Hi Bill, I am glad that David posted about that find. My next trip to Reading about 40 miles away a set of them will definitely follow me home. For my use they are great. The most common use I have is to remove the saw guide on my table saw. Anyway to answer your question. The box wrench part that grabs the nut or bolt is mounted inside of a housing. In the housing the ratcheting mechanism is placed. On the handle right below there is a button that you push to change the direction of the ratcheting. They are pretty slick.

You know, this realy does sound like a good deal. I doubt if I even have a complete set of wrenches now anyway. Can somebody explain though, how a box wrench can rachet? Thanks.
