LOL! I got a down vote for complimenting the tools.. wow!
I also love the locking flex head - wouldn't use a flex without a lock.
I have this set and have to call nonsense. The locking flex head is a plus, but it is not any lower profile than a GearWrench 1/4" drive ratchet with shallow sockets and in fact, I think it is a little taller.... and I know it is taller than my SnapOn set. Every tool has it's purpose, but apparently, this tool was not designed to be a "really low profile" tool.
Where this did shine is exactly as intended with the pass through that allows more than a deep well socket and includes the hollow extensions.
But, a locking flex head ratcheting wrench works as well and seems to have won the market with most box stores discontinuing the OP as they did the Craftsman version. If in a tight spot and you don't need the pass through, the XP120 with 3 degree click is nicer than this 5 degree that in comparison, feels a little clunky.

It's so light I can carry in my "do everything" pack and not have to decide "does this job really need five pounds of sockets on my back or not"?

I hate those F-in things. Let me guess, Chrysler product?
IMO, this set is WAY over priced at +$70.. this set is more like a $50 set that is on sale for $42.50 (15% off).

Totally disagree... this is a great price. The 1/4" fles ratchet, alone, sells for $36, and the one single adapter sells for $10 alone... and individual pass thru sockets, and esp that extension, can be pricey. So, yeah, this is a very good deal for Gearwrench quality.

Seems like a decent price. I checked Keepa and the 3Cs and the current price is on the low side.
Any thoughts? Thank you.
