Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Gang,

I have the 3/4" drive chromed version of this Wright 1" ratchet.  It's a bit on the coarse side and pretty noisy, but operates very smoothly.  I seldom need 3/4 drive, and could probably go the rest of my life without ever needing a 1" drive.  Just saying...

I don't know about you guys, but 90% of my maintenance and repair work can be done with 1/4" & 3/8" drives toolage.  The remaining 10% (i.e. wheels, brakes, suspension, steering, and chassis) can usually be accomplished with 1/2" drive.

That said, last week my next door neighbor came over looking for a 2" socket to put a different ball on his trailer hitch.  I had nothing even close to that in 1/2" drive, so I checked my 3/4" drive stash and found a 2" socket; it was the biggest socket I had in this drive side.

I had to borrow my Dad's 3/4" drive set to disassemble the Chas. Parker Vise he got me from work when they "scrapped" it.  I had squat in 1/2" drive to get the nut loose on the swivel base.  I've since procured a 15(or 18 - I forget other than it's BIG) Adjustable Cresent brand wrench.
