Drill-Powered Offset Ratchet
$60.00
Best Overall - Reached 268 ft-lb manually and 232 ft-lb with impact. Completed gauntlet in 206 seconds. Functions as an impact ratchet - currently only available in air form for cordless tools. Thicker tube construction and off-the-shelf ratcheting head. Specs claim 74 ft-lb manually, 50 ft-lb electrically but exceeded these ratings.

Offset Wrench Extender
Only managed 13 ft-lb with drill before spinning out. Maximum 25 ft-lb by hand when clamped. Described as 'so inefficient at transferring forces' and 'turns impact wrench into a tool warmer.' Called 'uselessness' and 'beloved by TikTok toy.' Could not complete the gauntlet test.
