    Sears knows how you use your tools. Meet the Wera Koloss Hammer-ratchet.

    IMO Channel-locks make the best auxiliary hammer.

    I can rarely get a standard Craftsman ratchet head in to the places that bolts live. On top of that, could you imagine what it would be like to lug that thing around day-in and day-out?
    I'm not impressed.

    I wonder how long it will take to shatter the ratcheting mechanism inside.

    That said, WANT

    You guys must not have to deal with rusty cars very much.

    You must work on very big cars Synthetic.

    I know I sure as hell would be putting that thing to use as a hammer, cause after not being able to fit it back around the nut... Then snagging every wire, hose or edge on the oversize hooked head of that thing on the way out I would definitely need to break something.

    Clever, but better joke then took I think.

    In reply to RedS13Coupe:

    Not so much big cars, but classic cars, unrestored. So many times I've needed to hammer on a socket to rusty suspension components.

    Also, that looks like a 3/4" wrench, so it's meant to to deal with bigger stuff.

    For what I do, it would be an excellent extra 3/4" socket.

    Cheapest I've found it is $88. Bummer, could have made a nice gag gift.

    Clever, but it does not fulfill the most common use of a hammer and a ratchet in that it cannot hit itself.

    i'm holding out for the ratchet/ hammer/ torque wrench... and if they can fit micrometers in there that'd be more better
