My cousin sent me a new ratchet wrench. It works like a normal one and if you twist the handle the head ratchets. This is great for an area that you can get the wrench on the bolt but can't move the handle; just twist the handle and the head turns. Proto makes it. I got the 3/8 drive but there is 1/4 and 1/2 too. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif

This sounds interesting. I've not seen anything like that here in the UK.

We used to use wrenches that looked like a ratchet handle but were actually 90 degree drives. You could put a regular ratchet in the end of the handle to turn it. At the time we used them to access spark plugs in Corvettes.
Does this sound like what you have, or is the new one different?

Ack! Another tool I must own!
Are we talking about flex-head ratchets or right angle drive? I only see flex-heads on Proto’s website.
This is getting painful. We were sitting in Del Taco at lunch yesterday when the Snap-On truck pulled into the tire place next door. Those were the most expensive chicken tacos I’ve ever eaten.

Just bought the 3/8 drive at Home Depot. It is made by Stanley under the Husky label. Quick test and it works just fine!!!
Yesw, there is plenty of tourck. I just used it to get to bell housing bolts on an Isuzu. I am going to order the 1/4 drive next pay day. This is a great tool for under the car in tight places. It is not a 90 degree tool but a real wratch that also works with the handle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif

Thanks John!
So it was under News and Media announcements rather than the products section.

Are they actually for sale?
Or is this a promotional blitz before they're available?

Thanks... I'll have a scrounge around, these sorts of tools don't seem so easily found hereabouts....

I used to have a screwdriver made like that. Wish I still had it. It was a necessity when changing speakers in certain GM cars where the screw holding the speaker cover was 1 inch from the windshield and facing it too... I know car stereo installers that would have the windshield removed to replace those speakers - expensive job to replace 2 $40 speakers.

Just got off the phone with The Stanley Works customer service, she said manufacturing location varies by part number, with different tools within all their brands, Stanley, Proto, Blackhawk, etc made in different places.
The 1/4" and 3/8" Rotator Ratchets are made in Taiwan.
