Abstract
A reversible ratchet wrench includes a body rotatably receiving a driving member, slideably receiving a pawl, and pivotably receiving a switch button. A pressing member and an elastic element are received in a pressing member receptacle in the switch button. An end of the pressing member outside of the pressing member receptacle has a first spacing to a first side of the switch button. A protrusion is provided on the first side of the switch button and has a second spacing to the first side of the switch button. If the pawl slides in the compartment while the body rotates in a non-driving direction and if the pawl does not disengage from the driving member, the protrusion presses against the pawl to disengage the pawl from the driving member when the elastic element is compressed to an extent in which the first spacing is not larger than the second spacing.
