A torque-controlling ratchet connector structure including a main body, a torque mechanism exerting a torque onto a screwdriver bit for rotating the same, a pressure adjustment mechanism for adjusting the torque, a first and a second ratchet wheels selectively clockwise or counterclockwise rotatable and a connector adapted to connect with various screwdriver bits. The torque mechanism includes a toothed disk rotatable along with the main body. By means of the pressing of a pressing plate and a spring of the pressure adjustment mechanism, the first and second ratchet wheels and a washer are forced, making steel balls exert pressure onto the toothed disk so as to rotarily drive a rotary shaft fitted in the hexagonal holes of the ratchet wheels and the washer. The rotary shaft in turn rotates the connector to drive the screwdriver bit.
