great tool - one caution
Although Stanley makes a slightly more compact “rotator” ratchet, I bought this one because of the 1/4 inch hex drive, which works great with a cordless screwdriver. Feel stupid admitting that I whacked myself on the head with the removable handle. It removed itself all too quickly when a bolt broke while I was pulling on the handle…as the angle decreased towards me the friction retainer could not prevent my hand and handle - with a hard metal cap! - from coming back at my forehead. It was an unusual position working on the boat but a definite possibility that could be easily cured by providing a simple pushbutton release on the handle.
It has saved me a lot of time working in corners where there just isn’t any room to use a regular screwdriver or ratcheting handle, and the 90 degree configuration is more useful than the angled “skewdriver”.
Definitely a tool that should be in your box.
Update (5/20/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Dangerous Junk
Clunky and doesn’t execute very well. Dangerous. Forget drilling with this. You need included bits and one broke in 10 seconds into soft wood - too much wobble in system. I’d give it no stars if they let me change it.

Handy tool.
A very useful tool, especially when combined with a cordless drill or driver. It is durable and ingenious. I would definitely recommend this garage mechanic for the weekend.
