this, I had an old 1/2 inch ratchet which is rugged and been through things and a nice "newer" one but also that size, even had more leverage. The "feel" of comfort you hope for to not break things was lost on the modern one quick but it went furhter with the older one. It did get "uncomfortable" but at that point I figured if Im going to find which one is the weaker link id use the one that made it further and I was successful. Stupid reach and angle tho but thats just me being small and the engine being longggggg
