A ratcheting handle includes an elongated body having an end portion formed with an inner annular wall that extends in an axial direction to define an axial hole. A ratcheting mechanism is disposed in the axial hole, and includes a gear member that is disposed to be coaxial and rotatable in the axial hole and that has a coupling end engaging a shank of the associated driver bit, and a rim portion disposed around the axial direction. The rim portion is provided with a tooth member that is spaced apart from the annular wall in a radial direction to define an annular chamber therebetween. The ratcheting mechanism further includes a pawl member disposed in the annular chamber, and having a fulcrum point lying in a fulcrum line parallel to the axial direction, and first and second tooth portions disposed at two sides of the fulcrum line in such a manner that one of the tooth portions engages the tooth member when the fulcrum point is shifted between first and second positions along a line parallel to a chord of the gear member. A spring includes a mounting end secured to the fulcrum point, and a free end that extends angularly from the mounting end and that is slidably retained in first and second anchored points on the annular wall.
