Don't crank on stuff with your ratchet; get a breaker bar in 3/8" for
breaking the seal on most stuff & (at least) 1/2" for the big sockets.
The 3/4" sounds good but I only ever have tourqued 3/8" driver stuff on
the Roc.

Ratchets shouldn't take the strain, just break the seal and come back
with the ratchet to spin them off.
