1. A ratchet handle comprising:
a body, a driving head, a first accommodation chamber and a second accommodation chamber separated by a partition, a first opening and a second opening which are formed on the partition;
a connector housed in the second accommodation chamber and having a ratchet arranged around a peripheral wall of the connector, two actuation members fixed behind the ratchet and including two toothed portions formed on two front ends of the two actuation members respectively, the two actuation members being located below the first opening of the partition, the first opening accommodates a press member which has two operation portions located beside the press member respectively, two balls accommodated in the two operation portions individually, a shaft defined between the two operation portions, and a driving sheet extending downward from a center of a bottom of the press member and defined between the two actuation members;
the first accommodation chamber having a covering sheet received in the first accommodation chamber, the covering sheet including a first orifice corresponding to the first opening of the partition, and the covering sheet including a second orifice corresponding to the second opening of the partition, wherein an upper end of the connector extends out of the first orifice, and the press member extends out of the second orifice, the covering sheet further includes a notch defined on a center of a lower end of the second orifice so as to accommodate the shaft of the press member, two tabs arranged on two ends of the second orifice respectively, a first recess formed on a top of each of the two tabs, and a second recess formed on a bottom of each tab, wherein each of the two balls abuts against the first recess or the second recess.
2. The ratchet handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when pressing one of the two operation portions, the one operation portion moves downward, and the other operation portion moves upward, such that a ball of the other operation portion abuts against the first recess of one of the two tabs, and the other ball of the one operation portion abuts against the second recess of the other tab.
3. The ratchet handle as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the second accommodation chamber is connected with a holding plate, and the covering sheet, the driving head, and the holding plate are locked by using two screw bolts.
