Either way it was a terrible terrible idea. Was fun for the first little bit, but quickly went downhill (maybe not the best word choice).
Another thing that I use quite a lot are these:
'
1/4", 3/8", 1/2" socket drivers for the power drill. I have like 4 of them in 3/8".
So nice for zipping stuff off/on real quick. My cordless drill has impact so it's real fast and portable.

indexing offset ratchets
I was in Lowes (home improvement chain here in US) today (Bad Idea 
)
Picked up two of these in 3/8's and 1/4 drive ....awesome for spaces where
a full length ratchet is not able to arc properly ...... really recommend you
Guy's look out for some of these
You can basically set the ratchet handle in increments in a 360 degree manner
....... freaking amazing the stuff they come up with these days

I've got the brake pads out of the 92 atm waiting for some new ones. The pistons made there way out and I would have been sticking a screwdriver in there to get them back in but for this tool. Cost about 5 bucks and worth its weight in gold.

Was meeting Malbo yesterday in Saugus / Danvers Massachusetts to p/u some parts
he sold me - and grabbed this stuff at the HF store there - saved shipping
Tell ya they are pretty heavy duty - good gauge steel and rollers are good enough
I'll post up a pic tomorrow of my 1990 up on it
Just need to add some stick on rubber stops under the little built in filp down ramps
as on a smooth garage floor like mine it tends to 'skate' a bit driving up on it.
No biggy tho'. Highly recommend !
Not bad for < than 80 bucks too
