Anyone know of a manufacturer who makes a 1/4" x 3/8" flex handle like this?

Williams makes the one in the photo (P/N 11920) but it is 3/8" x 1/2", I'm looking for a 1/4" x 3/8".

Any luck finding a Stahlwille Part Number? I'd like to find a 1/4 x 3/8 or a 3/8 x 3/8" as well.

I did not find a Stahlwille part number yet.

I'm thinking about getting the Williams flex handle and then putting the end from a 1/4" breaker on it.

I'm suprised Snap-on and Williams don't make the 1/4" x 3/8".

making your own seems like a good option, though it appears Williams has differently sized bar ends on the 11920.

I would like to see the Stahlwille part # also. I stumbled on the Williams flex handle awhile ago and thought it would be more useful in 1/4"x 3/8" form in my motorcycle toolkit. I searched all the German tool makers websites , even Saltus who invented the original flex socket type wrench and couldn't find one product that had the drives on each end like the Williams. The Wright item that a member linked is the only other US made one but it is 1/2" drive on both ends!

Looks like Stahlwille has a loooongstanding patent history on it.

Got a link ? A patent on what? The flex wrench like the Williams with a drive on each end or sockets on each end? Stahlwille doesn't show one like the Williams item on their website either the English or German website! Alot of tool makers make flex wrenches with sockets on either end . IMO a Williams item would be more useful because you could carry one wrench and the sockets you need instead of a lot of wrenches. The Teng Tool item you linked is interesting but as far as I know they have no US importers.

Epstein's carries (at least they did carry) the Williams 3/8 x 1/2 version and they identified it as made in Taiwan.

The Teng tool version looks interesting too. I use the ASV 1/4" and 3/8" Y handles and I think a flex handle with only two sockets would be handy too.
