3/8" Ratchet For Weaklings

Of course I had to take a trip this week and spend all my mad-money on a cardiologist trek. This baby looks like a winner. Long long flex handle, and 90 tooth gears for minimum clearance requirement.

Regardless, I'll wipe my tears and post this for someone else that can use it. For laughs I looked at a 3/8" drive Snap On flex handle a foot-long, and when I saw the price it wiped the smile right off my face.



Well SHOOT! I did the best I could with a hyper zoomy image!

    Wonderful! Thank you. For me this is a must.



    I would love inexpensive sealed-cap bottle aids that I can keep one in the rig, one in the toad, and one in my pocket. I bet my face flushes when I ask "Can you open this for me?" It's just not dignified...

    An impact wrench or pneumatic ratchet are even better friends. You are right though. I watch my son struggling with something then say wait a minute then show him the easy way. Which usually does involve leverage.
