Question

the ratchet wrench combines the convenience of a ratchet with the compact design of a box end wrench in one tool. this type of wrench does not need to be taken off and repositioned over the bolt or nut; the hexagonal (or double - hexagonal) center of the ratchet wrench can be rotated relative to the handle. a bolt or nut can be quickly loosened or tightened, because the mechanism locks in only one direction to transfer force. ratcheting can be reversed by either flipping over the wrench, or by activating a reversing lever. why can you work quicker with a ratchet wrench than with a regular box - end wrench? the ratchet wrench is adjustable to accommodate different nut and bolt sizes. the wrench does not need to be taken off the bolt or nut and repositioned when tightening or loosening. the ratchet wrenchs handle has a more ergonomic design, which enables you to work faster.
