Was at the local autoparts store and was buying a flex head ratchet for doing plugs and got this over the straight handle figured it might be more helpful. What do you guys think

Although it looks odd, that ratchet wrench will prove itself over time... I bough one, didn't think I would use it much but I end up using it all the time.

BTW.. what brand is taht ratchet? The handle looks like a Snap On knock-off.

I have this same tool and found it very useful when I installed my headers. Works great for changing spark plugs.

the floppy head with the 1/4 on one side and 3/8ths on the other is great. its a stubby ratchet. it has saved my *** lots of times. they have it at all the auto parts stores.
