Handy Tool....

[BIG JOE]

Had to change out my Fuel Filter Drain valve. Found a new (to me) tool that really makes things easier when yer trying to turn a bolt or screw thats at an angle, where you can't get any movement from a ratchet, due to the angle, or things in the way.

Made by Stanley, got it at Wal-Mart. It's a 3/8s drive ratchet that you can turn nuts, bolts'n screws with, buy Twisting The Grip Handle, as well as useing it like a regular ratchet.

It sure made short work out of getn the 4 #20 Torque screws off, and back on the Drain Valve. For those of use that have done this R & R..... It's a PIA, due to work'n room.... or, the lack of it.

I can conjure up a bunch of uses for it..... so I thought I'd "Pass it On".

Stanley quality... JMO Guyz'n Galz but, I can smash, bend, break, snap off, burr, melt or round off.. loose, mis-place, leave behind or can't find a, "High Dollar" tool... just as fast as I can, a "Lesser Quality", "Lesser Priced" tool. So I go with the latter.

25 bucks, OTD @ Wally World.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I still have scrapes on the back of my hands from when I changed the o-rings in my drain valve last winter.

I hear ya. I waz gune do Just the O rings but it looked like the thing waz leakn out of the top of the valve too. Just changed the whole thing out.

I moved the relays and everything I could, outa the way.... STILL did'nt have much room.... The ratchet thingy REALLY helped. Them screws are about twice as long as they need to be....
