    Good! Because they're all too big, and I tells ya, they've got teeth, that's the first problem! I got one of these a few decades ago and when you need it, you need it. Roller clutch. Three inches long. The only drawback is that to change directions, you remove the socket and push the anvil...

I'm happy with my basic...

    Bob, the nice thing about these modern LED underhood lights... https://www.harborfreight.com/2000-lumen-foldable-underhood-light-70114.html Is that they're also just portable light bars! Should you wind up in the attic on another wiring job, for example. I've used mine for a variety of things...

    P.S. That's the basic, easy joke! Extra credit if you get elaborate! If the kid asks why he isn't seeing any three-armed children, tell him that people hide them in the countryside. That's when you arrange a situation with somebody in the countryside to have a boy with a fake third arm...
