$10.96, & lifetime warrenty. Handy for those hard to reach thingiemagummers where you can't swing the handle... but you can unlock the swivel part so you can just pull/push on the handle :)

Here is another one, I have a quarter drive. Rotating grip ratchet, either one direction or back and forth motion of the grip turns the socket in the direction you want. First time I used mine was on a turbine inlet band clamp in a very confined space to run the nut down.
