I have a few hex screws that i would like to remove. I bought a bit for my drill at home depot and lost it on the way home. I remembered that i had an old socket wrench set. Could someone tell me how this works? I see at the 'head' of the rachet a turning figure, but don't know its purpose. I assume they work on the same principle of clock wise and counter clock wise...turning it counter clock wise had no effect...what is the purpose of that 'turning lever' on the head? I manipulated it to see if i get any effect, especially counter clock wise, but there was no friction. Yes, at least i know that i have the proper size, cause i felt the tension tightening it..
