Default Cordless Ratchet Wrench: 3/8" or 1/4?

My car has almost at 82,000 miles. For preventive maintenance, I need to replace the following soon:

1. Alternator
2. Water pump/thermostat
3. Transmission fluid and filter
4. Starter
5. Belt and pulley

From your personal experiences (or not), can someone please confirm whether this cordless ratchet is not too bulky to handle such tasks. It can produce up to 35 ft-lb of torque. Or is my 200-PC, Craftsman Mechanic Tool Set from Sears suffice?

Attached is what I am referring to:Milwaukee M12 12-Volt Lithium-Ion 3/8 in. Cordless Ratchet Kit-2457-21 at The Home Depot

Thanks in advance for you inputs.

I'm pretty sure that driver will work. Might be nice in close quarters where you have limited swing for a traditional man-ratchet.
