I just saw a new ratchet wrench from Stanley and was impressed enough that I
bought it even though I have 3 of the 3/8 ratchet wrenches already.
This one is a fine tooth model but had a unique feature. If you are in a
tight spot, you can rotate the handle/lever arm like a screwdriver. You can
turn it either way and it will ratchet the socket in the direction set by
the normal direction lever. I had never seen anything like this and can see
it being quite useful working on these old war horses.
You can buy them at Wal-Mart for $24.88 each in the 3/8" version. They
apparently do not have a 1/2" version at this time. I have heard that Husky
also makes a similiar one.
Dusclaimer: I have no association with Stanley or Wal-Mart.
