I think many of us have friends that..are like my friend Allen,
if he finds a new tool,
that he thinks is really useful he can,t wait to point out the fact that hes got it,
and that YOU are obviously working at a HUGE!
dis-advantage until you get a similar tool!
if you listen to him describe adjusting set screws in jam nuts,
with this tool, he swears its ......
yeah! lousy description, but I TRIED IT AND ORDERED A PAIR , of the tools
because I can see where hes coming from, and why he thinks these tools are something he likes,
or as he said,
yeah! working around Allens entertaining, even if only for the "neater"descriptions

just a heads up or bit of info on a couple styles of manual 3/8" drive ratchets ,
I've found to be rather useful in my tool box, none are perfect but each serves its purpose reasonably well, and I find the first two get used a good deal.

well I would not put it quite that high on my list but I will say that the tool comes in darn handy when your trying to turn stubborn small screws that make your average screw driver , look rather inadequate, as the tool provides a good bit more leverage and control if you can use both hands, its a T-handle with a easy snap lock on a swivel that allows you to lock the handle the shaft spins , through at any of several distances from the tip thus allowing you to maintain pressure between the bit or socket and the fastener with one hand and intermittently apply torque at far higher levels that a simple screw driver allows with the other hand, this is a big advantage in a few applications , as your in far better control over the angle and application of the torque applied to the fastener"neater than fishing in a lake where,
you have to stand 30 feet from the bank and behind a large tree,
to bait your hook,
to have a seconds time, to gulp a beer between catching fish"

or as he said,
"neater than being asked to apply sun tan lotion at a topless beach by cute gals removing thong bikinis"
yeah! working around Allens entertaining, even if only for the "neater"descriptions
