I have 6 sets of them, 2 that you flip over to either tighten or loosen. 2 with the switch to tighten or loosen, and 2 set of flex heads. I put the 4 foot breaker bar on them quit a bit, espically pulling upper ball joints. The flex heads are great to get into places, but kind of awkward to use because as you pull/push they want to go side to side
Oh, I have gear wrenche brand, and use them daily, if I can't get the impact in there, I use the gear wrench.Last edited by Soufkackicustom; 11-25-2012, 05:17 PM.

I've had a set for years at work, I wouldn't work without them.
Only broken one, and that was for that same reason as above - using an impact on the other side.
Best thing is the ability to add these:
Makes it way slimmer than a regular rachet.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

I picked up a 20pc set of Gearwrench (Metric and SAE) for $50 from Sears for the black friday special. I think the Gearwrench ones have less movement needed (5 degrees) to ratchet, so the really tight spaces they beat the others.

Read the quotes.
I do have a set of SAE and Metric flex head gear wrenches. They are a quality product, had them for 2 years and haven't broken one yet. Had a couple freeze up but I was able to unfreeze them easily

I received a set of these last holiday season:

I asked for them because I had no 17mm wrench for the transmission fill plug, and there was no room for a ratchet to get enough leverage, and an adjustable wrench keeps rounding the plug. I used the ratcheting side to break the plug (which was on there tight!) and it held fine. The only thing I wish they had was either an angle, or a swivel to allow angling, so I can reach tighter places. But, usually in those tight places, there is no room to ratchet anyway.
