Default AmPro Stubby, fine tooth, dual-drive ratchet



Description: The version of this tool that I own is an AmPro (sold through advance auto parts and others) 1/2" and 3/8th" drive version. This tool is invaluable when you need to ratchet in tight spaces like around exhausts, under the dash, and any other tight spots where you regular ratchet will only make one "click" and will move you along at a speed of a taking off snail.

This isn't where the benefits of this tool end. The dual drive isn't there only to make this tool more versatile. Let's say you're working on something that requires both 10mm and 12mm sockets in the same area. What I do is run a 1/2" to 3/8" adapter and attach the second socket on the other side. This way I don't have to get out from under the car/dash/seat or where ever I happen to be working at.

Pros: Dual drive, fine tooth mechanism, stubby ergonomic design.

Cons: This isn't for breaking loose anything that is stuck well. I haven't broken one yet, but they just aren't made for that and you will feel it if you pay attention to the feedback.
