I've decided to start shopping for a set of these and trying to decide which features are best. I think the reversible with a flexible head are best; agree or disagree? Maybe I could get away with a flex head and just turn it around.
Besides, the no-name China specials, any brand to stay away from?

Get the ones with as small of an ........ for lack of better words, the ones that require just a few degrees (5?) of movement to engage the next tooth.
Work great for those small confined areas.
For home use, kinda hard to beat Craftsman. Always there when you need to replace one.

I don't know of any reversible flex heads?.The only ones that have the lever to reverse are the 15 deg offset the rest you just turn over.PM me what you want SAE, MET KDs are good lifetime and reasonable I ship nationwide

On Craftsman it reverses direction. But I have npt seen the ones that lock flex position. Seems like a good idea. Do you chnage direction bt flipping the wrench over then?
