Balanced Cheater Bar for Ratchet

[IAMSatisfied]

This tool is pretty straightforward... I needed a way to apply torque to a ratchet using both hands to apply the torque rather than one hand supporting the head of the ratchet and only the free hand applying the force. It works well for my use.

This is made from a piece of 1/2" steel pipe and a piece of flat bar and fits the handles of several different makes of 3/8" ratchets.

I realize one can buy a T-handle socket wrench, but I live in the sticks and "running down the street to the hardware store" wasn't an option. This utilizes common scrap, is inexpensive and works well.

The transmission is strapped down to limit movement, a requirement.
