We have the reversible kinds too. They're the handiest things since sliced bread - except for the few places where you need the thinner wall or extension of regular sockets. Our sets are about 3 or 4 years old now and have seen a LOT of use with no problems. ~Juliet

My F-in-law got me a set of the non-flex ones for Xmas one year and they've saved my bacon more than once.

I have a set of both standard and metric Craftsman gear wrench. Mine are offset from flat, and reverse with a lever. Handy tool, use them all the time.

Many times a ratcheting wrench won't fit on, fixed is fine, reversible best.
Mainly use sockets.
