My 25" Snap on Dual 80 locking flex head ratchet is REALLY good! It would be hard to find a better 1/2 drive ratchet....

I really like my Powerbuilt Pro 24" flex head for three reasons:

1) The head is very compact, which gives extra clearance for things like caliper bolts.

2) The 72 tooth mechanism has very little backlash. I have yet to find a situation where a higher tooth count would be of benefit.

3) The flex has a strong detent that makes a lock unnecessary and is designed to last.

Amazon page says it is 1.5" wide. I don't have any 1/2" ratchets right now, but from their web site, the SLF80A (Dual 80) is just a tad wider (1 5/8")

I don't see anything on thickness.
