Last year for a Father's Day gift I got a nifty ratchet that has the
usual action, but also lets you twist the handle to rotate the socket
quickly.  It came from H*me Depot.  (Husky brand?)
   When I went to my local store recently to get one for a graduation
present, they knew what I was talking about, but they no longer
carried it.  The tool guy just shrugged his shoulders at the stupid
decisions by management.
   I then found another ratchet (at that store) that is nearly as
impressive.  It has a pivoting head that can be locked at various
angles or allowed to tilt freely and also has a handle that can be
extended for extra leverage when needed.
