Anyone tried "twist shank wrenches" as seen at

http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPagebuilder.asp?gotonode=ViewProduct&method=mViewProduct&ProductID=5621&ignorepromotion=true
 
. (You may need to register first then search for AK634).

My worry is that the twist may be a weak point and I would hate to have one 
fail when exerting maximum torque. Still, the concept seems sounder than 
"aerodynamic hammer shafts". IMHO the snap-on stubby combination wrenches 
are about right. Strong enough and the finish makes them something that 
Captain Queeg might have fondled...

Has anyone else found that the snap-on multi-position ratchet F872MP is one 
of the great tools, in its own specialised field?
