Ratchet Control for a Tool

A tool comprising:

• a head having a cavity;
• a ratchet assembly carried within the cavity and rotatable about a centerline, the ratchet assembly including a gear portion and a drive portion aligned along the centerline such that the drive portion extends away from the cavity;
• a pawl carrier rotatable within the cavity relative to the gear portion;
• wherein the pawl carrier cooperates with:
• a first pawl having first teeth and a second pawl having second teeth, wherein the first pawl and the second pawl selectively engage with the gear portion as each moves along a groove provided in the pawl carrier, and
• wherein the pawl carrier is rotatable between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position corresponds to the first pawl mechanically positioned along the groove to engage the gear portion and the second position corresponds to the second pawl mechanically positioned along the groove to engage the gear portion;
• and
• a ratchet control including a ratchet lever configured to engage a back surface of the head and a ratchet base disposed within the cavity, wherein the ratchet lever mechanically engages the ratchet base, and wherein the ratchet control is coupled to the pawl carrier to cause rotation between the first position and the second position.
