Thinking about getting a set of flex head ratcheting wrenches. I have fixed Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches now and like them. Open to other brands too, probably trying to stay in the $150-200 price point or less. I've only found one set that locks - I'd probably prefer that, but not sure if that's useful in the real world or not. Looking at metric - want something that starts at 8 or 10mm and goes up to at least 19mm. Would prefer something over 72 tooth but if that's all I can get that's fine. Thanks!
Flexhead ratcheting wrenches?

Amazon Link I've heard good things about these but don't have any.
This set by MOUNTAIN is on my wish list:

I bought those 4ish years ago and they are awesome. I have the SAE set also.
For normal length and stubby I have Cornwell ones because the cornwell guy had them on a buy one set get the other free deal. Extra long I have gearwrench and snapon. I prefer the snapon ones to the gearwrench set but they are considerably more money. I moved away from gearwrench because lately getting warranty service has been problematic.
I’m not a big GW guy but I also have to admit their sets are pretty good. The best in that price range IMO. I have a set of Fixed standard length, locking standard length and long double box end, one side flex and the other side a normal box end. The latter being my favourite and most used by a mile.
I wouldn’t recommend the locking set unless you already have the others. The locking mech doesn’t stay locked and is a PITA, I only use them when it’s the best choice which is rarely, but nice to have when it is.
