PS. HF has two versions, get the "long" one.
Note 1: Some of their tools, especially their light weight low profile floor jack, are among the best. I bought one and my friend bought two for his mechanic shop.

We have some HF tools in the shop. There are some very good items......and some real crap! The 3/8" to 1/4" drive adaptor snapped at about 2 Lb./ft. of torque!
