Abstract
The present invention relates to a one-way freewheel clutch type wrench, more specifically to an indicator mechanism for providing audible and/or tactile feedback when a one-way freewheel clutch wrench is rotated in the unrestricted, or 'reloading', direction. The indicator mechanism has a ratchet wheel with teeth attached to a one-way freewheel clutch socket which interacts with at least one indicator located in a pocket of the box-end of the wrench.
