Having beaten and abused many a 1/4 drive wobble and wobble+ extension - snap on is my universal recommendation, with SK coming in second. Both are tough, but I have broken SK, no snap on yet. Yet. Koken was okay, gearwrench a waste of time.

Snap on are 160 via the website, SK 40936 is 101 on zoro. I spend money on 1/4, my daily driver 1/2 extensions are all impact from sunex and HF mostly.

Really impressed with my 1/4" drive Snap On wobble extensions. I also have some SK 1/4" drive wobble extensions that I do not like nearly as much as the Snap On's.

Snap-On wobbles are great. I have the 1/4 and 3/8. They get used fairly regularly. I have snapped the head off of one of my 1/4 extensions. It was being used in a situation that warranted a larger drive size though.

Anyone tried the Capri wobble extensions?

I have the Capri in 1/4 and 3/8. I like them. I can see how some people would not like the ability to lock and unlock the wobble since it is such a small difference in position of the socket, it would be easy to have in the wrong position. I haven't used them too much to really say how durable they are or how much abuse they can take. The biggest thing I've used them on was spark plugs on a transverse engine where I needed to remove the intake manifold to get the back spark plugs. Plastic intake manifolds into aluminum blocks in a non-road salt portion of the country means I don't need much effort to get things to move, but I did like the flexibility that the fixed or wobble extensions did offer. I don't see anything wrong with their construction: they are straight, perfect chrome, and the knurling is a nice texture for my hands in the environment I use them in. All that said, I would use a non-wobble extension if I ever needed to reef on something to get it to move. I think of these as more of a nice to have in tight spots that don't need a lot of torque.
