Ratchets and Sockets Unaddressed User Needs: - Comfort - Ratchets are used daily and full polish or cushion grip handles are today's technician's preference. - Strength - Pipes / Cheater bars are used on ratchets to break fasteners free and ratchet teeth need to be strong. - Access - Fasteners may be in tight spaces where thick head ratchets with sockets attached cannot fit. Hard to reach fasteners require longer handle drive tools to reach while some tight spaces cannot accommodate the length of the ratchet handle and require shorter handle designs (stubby). - Trade-Offs - Today's brands of ratchets tend to maximize strength with larger ratchet wheels but restrict access with the thicker head.
