Wal-Mart has a $17 version of this thing. Too big to be of much use on automobiles, I think the brother in law ought to take a look at one before asking for one..... he probably thinks it's like an electric ratchet, not just electrically adjusted for size. If he wants one of those then he really needs a hobby. looks to be totally useless...the tool, not the brother in law, but then, maybe him too. I'm the only brother in law that ever amounted to much
