I've got a set of regular length flex heads. I never use them in lieu
of a regular ratcheting box, and almost never use them at all. For
one thing, they're not reversible, which annoys the hell out of me.
For another, they're a little floppy. I've also got lots of (at least
8, all different) flexible ratchet handles, which work nearly as well,
and since I almost always have on out anyways, I'll just use it.
