I got all excited about it too, but then it occured to me that 90% of the time I use my ratchet, I have a solid extension on it, so the light in the ratchet would be useless. Plus when you have an extension, you are way more likely to be working wih something hard to see, vs right near the ratchet with just a socket being something usually pretty easy to see if you have that much room. So you have light when you generally least need it.
Therefore ill hold off until they make a lighted 6 inch extension instead. I see really limited utility to this thing.
