This ratchet works like any other ratchet but with a unique extra feature- You know the situation, you can get your socket on the nut but there’s hardly any room to ratchet the handle. That’s not a problem any more- just twist the handle to drive the socket until the nut is home then give it a little tweak to harden up.

Magic!

If there’s no room even for the tweak then use the 1/4”drive socket on the end of the handle to apply torque via the twisting handle.
