Structure and working principle of ratchet wrench
Core structure: composed of handle, ratchet head (including ratchet, pawl, spring), driving square head, and reversing paddle.
Working Principle:
Positive (tightening/loosening): The spring tightens the pawl into the slot of the ratchet teeth, rigidly locks, and torque is transmitted to the fastener.
Reverse (empty return): The pawl is lifted and slid over by the inclined surface of the tooth top, and the wrench runs idle without driving the fastener, avoiding repeated disassembly and assembly.
Switching direction: toggle the paddle to switch the working position of the pawl, and switch the tightening/loosening direction with one click, without the need to flip the wrench.
Key parameters: Common 36/48/60 teeth, the more teeth there are, the smaller the minimum swing angle (such as only 6 ° for 60 teeth), and the stronger the adaptability to narrow spaces.
