Ratcheting Box end wrenches and drill bits

[Don Malling <dmallin@attglobal.net>]

I thought I would get myself some ratcheting box end wrenches for Christmas. I 
assume that 
reversible ones with an offset are better than the straight ones that you flip 
over to reverse.

Sears has them with a lever/switch to reverse and also ones with a swivel head 
-- the idea is to 
flip them over and the swivel head gives the offset. Any suggestions which ones 
are best?

Also which kind of drill bits are best -- cobalt? Any particular brand better 
than others? Buy a 
drill bit sharpener? Which Brand?

Thanks,
