GEARED CLICKLESS SOCKET WRENCH
A geared socket wrench hand tool is disclosed. The socket wrench is a clickless wrench allowing for more precise movement of the socket. The socket wrench, through a series of gears, can rotate in infinitesimally small rotations.
1 ) A geared rotating socket wrench capable of infinitesimally small incremental rotations, comprising:
a) A handle with a proximal end, a distal end, a front surface and a rear surface;
b) A rotating driver head disposed perpendicular to the front surface of the distal, end wherein a socket can be disposed thereon and the rotating driver can rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction;
c) A lever mounted on the rear surface of the handle near the distal end thereof for selecting clockwise or counterclockwise direction of the rotating driver head;
d) A first rotating gear with a plurality of teeth disposed on its perimeter connected by a first shaft to the rotating driver head;
e) A second rotating gear with a plurality of teeth disposed on its perimeter mounted to a second shaft on the handle wherein the teeth on the first gear rotatingly mate with the teeth on the second gear;
f) Two third gears fixed to the handle mounted laterally to the second rotating gear wherein the third gears engage the second gear if the user attempts to rotate the socket in a direction not selected and thereby preventing the driver head from rotating in a direction not selected by the lever.
