Flex head ratcheting box end wrenches--opinions?
Anyone use this this type of flex head wrench? I am going to buy a 19mm ratcheting box end for the caliper bolts.
Sears has a choice of regular and flex head.

I bought a set and used them when I dropped my engine last summer. They helped me get into some tight places and I'm glad I had them!

I have a set without the flex option that come in very handy. Sometimes the slightly increased side thickness of these wrenches can be bothersome in tight spots.

Useful in some situations but like Walt said, can be a little thick. Always good to have more tools and you will find yourself reaching for them over standard wrenchs because of their flexibilty.

I bought the exact set in plymouthcolt's photo about a year and a half ago. I use these tools all the time - they have proven themselves to be invaluable when wrenching on the Porsche (as well as any other project). The flex head provides some great maneverability that just can't be acheived with regular tools.
