Warren, who makes those finger ratchets? Look pretty useful, wouldn't mind a set like that myself!

For me, I've got a few tools that are "one job" tools - one's that exist for no other reason than doing a specific job, such as this Sierra scuttle clip tool;



And a BMW mini door glass adjustment tool;



But as for general service tools, Snap-On ratchet screwdriver;



Hands down, best tool I've ever bought. Completely changed my way or working when it comes to stripping doors down, etc. I still have a few single-purpose screwdrivers; a big flat, some big Phillips (no4 Phillips is a beast of a driver) and some torx, along with a nifty Facom handle that accepts double ended hex shanks, with a variety of driver ends) but I just love this screwdriver! I need the little stubby version too

Other useful bits are these bit ratchets, that I initially bought purely for doing Audi door glasses, but have proved to be useful for other stuff too;



And this ratchet adapter;



Which fits into a 13mm ratchet spanner (or plain ring end if you so wished) and loads a 3/8" drive socket, for restricted access jobs;



Loads of other really useful bits too, but my most recent "bargain" came by buying this job bundle;



All I needed was the "pigs foot" trim tool (because I'd lost mine and was getting pissed off not having one). RRP on that one tool is £33, but this bundle was £26 inc postage, so I bought it, then listed all the other bits on ebay for reasonable prices, and so far sold it all bar the flex socket (probably cos it's imperial, and not metric, so not as common these days) and pulled in £27 (net) so I'm a quid better off, AND I got a "free" tool! Result!

Now if only I could get it with an orange handle.....!
