I recommend getting two different 1/4 ratchets. The one you selected or the equivalent with the little lever to change directions, plus the one with the swivel head and the soft handle. Most newer engine bays are cramped and there's lot's of small fasteners. You would be surprised how much use you can get out of the 1/4 drive stuff.

Thanks. Thats probably not a bad idea. I'll get the 1 posted plus the flex head and one to change directions. Might as well go ahead get a flex head for 3/8 too since I get 50% off student discount from snapon and matco.

You guys werent joking about the craftsman ratchets being cheap. Got that set today and those ratchets look like something from a flea market vender.
