Get one.

Actually a certain number "free" ones are built into the purchase price of
the ones that are paid for.  If Sears feels they are unable to raise prices
and stay competitive, they just have to cut their costs by changing their
supplier.  Now we have a lower quality line of tools just because of you
Shawn.  You are probably the cause of a lot of other world problems like
skunky beer, drooping breasts on women, and birds preferring to poop on our
cars instead of the the parking lot.

When I use my 2' cheater bar on my breaker bar I wince.  I can't imagine
doing it on a ratchet.
