1/4 ratchet question

[astrodoggie3000]

On the Snap-on 1/4 ratchet... is the handle 4-7/8 long, or is the overall length that small? Sorry this is a dumb question, but i would like to get one and i'm stuck between the standard handle and the longer 6-1/2 inch one.

TL72 is what you want and there is one in the classifieds for a good price.
Not mine either

Tl72 is the long handle?

Ratchets and other drive handles are listed by the overall length.

Get 'em both. I'm not being facetious, I use my long TL72 most of the time but there are a lot of times it won't fit where I need it to fit. That's when I break out the short one. Next I'm going to get the flex head for when the short ratchet won't cut it.

Yes

T = 1/4" DRIVE
L = LONG
72 = # OF TEETH

The dimension listed is the overall length , not just the handle.

I can't make up my mind... so i think i will get them both. The small one just seems so small! I have small hands and that just seems small for even my hand.

Thanks for the break-down on the model number Bart. I'm such a noobie.

They actually have one that is even shorter than the T72 for tight spots.
