[Land-speed] ratchet wrenches

[Benn]

Yeah, Mayf, but waddya do when you need the offset of the wrench the other 
direction?  You can't do it.  I've thought about the design you have and 
can't decide if it is enough more useful most of the time to offset the few 
times that you really need the wrench on "backwards"  for clearance to 
nearby obstructions.

As I figured, people have a lot of thoughts on tools, and I thank one and 
all for their input..

I love thinking about the progression over the millenia from the first 
hammer to current robots.  Our nicely shaped pieces of steel are well-suited 
to their specialized tasks, but I'm probably more impressed with the 
proto-human who first tied a rock to a stick.  (Hence the naming of our 
production company "Fire and Tools".)
I suspect that many of us have an almost visceral but reverent feeling for 
these way cool extensions of our capabilities.
