Lots of options, thankfully. If I can save time on a job its $$, if its my work it lets me get more things done in the limited time I have. The Gearwrench XL 10mm is 9.5" vs 6.25" long for the standard wrench. edit. Found another options thats 12.4" long, so almost 2x the standard. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

As others have stated: simply longer. If not in a tight area I greatly prefer them as they provide more leverage and just feel nicer to work with in my hands.

Project Cart
Spotted this cart being used on one of the weekend car shows. Very well built, shelves fold up for easy storage, and can be nested if you store more than 1.

Check body shop equipment supply websites. Body shop guys have a thing for parts carts. All sorts of formats.

Thanks, good info. Ended up with the GearWrench 120XP 86126 set, not sure I'll every use a few of them but they are really nice. The 10mm is just over 12" long, exactly what I needed. Such a time saver its not funny. Thankfully I have deep drawers in the new box!
