Which wrench brands have some form of anti-strip open end (Flank drive plus)

Proto, snap on, blackhawk, williams, blue point, mac....
In this list, which ones have it?

Mac calls it "anti-slip"?
SO calls if FD+?

Do Williams have it?
Blackhawk?

If shopping online with no close up photo,
how can you tell if the one you're looking at has it?

wright has a fairly aggressive implementation under the name "wright grip"

my williams supercombos have what i consider to be a very "mild" implementation of it.

you either need a decent enough photo of the open end to discern if it is completely flat or not, or refer to manufacturer spec.

Snap-on Industrial Brand JH Williams 12-Piece metric reversible flex head ratcheting Combination Wrench Set has a flex head that pivots 90-Degree in either direction for access in tight areas and a fine tooth design with dual pawl mechanism for extra strength. There is a high polished chrome finish that cleans easily and the ratchet lever is easily accessible for quick direction changes. There are recessed corners in the ends that provide extra turning power. The size ranges from 8 to 19 millimeters.

Do you think that means some kind of Flank Drive?

Maybe this recent thread will help.

Not flank drive but similar. The DeWalt wrenches have a really decent set up at a reasonable price. I have a set for those times when only two same size wrenches will get the job done. Very nice not snap on, wright, mac, matco, proto or blackhawk nice but they crush craftsman and are available in the same aisle lol. I think they are around 60 dollars for a pretty complete set in sae or metric. Good deal.

Proto wrenches also have their version now and seem to get good reviews but a jump in price for sure. Blackhawk I'm unsure of, haven't used them, but blackhawk has hands down the best deal on badass sockets. I am a snappy fanboy and like my dealer but I won't buy sockets off him as long as the blackhawk sockets keep their price right.
