Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017187388A1] A power driven direct drive ratchet/wrench tool allows a user to tighten and loosen fasteners in tight spaces efficiently and effectively. The tool includes a tool housing, a fastener-engagement body, a spur gear, a drive shaft, and a plurality of drive pins. The tool housing acts as the structural element and includes a ratchet head, a tubular handle, and a gear-receiving cavity. The ratchet head is terminally connected to the tubular handle. The gear-receiving cavity laterally traverses into the ratchet head and houses the spur gear and the fastener-engagement body. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted within the tubular handle. The plurality of drive pins is connected to a proximal base of the drive shaft, about a rotation axis of the drive shaft. In order to transmit torque, an at least one arbitrary pin from the plurality of drive pins is mechanically engaged to the spur gear.
