A hand tool for driving a fastener is provided. The hand tool includes gearing that interconnects a splined socket to a rotatable or trigger actuator and increases a rotational speed of the splined socket relative to the actuator. The hand tool may include a power tool receiver or an independent motor to drive rotation of the splined socket to advance or retract a fastener from a threaded shaft. By increasing the speed and conserving rotational inertia, the hand tool reduces the time to secure a fastener on a threaded shaft. A rotatable nut is provided. The rotatable nut can slideably orient along a first axis and threadedly orient along a second axis to fasten to an adjacent surface.

A dual ratcheting tool having multiple ratchet assemblies and handles for rotating adapters, sockets, and other tools is provided. The dual ratcheting tool includes an upper ratchet assembly independently rotationally and mechanically connected to a lower ratchet assembly; a drive member connected to the upper ratchet assembly and the lower ratchet assembly; an upper handle connected to the upper ratchet assembly, the upper handle having an upper directional switch to set a drive direction of the upper ratchet assembly; and a lower handle connected to the lower ratchet assembly, the lower handle having a lower directional switch to set a drive direction of the lower ratchet assembly. The upper and lower handles of the dual ratcheting tool can independently and in combination can drive a socket more quickly and efficiently than ratchets having a single ratchet assembly and handle.

A ratchet tool having a head having a first cavity is adapted to receive a cover plate and a second cavity. An aperture extends between the first cavity and the second cavity. Disposed in the first cavity is a ratchet gear and a pawl. A selector switch disposed in the second cavity and moves the pawl between a first position and a second position. A retaining clip retains the selector switch in the second cavity. The retaining clip extends into the first cavity. The pawl includes a first extended portion and a second extended portion extending from a lower end of the pawl. At least a portion of the retaining clip is disposed between the first extended portion and the second extended portion. The first extended portion and the second extended portion contact the lower surface of the first cavity. An upper end of the pawl contacts the cover plate.

An attachment assembly for being connected with a hand tool includes an active unit, a passive unit and a switching shaft. The active unit includes a front wheel, a middle wheel and a rear wheel are simultaneously rotatably connected in sequence. The passive unit includes a first wheel and a second wheel are simultaneously rotatably connected. The switching shaft pivotably connects the active unit and the passive unit, and switches the active unit and the passive unit being rotatable or not.

A power tool includes a motor and an output assembly configured to receive torque from the motor. The output assembly includes an anvil having a cylindrical body portion, an output member configured to engage a socket, and a curvilinear transition portion that tapers between the body portion and the output member. The transition portion defines a radius in a plane containing a rotational axis of the anvil that is greater than 1.5 mm. The output assembly also includes a pawl that is moveable between a first position in which the pawl is operatively coupled to drive the anvil in a first direction and a second position in which the pawl is operatively coupled to drive the anvil in a second direction opposite the first direction.

A ratchet wrench comprising a housing, at least one gear supported within the housing, one of the at least one gear comprising a drive hole, a stationary handle extending from the housing, a dynamic handle hingedly extending from the housing such that, the dynamic handle is rotatable between at least one handle open position and a handle closed position, and at least one pawl, each of the at least one pawl adapted to slide between a pawl open position and a pawl closed position, one of the at least one pawl adapted to be in engagement with one of the at least one gear at a time. The dynamic handle disposed in operative communication with the at least one pawl such that, rotating the dynamic handle towards the handle closed position causes the at least one gear rotate in one direction and releasing the dynamic handle causes pawl to return to the pawl open position without causing the at least one gear to rotate in the opposite direction.

A socket assembly includes a socket head, an input member, and a plurality of transfer members. The socket head is disposed about an axis and defines an aperture extending axially through the socket head and through a side of the socket head. The socket head includes external teeth. The input member is coaxial with the socket head. Each transfer member includes a first end drivingly coupled to the input member and a second end configured to engage the external teeth.
