Enhanced ratchet

An enhanced ratchet, comprising:

• a handle;
• a head connected to the handle;
• a rotating drum rotationally mounted with the head, an outer surface of the rotating drum being covered by teeth, a top edge of the rotating drum being open, a bottom edge of the rotating drum being closed by a surface, a rotating head is integrated with the surface of the rotating drum, wherein a socket is substantially seated in the rotating drum when attached to the rotating head;
• and
• a direction toggle accessible at an end of the handle, the direction toggle operably connected to the one or more pawls through a linkage extending through the handle, the one or more pawls being operable to engage the teeth for driving the rotary head of the rotating drum in a first mode, a second mode, or a third mode, corresponding to a first position, second position, and third position of the direction toggle.

A method for utilizing an enhanced ratchet comprising:

• receiving a socket within a rotating drum of the enhanced ratchet, the socket being secured to a rotating head attached to the rotating drum, the socket being seated substantially within a ratchet head of the enhanced ratchet rotationally securing the rotating drum;
• receiving positioning of a direction toggle corresponding to one of three modes, the first mode corresponding to a clockwise driving force and a counter-clockwise ratcheting direction, the second mode corresponding to a counter-clockwise driving force and a clockwise ratcheting direction, and the third mode corresponding to the clockwise driving force and the counterclockwise driving force;
• and
• applying a driving force to the socket in response to receiving the positioning of the direction toggle in one of three modes.
