Looks like Astro 78318 long flex head wrench for nano sockets are back in stock. I placed a backorder back in October and arrived yesterday.

Kind of depends on what you're looking to use the ratchet for. I have a number of ratchets of different length, including SO 18" flex head. I use it where it's reach is useful or when I need the leverage to break a bolt loose. If you're looking to break some bolts loose 18" or 24" is perfect...

Ha!! Maybe!!

So here is the finally list. The wrenches with * haven't arrived yet. Once they all arrive I'll share my initial thoughts. I liked @Fedwrench suggestion about Advanced Auto, it got me thinking about other auto store brands. They are easily available and we've all used them in a pinch when...

Unfortunately this isn't even all of them!!!

I'm not brand loyal and buy a variety of hand tool brands. Bought hand tools from Milwaukee, Williams, Capri, Duratech, Vessel, Icon, Tekton, Gearwrench, Blackhawk, Channel Lock, Pittsburgh, Neiko, Sonex, Craftsman, Mountain, Bondhaus, and SnapOn to name a few. Fit and finish of the tool is...
