Open-end ratcheting socket wrench, unidirectional in rotation, reversible by flipping the wrench body to its other side. The socket has a slot on one side to fit over the cable, tubing, or pipe being worked on. There are three pawls so a minimum of two are in contact with ratchet gear at all times since one will be disengaged with the gear when the open face is adjacent to the pawl. The intended use of the tool is to loosen or tighten a fitting attached to a cable, tubing, or pipe especially in a recessed area without having to reposition the wrench onto the fitting using a ratcheting action. The socket is then backed away from the work piece, the slot in the socket realigned with the slot in the body and the wrench and socket removed from the cable, tubing, or pipe.
