Check out this weird ratchet
I picked it up off Ebay for a whole $1.25! Thought it wight come in handy when I have to change plugs in the LT1 again. It's a swivel-tip 3/8 drive clutch-type ratchet. anyone ever seen one of these before or know anything about them?
Like I said, when I saw it on Ebay, I immediately thought it might be cool to use to change the plugs in my 93. Or maybe I'm just a tool *****. No matter!

For $1.25 you can't go wrong.

Anyway, I know that it's a cheesey tool, but I thought it would be good for at least a laugh. Who knows, it might even prove useful!

However, that probably rules out being a cheezy tool!

Hey, if it proves useful for one job, one time, it was more than worth it. I'd certainly pick one up if I saw it somewhere that cheap.
