A handle extends about a first axis and includes a bifurcated portion. The bifurcated portion includes a concave face and two screw holes along a second axis. A toothed ring extends about a third axis and includes a convex face in compliance with the concave face and two bores along a fourth axis. The toothed ring is moved into a space in the concave face while keeping the third axis parallel to the second axis. The third axis is overlapped with the second axis and a center of the toothed ring is near or coincides with a middle point of a segment of the second axis in the bifurcated portion. The toothed ring is rotated about the first axis so that the fourth axis is overlapped with the second axis and the bores are aligned with the screw holes. Two screws are inserted in the screw holes and the bores.

A torque wrench including a head, a handle, a primary beam, a secondary beam, and a torque adjustment mechanism. The primary beam couples the head and the handle for co-rotation about the rotational axis and the primary beam includes a first end adjacent the head and a second end adjacent the handle. The secondary beam is coupled to the head for rotation with the head about the rotational axis and the secondary beam is movable relative to the primary beam and the handle. The torque adjustment mechanism adjusts a torque setting of the primary beam relative to the secondary beam. The torque adjustment mechanism includes a thumb adjustment wheel that a user rotates about a first axis to adjust the torque setting by moving the second end of the primary beam relative to the handle along a second axis offset from the first axis.

A ratchet tool comprises a base, a ratchet body, a switching member and a pawl member. The base has a rail and is movable with linear motion along the rail between a first position and a second position, the ratchet body has plural teeth, and the pawl member is engaged with the switching member and comprises plural ratchet teeth, a first abutting portion and a second abutting portion. When the switching member is movable to the first position, the pawl member is pivotally rotated to a third position to make the ratchet teeth mesh with the teeth and the first abutting portion abut against the base, therefore the ratchet body enables to rotate along a first rotation direction. When the switching member is movable to the second position, the pawl member is pivotally rotated to a fourth position to make the ratchet teeth mesh with the teeth and the second abutting portion abut against the base, therefore the ratchet body enables to rotate along a second rotation direction.

A ratchet tool has a handle housing and a ratchet assembly including a pawl and an output shaft. The pawl is moveable between a first position in which the pawl is operatively coupled to drive the output shaft in a first direction and a second position in which the pawl is operatively coupled to drive the output shaft in a second direction opposite the first direction. A switch in the handle housing has an external actuation surface for engagement with an operator's hand. The ratchet tool also has a rotatable gear having at least one tooth, the rotatable gear operatively coupled to the pawl such that rotation of the rotatable gear effectuates movement of the pawl between the first and second positions. A linkage is operatively coupled to the rotatable gear to effectuate rotation of the rotatable gear by actuation of the switch.

A power tool comprises a housing defining a grip portion, a motor having a motor drive shaft, a drive assembly including a crankshaft configured to receive torque from the motor drive shaft, an output assembly having an output member configured to receive torque from the crankshaft, a bearing rotatably supporting the crankshaft, a retainer configured to prevent translation of the bearing along the crankshaft past the retainer, and a transducer assembly disposed between the grip portion and the output member to measure the amount of torque applied through the output member.

An example hand wrench is provided. The hand wrench may include a handle (15) having a handle opening (12), and an orbital member (24) received within the handle opening. The orbital member may be configured to move orbitally about a point axis. The hand ratchet wrench may further include a driver affixed to the orbital member. The driver may be configured to receive a socket that interfaces with a fastener to turn the fastener.

A high-torque ratchet wrench including a wrench body having a driving aperture and a handle, and a drive member is disposed in the driving aperture and an axial position-limiting mechanism is disposed between the driving aperture and the drive member to limit the relative axial displacement. The external side wall of the drive member and the internal aperture side of the driving aperture form two cylindrical drive faces nested, wherein a first cylindrical drive face is provided with a pin recess, a pin is rotatably mounted in the pin recess, a relief is disposed on the side face of pin, the pin is connected with a resilient reset member, the pin is rotated with the resilience of a resilient reset member, and a relief is driven to stand out of the pin recess and contacts a second drive face.

The present invention surrounds to a ratchet apparatus, system and use thereof. The invention is presented to provide additional mechanical advantage and added angular engagement of a ratcheting wrench. In particular the present invention provides increased torque and angular engagement within a compact space without requiring an extended handle, wherein an extended handle reduces portability and further restricts access and movement within confined spaces.

A wrench includes a driving unit located in the head of the wrench. A rod extends through the driving member and includes a stepped recess so as to control a bead in the radial hole of the driving member to secure a socket connected to the driving member. A rotary member is connected to the head and includes a room. A locking member is located in the room and locked to the driving member. A fixing area is formed between the locking member and the driving member so as to fix the locking member and the driving member together. The fixing area ensures that locking member is not separated from the driving member.
