Abstract

A powered ratchet tool includes a handle housing, a motor disposed within the handle housing, the motor including a motor shaft rotatable about a first axis, a head extending from the handle housing, a ratchet mechanism supported by the head and including a crankshaft and a yoke coupled to the crankshaft such that the yoke is pivotable in a reciprocating manner in response to rotation of the crankshaft, an output drive coupled to the yoke such that the output drive is configured to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis in response to reciprocation of the yoke, and a coupling assembly coupled to the motor shaft and to the crankshaft such that the motor shaft and the crankshaft are coupled together for co-rotation about the first axis.
