That actually looks like a handy ratchet -- I think all of us have that 
"reach for first" ratchet. I have been using this one since the early 1970's 
and just love it. You can spin down the nut/bolt like a screw driver and 
then swivel it to any angle for tight spots. It has a extra long handle that 
gives you the torque you normally would get from a 1/2" drive ratchet.
