TStoney82, very good suggestion you made. I looked into these online, they sound possibly longer, and then I found what I was trying to find....
GearWrench XL Pass-Thru Ratchet & Sockets

This is sold at Sears, but not in stock where I went, according to online. This tool is made to avoid deep sockets but it has the byproduct of a low profile. The set #893823 has a bar 12 inches long...very nice. And a round bar so I can easily add a pipe extension.
I also found the GearWrench Gearbox wrenches are another solution.

It has an even lower profile. And the 14 mm wrench is 12 inches long. Perfection.
You have shown me the way...these are a set of tools to keep in mind...lowest profile and and long bars. |
yeah i use them everyday. working on the 2 they come in handy like no ones business. if you like them and want more torque and less hand stress, try the gear wrenches that are cross-beamed (meaning the shaft is twisted) these come in handy when you have a lot of wrenching to do and also helps break stubborn bolts easier.
