ratchet wrench
One-way bolt tool
A ratchet wrench is a wrench with a mechanism that allows the handle to move freely in one direction while engaging in the other, letting you tighten or loosen fasteners without repositioning the tool after each turn.
A small lever reverses the direction.
Hand me the ratchet wrench—I need to get at these bolts in a tight space.
