ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for forming a pawl pocket in a ratcheting tool wherein a keyway cutter at the end of an elongated pin removes material from the neck portion of a wrench. When removing material from the tool's neck portion, a predetermined path of the keyway cutter defines two flat surfaces on respective opposing sides of the pawl pocket, with each flat surface forming an angle preferably in the range of about 27 to 35 degrees between a centerline of the pawl pocket and the flat surfaces themselves.
