Depends on what you are needing it for. First you should determine what size socket wrench [ratchet] to use. If using a small socket in a small place, try either a 1/4" or 3/8" drive ratchet.
Second will see a square piece on the head of the ratchet. You take the socket, and match the two squares together.
(Note: On some ratchets, you may simply be able to push the socket on, while others, there may be a small circle on the opposite side of the socket wrench. You have to push this in, while pushing the socket onto the square, and, when the socket is in place, release the circle. This attaches the socket to the socket wrench safely, so that it does not come loose while in use).
Now, if you are tightening the bolt/nut, you push the lever on the back of the head of the socket wrench to the LEFT. If you are loosening, you push the lever to the RIGHT. (Remember it like ON/OFF. On [Left], Off [Right]).
After setting the socket wrench, you place the socket on the nut/bolt, you turn the socket wrench to the left if tightening, and right if loosening. (When you turn it, you should hear a clicking noise. Then when you begin to tighten/loosen it, it will stop clicking).
Hope this helps!

How does a flame sensor work in home furnaces by using a metal rod in the flame?
Its not a flamesensor its a pilot generater it generates a small amound of electricity to open the main valve that way if your pilot light goes out it wont let gas escape and couse a potentian explosion
The above answer is not accurate unless you have a standing pilot model furnace. Then the "flame sensor is called a thermocouple, much different than the flame sensors used in Direct Spark Ignition, hot-surface and intermitant ignition furnaces.
The flame sensor uses the flame of the main burner to prove flame at the circuit board by measuring conductivity to ground through the flame.
A mallet is a large hammer usually made of a hardwood. It has specialised uses in some industries.
What is a pair of pliers and what is it used for?
Pliers are two pieces of steel connected near the centre by a pivot. The same principle as scissors, but with much sturdier and different handle and blades. The handle parts of pliers are thick and straight and meant to be encompassed by the whole hand, so as to exert pressure on them. There are many different 'blades', the most common being two short, strong flat jaws to grip items. There can be long thin jaws , as in 'Long -nose pliers', and ones with jaws designed to hold specific objects. Some pliers have a 'slip-jaw' pivot, that allows them to open up to grip larger objects. Some others, such as the famous 'Channel -Lock' pliers can open up to a range of specific settings.
Possibly one of the most versatile and specialist tools created, I have 18 totally different 'pliers' in my tool boxes.

Atwood gas furnaces will not light?
You have a problem in the regulator, or you need a new 'thermocouple' . Both simple work for a competent gas fitter - I'd recommend calling one.
