What happens here
The next drawer features a selection of ratchets and extensions. The presenter shows off his Milwaukee impact socket set (kept in its original case for portability), a set of extractors, various extensions in 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, and 3/8 inch sizes, and an Icon adapter set. His ratchets include Stanley, Icon, GearWrench, and Snap-on brands. He particularly favors the GearWrench ratchets for their size and reliability, and the smaller Snap-on ratchets for tight spaces. He also mentions he just picked up the Icon ratchets but finds them a bit bulky.
