You wont regret having a long handle flex head ratchet even if you have to spend truck prices on it.

I have a MAC that is somewhere in that range. I don't have it handy to measure, but it's really handy.

Kobalt makes one and it appears to be well made for $70. I wont pay that much for a made a Taiwan ratchet.
I have the Armstrong locking flex 18" with the 84 tooth kit in it. I wish they made a 24" but I don't have much use for it.

SO SHLF80 flex head comfort grip handle, just under 26" long. They also have a chrome handle flex head(SLF80) that is 24" long. I think they have a locking flexhead in that length to. Longest fixed head is 15"

I don't think anyone other than Snapon, Mac and Matco have a US made ratchet over 18".

Why not get an armstrong for ~$85, then get a 24" breaker bar. Cheaper than the 200+ for a tool truck one

I picked up a USA made Husky that is 18 or 20 inches long. I paid $7.50 for it with my 25% discount at the thrift shop. I have never used it. It has a swivel head. I have another one that is solid. I paid less than $10 for it. They don't come up for sale very often that cheap. I like knowing they are there if I need them but in the past 10 years I have had no need for one.
I guess Husky is made in China now so that is out. It is a real ****** that everthing good has gone to Asia.

I am with you on that. Get a locking flex head, I cant stand using a swivel head ratchet now that I have the Armstrong locking flex heads. I wish they made a 24".
I have a 24" Sk breaker bar and might buy the ratchet head for a breaker bar.

usually access; to get the socket lined up on what you are trying to break loose
also some dealers will tell you the ratchet head is stronger than the breaker

Yup, I don't even keep my breaker bar on my cart anymore since I bought a 24" Matco flex head. BUT I only bought it because it was 80 bucks used from my Snap on guy.
I like that idea^.
I really like that idea^
and that^ would be a good deal but not a dollar more imo.
