Ratchet advice required.

[Buckman]

I have a socket set for the torque wrench and think it is 1/2 square drive. See pictures. I need to access and remove the 12v aux battery. I don't think I could use the torque wrench as it maybe too long. The the battery is located under the driver's seat so limited room to swing the arm. I would also need an extension at least 150mm in length.

I could have it done by a local garage, but they want a £68 fitting fee. I would appreciate some advice on ratchet size as a bit of a numpty in this area. Also those "tower" or bolt things that screw into the square terminal points, are they easy to remove?

A recent post of yours springs to mind.

I understand that, but if they are clumsy with a spanner, maybe they should not be working on a motor vehicle?

Funnily enough, that post was in relation to removing / fitting a battery. I think the same holds true for a 'numpty' who doesn't know which tools to use, or how to undo those 'bolt things'. Maybe you should let the garage do it.

Something less clumsy would be my choice, plus could be used for so much else not requiring 1/2" impact driver sockets.
