What I like about swivel over flex is that the swivel angle to the fastener remains pretty constant, while it varies with the flex. On the other hand, the flex fits in tight spots better. Even though I have pretty much quit wrenching, think I might go swivel in 1/4" and 1/2" as well...not $nappy tho. I'll confess to being a bit of a tool junkie, but I'm also a cheap bastid. Looking at Tekton, but those have the "comfort grip". Attractive price though. NOT Chinese...Taiwan.
