Ratchet combination wrench

[semi42]

Looking for advice here and after changing jobs, there’s a couple of large size ratchet wrenches that would make a couple of regular tasks a lot easier.
However some of the bolt heads access are a bit restricted and using a borrowed wrench, the ratchet end of the wrench doesn’t quite engage on the bolt.
The question is who makes a decent durable ratchet wrench with the smallest wall?

What sizes

Define restricted. The bolt head is recessed slightly making it difficult to get a ratcheting wrench on it?

I have a set of ratcheting flex wrenches that I got from the mac guy on sale that might work for you. They're stamped Platinum but I've seen matco and cornwell and mountain ones that look exactly the same but with different stamping

top right corner of the drawer
go from 10mm to 19mm and skip a few sizes
I think mac makes a 21mm real long one without the flex but still has the end that sticks out for recessed nuts/bolts

Really it’s just a 24mm, what the restriction is, is a welded bracket that doesn’t allow the ratchet head quite on

You want reversible or flip? Zero offset or 15 degree?

I don’t think he cares if it fits. I think the obstruction is adjacent to the bolt head so he can’t get the fat head of the ratcheting box end onto the bolt. But in a 24mm size, they are going to assume you have to crank down on it and they build that box end to survive the expected torque. I can’t think of any ratcheting designs I’ve seen that are particularly slender when you get up over 17mm. The mountain wrenches above are pretty good in that respect, however I’ve never seen them over 19mm. But they do get rebranded, so checking the tool truck brands as was suggested may reveal more sizes?

If the space is that tight that you can’t get a wrench on it what do you think will happen when you back it out and can’t get the wrench off? It sounds to me you would be much better off with an open end wrench
