Abstract
A wrench tool which has a head and connected handle formed as a lever. The head has a ratcheting mechanism and a distinctive shape different than the connected handle. The ratchet type wrench also has a gripping means with dimensions of length greater than width, and width greater than thickness. The gripping means encompasses a substantial portion, if not all of the handle, and at least a small portion of the ratchet head. In some preferred embodiments, the gripping means is formed with a 'V' shaped or semi-circle shaped cut-out adapted to accommodate the shape of the ratchet head so that the gripping means does not obstruct the upper or lower surfaces of the ratchet head.
