I always seem to just grab the biggest impact wrench I can, but sometimes that's not what's needed. For smaller jobs in tighter areas, the M12 Ratchet really shines. With up to 55 ft-lbs of torque, it should make light work of the toughest nuts, including the ones on those darn Corvette headers.  If you had to choose one, I'd probably pick the 1/4" version, but it's nice to have the extra torque.  Just know that the head size of the 3/8" and 1/2" versions are bulkier and don't fit in as many places as the 1/4" does.

My order of purchase would likely be: 1/4" Fuel Extended, this 3/8" Fuel Extended, 1/2" Fuel Ratchet, 1/4" Fuel Ratchet, and finally, the 3/8" Fuel Ratchet.  I know many like the regular, non-fuel version due to the smaller head size, but I never find myself using those.
