We called the Stanley version of this the "Magic Ratchet" at my friend’s performance car shop. Twisting the handle causes the head w/ socket to turn. Super time and arm saver. I walked by these yesterday on clearance and HAD to get one. The rest of the included stuff is whatever. Lifetime warranty which seems to be honorable – last time I returned a broken tool that was discontinued, they gave me a gift card for the full retail value of the tool.
Really just posting because as a car hobbyist and DIYer, I freaking love mine.
