Going back to the truck is always the smarter move in my book. A 1/2 inch drive is the right tool for that job, and forcing a smaller one risks breaking the ratchet or the socket. That trip down 12 floors is just part of the job and ensures you aren't making a simple task harder. Relying on undersized tools is a bad habit that leads to stripped fasteners and damaged equipment.

My cousin rented a car last year and they charged him a cleaning fee for a single french fry under the seat. Charlieh14, your air charge reminds me of that.
