How to choose
- Only a few centimetres of room: the RH2HSS2 (60 mm) and RH3HSS3 (75 mm) are the shortest ratchets we sell. TONE builds the quick-spin dial into the head so there is no long handle to swing.
- Need more reach later: both stubby ratchets have a drive square on the handle end, so a spinner handle or extension can be attached behind them (per TONE).
- Ring-wrench access with ratchet speed: the HRM311F set takes sockets on a flexing ratchet ring wrench, useful where a socket and ratchet will not fit straight on.
