Im still sorting tools here, and have come across a 3/4" britool ratchet spanner, and also a sealy 1/2" with a 24" handle.
Now, ive always understood it that ratchets are for light work, with the final tighten to be done with another tool.
So what's the point of a 3/4" ratchet? 3/4" is for strength, but connected to a ratchet, it seems pointless / overkill?
And then a ratchet on the end of a 24" bar. Again, putting 24" of leverage on the end of a ratchet seems like a pointless design?
But these two things exist on my table - so what am i missing? : )
