawls so that either of the pawls can individually engage the ratchet gear means to provide clockwise and counterclockwise ratcheting, both of the pawls can engage the ratchet gear means to provide a lockup mode and so that both of the pawls can be disengaged from the ratchet gear means to permit a freewheeling mode. In one embodiment, the pawl control means is mounted on the handle of the socket drive wrench to enhance its accessibility in confined areas of use.
