When was a teenager was visiting a friend. He had some sort of socket set. Just messing around and yakking about something had picked up the socket wrench with a socket on it and started spinning it around. Low and behold the neighbor across the street's garage door started opening and closing.

We rode our bikes around the neighborhood and at least two houses on each block the ratcheting socket wrench would open and close the door.

That's the only tool trick I know besides getting the broken thing on the car to work.
