[0002] Ratchet wrenches are a locking tool that is often used in daily life. Ratchet wrenches are widely used in real life and involve many industries.

[0003] The main structure of a ratchet wrench is composed of a plate body and a plate head that can be movably connected, which makes it easy to adjust the angle. Therefore, before the ratchet wrench is assembled, it needs to go through the assembly of multiple parts. The assembly equipment usually includes a material feeding mechanism, a crimping mechanism, a fastener assembly mechanism, etc. These mechanisms work together to complete the assembly process of the ratchet wrench.
