They prescribe it like that. Its the higher strength one though I guess.

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.

Default 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.

Harbor Freight Dude

Link

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

I'm going to have to yell at my local store. Go in there all the time and have never seen one of these. Thanks for the mini review as well.
