    24 inch ratchet

    I would get 3/4" plus adapter. Which I did :D . For tight places I'd like sth. that can be locked in both directions, but is there any ratchet like that?

    Wonder what happened to this jack stand idea

    I doubt that's a good idea :/ . They look convenient when lifting but with that kind of design pillars lack rigidity due to play.

    Advice to a "new" tool buyer

    I will stir the pot a bit :D and disagree with a few things. Going above 1/2" not worth it? I, as a rule, don't use sockets above 24mm or 1" with 1/2" drive. Socket will survive all right, it's extensions that go first, second is breaker bar. And you can always use adapter and 1/2" ratchet...

    Brake drum puller, anyone make one?

    A useless tool just for having. Don't bother making one. Easier and faster with a hammer only. Far too weak for any harder work, too.
