ABSTRACT:
A wrench having a floating pawl in a non-circular opening in the head of the wrench. The pawl has alternate positions for forward and reverse movement of the wrench. A reversing lever selectively moves an actuator to alternately engage one or the other leg of a spring within the wrench. Movement of the selected leg resiliently engages the pawl to move the pawl into the forward or reverse position. The pawl translates and rocks within the pawl opening when the wrench is ratcheted to minimize back swing arc.
