Oh yeah, if you find that you can't get the drain bolt open because your 3/8" ratchet is too short to provide leverage, a rubber mallet can do wonders. A metal hammer would damage your ratchet, so that wouldn't be advisable. Alternatively, you can spend $7 at Supercheapauto for a 3/8" made in china socket set and just hammer at that since it is considered disposable (I used this and the ratchet didn't break).
