I don't have one of these but saw it in the KTC pdf catalog I was browsing. It is 80mm long (that's just a hair over 3 1/8") and toolnetwork.com advertises it for $67.50.
KTC (Japan's answer to Snap On I guess) is proud of their tools and make no bones about their quality as compared to any other tool worldwide. Check out Nepros in other threads here. They look sweet!

I want one, they make a non flex version too. I want one of those too. Wish in one hand ...

Kxxr,

Just being picky here :D ....Nepros, KTC's flagship brand, was created to surpass Snap-on tools. :D

That KTC ratchet is also sold at Ultimate Tool Co for a couple bucks cheaper. Better pictures are found there. It's a 3/8" square drive inside a 1/4" body. Btw, the head diameter is wrong: it's not 20mm; it's 22mm.

Better yet, IMO, is Nepros' NBR3FSCUN. It's also a 3/8" drive in a 1/4" body. Although it's 100mm in length (20mm more than the KTC) you 'only' pay $65.90 for a product that's manufactured under a standard that no other tool company in the world will do. Oh, and not only that, it's 30 grams lighter than the KTC version. :thumbup: Check it out here.

Haha. I was thinking about picking up that set for the heck of it...

I was looking at a 1/4 drive round head Kobalt ratchet the other day. It was hardly the shortest ratchet out there, but it had the smallest round head I have ever seen... They had it on a display. Couldn't find it on the racks, or I probably would have picked one up. :(

Two Snap-on's and a Plvmb 4749.

One SO is a GM 70 S, the other (Top one) is a GM-70-M

Not sure if someone re-assembled one backwards, but the S is lower profile since the switch is not in the way, but the Plvmb is even lower profile yet. The M is about 1/8" Or Less) shorter than the M.

Not the smallest at 4 1/2" long but surely the lightest at 40 grams due to alluminum body.
