A ratchet handle of generally spherical shape, the handle having an embedded ratchet mechanism near one surface, the drive post of which is accessible through a diametrical channel extending from the opposite side of the sphere. An extension rod inserted into the channel mates with the drive post and extends beyond the opposite surface of the handle a selected distance to a socket wrench which may be used to drive a fastener of corresponding size. Supplemental male and female post recesses accept additional extension rods serving as lever handles and fixed, non-ratcheted drives.
