    Magnetic Sockets - Do you use 'em?

    Been thinking about pickin up a couple of sizes, I see people like them for small fasteners for dashwork/ inside where dropping parts can be a PITA. Any other uses where the speed/convenience is worth having them? Also, they seem to be a bit more like impact sockets in terms of dimensions...

    Ratcheting T-handles

    Are these generally strong enough to break loose fasteners? I'm thinking about picking one up, but slighty skeptical it might just collect dust. With single piece t-handles (hex/torx etc) I usually use them to break and spin out fasteners. I tend to like my T handles longer, so a ratcheting...
