I saw the sidewinder's at Pepboys back in what.. 1993?? I bought the 3/8" and the 1/4".. I think I use them to take up room in my drawer. Now Stanley has a similar ratchet except it's thinner and you simply twist the handle instead of a t-bar.

I haven't had Sears give me a hard time about a tool exchange before, but my tools aren't used daily anymore either. I had a very old ratchet that lasted about 20yrs and the pawl finally wore out and spun on its own. I wanted a new pawl because the ratchet was a classic "Sear's Best" series...

I found while walking through the park near dusk a Makita reciprocating saw with battery. Still have it to this day, and the charger for my makita drill is the same for the saw. Also when I had my car alarm installed found a long reach pliers (12") and a pair of wire strippers in the alarm...
