ABSTRACT:
A new improved push button reversible ratchet wrench completely operable by one hand having the push button improvement operably attached to a double-ended pivotal pawl engaging the ratchet wheel having the square shaped stud adapted to receive a socket. The improvement includes a cam connected at one end to the push button located transversely through the shank of the wrench mid-section. The other end of the cam is pivotally attached to an extension control rod which in turn attaches to the double-ended pawl which engages the ratchet wheel. The push button is operated simultaneously with grasping of the handle of the reversible wrench by the operator whereby manipulation of one hand, the direction in which the wrench will ratchet may be selected, or reversed or central neutral position where the pawl does not engage the ratchet wheel, may be chosen in accordance with the needs of the mechanic. In an alternate embodiment, a pivotable lever control arm is operably connected between the double-ended pawl and the transversely situated push button which operates the double-ended pawl to engage or disengage the ratchet wheel or find a neutral position.
