As I previously stated what's the point of a 3/4" ratchet, which by definition is going to be used under very high torque situations, being only 20" long. If you buy a 400 ft-lb torque wrench it's three feet long and it's that long for a reason. This seems like a worthless tool to me. TOPTUL's ANAB2470 3/4" 100-700 ft-lb torque wrench is 1230mm long. That's 48 inches long. That's what you need to generate the type of torque I'd use a 3/4" drive piece of gear for. 20" long 3/4" ratchets seem stupid to me.

I don't want to sound like a TOPTUL commercial, and if it is it would be the dumbest commercial in history as I don't even sell this tool, but this 3/4" ratchet makes sense to me.
