ABSTRACT:
A new improved reversible ratchet wrench completely operable by one hand having the improvement operably attached to one side of the double-ended pivotable pawl engaging the ratchet wheel attached to the square shaped stud adapted to receive a socket, the improvement comprising an extension rod slidably situated along the mid-section of the reversible wrench pivotally connected at one end to the double-ended pawl, the extension rod other end terminating in a thumb control button, said thumb control button operable simultaneously with the operator's hand grasping the handle of the reversible wrench. By manipulation of one hand, the direction in which the wrench will ratchet in may be selected or reversed, or a central neutral position where the pawl does not engage the ratchet wheel may be chosen whereupon the ratchet wrench is completely free of engagement of the socket.
