For all but low-clearance applications, I could see this being a real winner. Unfortunately most of my life seems to be low clearance... Okay, that open-ended version is pretty slick.

My dad has the ratcheting 1/4" drive and the ratcheting screwdriver and they're simply amazing. Maybe Santa will bring me one... Totally agree with the crescent linesman pliers, the Klien ones are terrible. They are much much softer steel and the cutting edges go to hell in a hurry.

That's gotta be my ratcheting screwdriver.. http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/001049.php Anytime something needs fixing, I grab that first, to go check it out. If a friend calls that they have a loose door, busted door knob, some electrical problem, or that their refrigerator door opens the wrong way - I just grab that screwdriver and then figure what else (if anything) I might need. That said, for electrical work, a close second and third are my Crescent Linesman 8" pliers: http://www.cooperhandtools.com/brands/CF_Files/model_detail.cfm?upc=037103213419 and my Fluke Non-Contact Voltage Detector: http://us.fluke.com/usen/products/Fluke+1ACII+VoltAlert.htm?catalog_name=FlukeUnitedStates&#38;Category=ELT(FlukeProducts) Hah Chuck,

He didn't mention it in his original note, but I saw the sizes in my quick research, so I added them. What's your favorite tool, Rick? He probably doesn’t use metric tools.

(11mm to 20mm)? Technically, assuming the 16 SAE wrenches is correct, this actually replaces a 26 piece SAE/Metric wrench set. Or am I missing something?
