Just saying, as the girth of the handles grow, the fewer tight spots they fit in. They may feel good, feeling good does nothing in a minium clearance work situation. A good tool is worth so much more for a purpose then, how it looks or feels.
You-tub as the example, the reviews mostly center on looks, feel and cheap . WTF and folks bitch about cheap shit, does not last...?.... seems to me some get what they pay for, no substance and glitter ....... hollywood mentality
New tool adds are a hoot, users always have a football field to use them in.

To be fair, my pictures suck. But I don't know where you're seeing girth besides the grip section? It's a pretty uniform rectangle with radiused corners in cross section. I would say it's slender between the head and grip.
I'm just confused by your post pep. I posted my other Wright ratchets, some of which I've been using for years. That has pretty much let me know Wright ratchets are heavy duty industrial tools, despite how fancy they may or may not look.
It sounds like you have never tried Wright. If that's true, you should.
For the record I'm not Merk. A lot of ppl over on the journal think member Wamsutta is.
I am generalizing about a trend the industry is generally moving or a direction headed .. The handle is exactly the girth being referred to.
For the record all these handles, or operator controls if one likes ..........Suck big time, first off cannot clean them, solvents melt them, they chip, heat is not friendly, just fall apart later down the road.
Personally do not own any, will not buy a tool that has them. Nope lean, mean & knock your teeth out, handles are for me
Just saying
