    I like that Snap On ratchet you have there. I will definitely be adding it to my arsenal.
    I had read some where that the avg Teck has 18 ratchets, I have went beyond the avg but I just cant help it, whenever a new shiny ratchet comes out it calls to me.
    Thanks for feeding my addiction.

    I like the the Snap-On ratchet. I have a 6" long ¼" Matco chrome handle indexing ratchet.
    The Matco doesn't go 360° like the Snap-On. It stops where the head meets the handle. I love it for confined spaces. Underneath an intake, timing belt job, etc.
    The video demonstrations:
    I thought you would've done better to use an extension with an electric ratchet in most cases.
    Also, what's wrong with using a brushless electric ratchet when working on a fuel tank? They don't rotate the socket fast enough to make a spark unless you're actively trying. And, Because you have a brushless motor, there's no spark occurring within the tool.... Right?
    I guess I'll find out one day when I go up in flames like Jay Leno working on his steam engine. Good video.

    I did what you said and got plenty of gas into the filter and no air in the line. Took off the hose to the carb and turned it over. It shot gas way out so the pump works and has gas, but no matter how much you crank it it won't start without a shot of starting fluid in the carb. Any ideas? Once it starts it runs perfectly until you shut it off then it wont restart.

      The storms subsided where i live. so, i tested this indexing ratchet. The 1/2" version. I put a 19mm socket on it, placed it at 45 degrees angle. I then pulled up with all my might on a lug nut. Didnt budge. I then rotated the ratchet so I am pushing down with my muscle and weight. The lug nut started moving. The wrench did fine. Only issue was that the plastic handle at the end seemed to flex. Perhaps the metal handle underneath doesnt go all the way up. I am an average joe. I figure, either you are super strong or you are using a cheater bar to break yours. @@CreativeMechanic
