BIAS MEMBER FOR REDUCING RATCHETING ARC

摘要

A tool that broadly includes a first drive end and a ratchet gear disposed in the first drive end. The ratchet gear includes a receiving portion adapted to engage a work piece for providing torque to the working piece. First and second pawls each including pawl teeth are selectively engageable with the ratchet gear. The first and second pawls each include a relief portion on a side opposite the pawl teeth. A first bias member is engaged with the relief portions and limits movement of the first and second pawls away from the ratchet gear during use of the tool, thereby reducing an amount of ratcheting arc of the tool.
