A ratchet wrench, also known as a socket wrench or ratchet, is a hand tool designed for turning nuts and bolts. It typically consists of a handle, a ratcheting mechanism, and a socket that fits onto the fastener. The ratcheting mechanism allows the user to turn the fastener in one direction while the tool remains engaged, making it more efficient than traditional wrenches that require the user to lift and reposition the tool for each turn. This design enables faster and more convenient tightening or loosening of nuts and bolts in various applications, such as automotive repair, construction, and general maintenance.
