Abstract: A powered ratchet tool includes a housing with a battery receptacle, a motor within the housing with an output spindle driven about a first axis, a battery configured to be coupled to the battery receptacle to power the motor, a head pivotably coupled to the housing and configured to pivot with respect to the housing about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and between a plurality of discrete orientations, the head including a ratchet mechanism driven by the output spindle and an output drive coupled to the ratchet mechanism and configured to rotate about an output drive axis, and a locking mechanism moveable between a first position, in which the head is locked in one of the plurality of discrete orientations with respect to the housing, and a second position, in which the head freely pivots between the plurality of discrete orientations about the second axis.
