Zusammenfassung:	A hand tool has an elongated handle, and includes an elastically flexible drive gear along with a plurality of roller members, all supported in a cage member at one end of the handle. In response to selective rotation of the handle, the roller members operate to radially compress the drive gear about a fastener when the handle is rotated in a direction that imparts a torquing force to the fastener. The hand tool provides a haptic and audible ratchet feedback when the handle is rotated in a direction opposite the first direction to untorque the fastener.
