Hello.

I'm looking for a 3/8" drive ratchet: smallest head, flex head, longest handle.

Do they even make such thing?

I got the snap on 3/8" ratchet in a 1/4" body. I want something similar to that but flex head and long body.

For about the smallest in the world, buy a Harbor Freight T-Handled flex roto-ratchet "thing". Undo the bolt at the flex joint, and you end up with a super tiny roto-ratchet ratchet with a 3/8 drive.

Do Snap On make a flex head 1/4 ratchet with the same mechanism as your 3/8 small body, as you could always change the drive size if they do.
Otherwise Askme42 is dead right, but its still not very long at 6.3".

Oops... missed your requirement for a long handle. The HF "thing" would provide that as-is, if you can live with the "T" at the end of it. Or, grind it off.

drop the kit from the FC72 you have into the body of a THLF72 ratchet. that'll give you 8 1/4". If you can sacrifice the flex head, put it into a TLL72 ratchet body.

outside of that, Matco I believe has a smaller head 3/8 locking flx ratchet that's fairly long

Not Snap-On, but it fits your requirements completely.

Forgot about that one...
Those are seriously great tools... despite being HF.

Snap on's longest 1/4" body in a 3/8" ratchet is the FCF72 flex head at 6 & 1/4"s, if your looking for longer, put that kit in an THLF72 or/but fixed head TLL72 ratchets ! :thumbup:
