The ratchet and socket are a type of wrench. The ratchet itself is the handle that contains the ratcheting mechanism.

A ratchet is a catch that allows something to rotate one way and not another way. There is a wrench with a ratchet on it. It’s called a ratchet wrench. When you see one and try it at the car part store you’ll understand it almost right away.
