It's too thick to be used in tight spaces

I was very pleased to receive this new model of torque wrench. And out of the box, it's pretty neat. But once I really started working on my car, its flaws became all too apparent. And I'm not a fan anymore. First the advantages: It is really easy to read and set torque values. This is a very good feature. The handle is comfortable and comfortable. And when it clicks, you can feel the pull. Now for the cons: This thing is TERRIBLE in a small space. The head and neck are too thick. Most snap-on torque wrenches are tapered above the handle, so the head and neck are relatively thinner above the handle, allowing them to be used in tighter spaces. Not this one. The shaft has the same shape and diameter up to the head. And the head is FAT! And instead of a little shifter to change direction, it has a HUGE metal plate sticking out of an already oversized head. Here are some measurements: The shaft and neck diameter is 22.2 mm. head without switch. or the drive square is 20.9 mm thick. The switch protrudes another 4.5 mm over the head. In general, the thickness of the head without the drive square is almost 25mm. It's almost an inch. Then add your outlet and it's practically useless in a tight space. Can I recommend this to a friend? No, I really regret buying this key.
