DIY: HF - Long Handle - 3/8 Drive - Roto Head Ratchet

3/8" swivel head as sold by HF and as modified by me.

The original plastic handle was removed with a twisted wire wheel on an angle grinder. Ground off the chrome and two small flutes intended to keep the OEM plastic handle from rolling on the shaft. JB Welded the red brass cheater handle to the handle shaft.


Seen here with 5/8" heater hose cushion grip.

I was looking for long handle ratchet as well. Finally, I found this 400mm long 3/8 roto head ratchet on Amazon jp.

W.I.T. 38SW400

It's not quick release so I swap the head.
