Tools you thought would be **** but turned out ok

The gear reducer lug nut remover tools. Someone recommended it to me when I was battling some over tightened lugs on a lowboy. It works.

The plastic case is junk, but you just wheel away on the handle and on a really tight one you can see the whole thing twisting up with the torque on it, then crack and they break loose. It's a lifesaver on the side of the road with heavy equipment.

I believe I recall the thread where it was suggested to you after you snapped a 3/4" Snap-on extension iirc. I'd always been skeptical of the torque multiplier, but now I think it's something I should have.

HF metric combo box end ratchet set. Bought on a whim because I had a coupon. I really didn't expect them to be as good as they are.
