Abstract:
1. A method of arranging a ratcheting driver for rotationally driving a piece, comprising the steps of: providing a handle with a hollow interior and a longitudinal axis and two pockets supported by said handle, placing two pivotal pawls in said pockets for orbital motion about said axis, attaching a cap relative to said handle for rotation of said cap relative to said handle and about said axis and with said cap having a web extending toward said axis and between said pawls for interference therewith to restrict the rotation of said cap and said cap having a hole extending through said cap and parallel to said axis and aligned with one of said pawls, and having said one of said pawls spring-urged parallel to said axis and aligned with said hole through which there is access to said one pawl for depressing said one pawl and thereby releasing the interference and thereby the restricted rotation of said cap.
