Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0431278A2] The invention relates to a ratchet wrench having a ratchet wheel (3) which is rotatably mounted in the head end of the tool shank (1), can be arrested in either direction of rotation by a spring-loaded locking piece (4) and is provided with a central opening for the passage of a workpiece, on the wrench faces of which a socket (9) connected to the ratchet wheel (3) via coupling faces can be mounted. To obtain large coupling faces while retaining a low space requirement and the largest possible passage opening, the central opening of the ratchet wheel (3) is constructed as a polygonal aperture (7) for directly receiving a corresponding outer polygon (8) which is arranged on the sockets (9) in each case having one passage opening (10). <IMAGE>
