    X2. I like the stubbies, because if you need the ratcheting action, you are prolly in a tight space anyway. Then finish it off with a standard length wrench...

    Surprisingly I find I can get it done with a stubby set I got for christmas a few years ago, my Benchmade knife and duck tape most of the time. and some times a hammer:)

    I thought it was a joke when I got it but it has turned out to be the most useful thing I own 3rd only to my Benchmade 940 Osborne and my leather-man.

    http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs...-_-google-_-D25X-_-100596178&locStoreNum=6652

    when I need more I usually go to specialty stuff what I am doing IE Electronics, multi meter, wire stripers, etc. Construction, nail gun, screw gun, hammer, square, etc. ohh and Lithium-ion sawzall and skill saw FTW!!!

    Actually that is perfect. When you need to see something you can't get to str8t on. These are unusual things you don't think of right?

    That's a good one because I drop screws or sockets into the engine compartment every single job, no matter how simple.

    I'll add: a pair of the big super jumbo sized slip joint channel-lock type pliers, a lot easier than using crow bars, pipe wrenches, or large C-clamps for many jobs.
