Yep, but with the ratchet it'd be a lot of wiggling vs place, twist, replace, twist ....Quote:

We use ours all the time , good for tight spaces were nuts are tight on thread all the way off for your fingers & can't get socket bar in , especially under the dash . I recently did couple of jobs on my BMW A/C , would be still going with it without these small ratchets.Quote:

You could make them "stubby" very easily. the most important bit would be a very soft ratchet action so you don't have to hold the socket to allow it to ratchet on loose'ish fasteners.Quote:

Was waiting on a small pump so that I could put the T/C fluid back in.
Did the job nicely this morning.
