looking for a certain kind of socket wrench I saw a socket wrench a while back that you could turn the bottom of the handle and it would spin the socket. I could have sworn it was made by Huskey but I can't find it at home depot.
Anyone know who makes it

ive got a 1/2 ratchet from craftsman that has a t handle you turn on the end of the ratchet handle. bout it about 5 years ago cause i thought it looked cool.
not so cool anymore in the back of the drawer. i think i used it for a hammer one time when i couldnt find one.
those ratchets in the link are pretty cool. ill get one of those for the back of the tool chest too.

I think MAC also makes one. My dad bought one of the Blackhawk rachets and loves the thing. He has a difficult time moving his arms, so being able to turn it with his wrist works great.

You're talking about the Husky 3/8" Drive Rotator Ratchet
I got one a few weeks ago and did the spark plug change on my car with it. It really helps to break it lose then twist the handle to get the rest of the spark plug out without having to use your hand to feel it in tight places.

I ahve the one from MAC. I never really liked it because I can never get enough leverage on it. It twists of the bolt head before I can break it loose so to avoid rounding the head of what ever bolt I am working on I just use a regular Ratchet wrench.
