A conventional wrench with a box end is used for a long time and the box end includes a toothed inner periphery so as to engage a polygonal object such as a nut. The object is enclosed by the box end and cannot be slid from the box end during rotation of the wrench. Nevertheless, if there is an obstacle located beside the object, the handle of the wrench cannot be rotated freely, the user has to remove the box end from the nut completely and then re-engage the nut after the handle is arranged to a proper position. This increases the time required to tighten or loosen the nut and is not an efficient tool. To improve the problem, a ratchet box end tool is developed and allows the user to reciprocally operate the box end wrench without removing the box end from the nut. However, the ratchet wrench involves too many parts and the assembling processes are complicated.
The present invention intends to provide a box end wrench without ratchet mechanism and can be used as a ratchet wrench.
