Abstract

A ratchet tool includes a handle housing having a grip and a longitudinal axis, a ratchet assembly including a pawl and an output member, wherein the pawl is moveable between a first position to drive the output member in a first direction and a second position to drive the output member in a second direction. A switch disposed in the handle housing having an external actuation surface is slideable with respect to the handle housing in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis. A linkage disposed between the switch and the ratchet assembly includes a first portion having a first end coupled to the switch and a second portion having a second end opposite the first end coupled to the ratchet assembly to move the pawl between first and second positions in response to movement of the external actuation surface, the first portion being offset from the second portion.
