Gearless ratchets operate using a mechanism that allows for rotation in one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction. Typically, they consist of a pawl and a ratchet wheel, where the pawl engages with the notches on the wheel to allow movement in one direction. When the wheel tries to rotate in the opposite direction, the pawl locks into place, preventing backward motion. This design enables efficient, quick adjustments without the need for gears.
