A nice set of ratcheting box ends are good to have if you wrench on cars all day every day. If you just work on your own and maybe a few other belonging to those close to you? In that case maybe get a set of stubby ratcheting box wrenches. Ratcheting stubbies have a way of being a tool that every once in a while isn't the right tool, but saves you from choosing between the rock of having go buy a special tool when no tool stores are open and the hard place of spending 3 hours with ever so completely wrong tools to unscrew a bolt five turns. Sometimes that completely wrong tool is basically chopsticks. Not fun.
That's one type of tool I have to have in the Snap-on brand. The reason why is because they make
a real smooth running ratcheting wrench; other brands by comparison are clunky and ill refined.
But don't think I have a lot of them; I only have one: a 3/8" x 7/16".

A fine click ratchet or wrench is a luxury that once you use it, you'll never want to be without.
i just picked these up, not a locking head but i wont mind so much when i need to beat on it.
