What sort is it? You basically want it to be long enough that the wrench can't be pushing on your knot when it's facing down. ISC have an official recommendation for clearance, but I can't remember what it is...

I got a shorty at first but it didn't allow enough space for the knot, and worse, I kept pinching my fingers in it. Bloody awful.

Some climbers deal with a too short tether by pushing up the RW each time before weighting the hitch, personally I don’t care to do that, just like it’s not desirable to have to reset a hitch each time.  One tether has rubber o rings to prevent too much rotation, which helps to prevent the jamming.  Putting thin o rings on each side of the attachment post does the same thing, I’m finding.

A shorter tether can be used if a compact hitch with the shortest possible legs is used.
