Haha, true. This was just a household ratchet that someone donated to our apartment and it was all I had at the time. We were lucky enough to have a 17mm socket.

When I go back down to school, im bringing my tools with me. A set of 1/2" drive sockets with a 14" ratchet. I still dont own one of my own breaker bars though. My torque wrench might help too.
