Because you can get more torque with it.
Long-handled shovels are more useful as you can get better "lift" from them, but may cost a bit more.
Because the long handle allows more leverage to be applied to the nut.
A long handled wrench gives you more leverage on those very tough bolts. However, a long wrench also has difficulty moving in tight quarters, so to counter this I carry a 16" piece of 1 1/2 steel pipe, flattened at one half. This easily slides over even my biggest wrenches giving me a lot more leverage, yet being able to shorten if I wish.
Most of them require a long handled 3/8 ratchet.
The longer handle uses more distance so you need less force.
the long handle provides a greater lever effect
A hammer and a shovel better if it's a long handled shovel
Short it's easier to manage
Long handled vellum battledores, short handled vellum battledores, plain wooden rackets, sandpaper covered rackets and cork-faced rackets.
Umm short hair is way better but it depends on what you think
my opinion, long.
Rākau Māori (Māori weaponry) was designed for hand-to-hand combat. In battle it was common for toa (warriors) to take a long handled weapon such as a taiaha (long-handled fighting staff) and a short weapon such as a patu (club) tucked into a belt.
