Hi ChrisI have a set like this at work and also one at home. It is similar to your proposed design except it uses a spline on each tool to engage the pawl.https://www.newmantools.com/wfmc.htmDave

It does have a pretty stiff spring, so might not work real well is a situation where the fastener does not have much resistance and you can't get a finger on it to add some.Dave
