However, you have to be smart about using it. With the head being so small, it can't sustain a lot of torque and with the handle so long, you can easily overdo it. If the fastener is large, corroded, or overtorqued, try to find a different way to remove it because this tool can be easily broken.

A 1/4" ratchet with long handle makes it too easy to break the tool, and a stubby 3/4" ratchet wouldn't be able to get enough torque.

I do like the GW 120XP flex-head dual material 1/4" I got a couple months back though - at 9" long it's about as long as I'd want to go for a 1/4" ratchet.

While they do make a 3/4" ratchet, I've only seen them in the possession of heavy equipment and 18 wheeler mechanics, and the ratchets alone start at $80.
