This thing:
Twist the handle, the ratchet turns. Game changer. No more loosening stuff one tooth at a time in tight spots. Once it's loose, you can zip it right off, similar to an air or battery powered ratchet, but this fits into spots where those won't. Even when you need more torque than you can get by twisting, you can use the twist feature to get the maximum arc every time.
You can, or at least could at one time, get a Bostitch version at Wal-Mart for under $20.

I have one of these, too. It's great for setting stakes in the sand at the beach and fits conveniently into the chair/tent storage bags to always be there when you need it.

I just fell in love with this tool

Where has this been all of my life??
Gator socket, not bad.
You can't break any bolts lose because they're plastic and probably wouldn't take the torque but man it helps with out of the way bolts. Especially long ones.

My god, I need to get one of these! In looking for a video on how they worked, I an across these Proxxon brand ones, which are more expensive, but have a 1/4" drive for the rotator handle for additional torque.
I don't know how I survived all the home improvement projects I've been involved in without this right angle drill attachment. I swear I use it on every project now that I bought it. The handle is adjustable all over the place, so I haven't yet run into a problem getting it in anywhere. You definitely want the Milwaukee branded one as it has metal gears. Ace Hardware seems to have the best price on it.
