Abstract
An adjustable ratchet wrench includes a wrench body, a ratchet, a positioning member, and a movable device. A fixed clamp portion is disposed on the inner periphery of the ratchet. The positioning member is disposed on the inner periphery of the ratchet. The movable device is disposed on the inner periphery of the ratchet and movably connected with the positioning member. The movable device has a movable clamp portion, which forms a tool receiving hole with the fixed clamp portion for receiving a workpiece. By used of the movable device, the size of the tool receiving hole is adjusted for being applicable to workpieces with different sizes, facilitating the utility of the present invention.

- a wrench body having a head portion and a handle portion, the head portion comprising a first housing space and a second housing space connected with the first housing space, the first housing space provided with a rotation axis;
- a ratchet rotatably disposed in the first housing space around the rotation axis, a plurality of ratchet teeth disposed at an outer periphery of the ratchet, a fixed clamp portion disposed at an inner periphery of the ratchet;
- two positioning members disposed at two sides of the inner periphery of the ratchet, respectively;
- a movable device disposed at the inner periphery of the ratchet and between the two positioning members, the movable device comprising a movable clamp portion, a tool receiving hole formed between the movable clamp portion and the fixed clamp portion for receiving a workpiece, the movable device being switched among a first status, a second status, and a third status;
- in the first status, the movable device is engaged with the two positioning members;
- in the second status, the movable device moves with respect to the two positioning members along a direction in parallel to the rotation axis;
- in the third status, the movable device slides with respect to the two positioning members along a direction in vertical to the rotation axis for adjusting a size of the tool receiving hole;
- and
