Any one have and use these? I've got a set of Sunex swivels and about half of them have locked up or become super stiff on the 2nd or 3rd use. Looking for something that's durable and won't break the bank. If not I might just end up going with Proto or SK.

Been very happy with my 3/8s astos. They have yet to become stiff after about 10 months of daily shop use. The lack of collar is very nice. Typically when swivel impacts lock up and get super stiff, it's from sitting them close to max angle and just hammering on a fastener that isn't going to move. Above 15mm 1/2 drive is basically going the be required. I killed many a 17mm 3/8 swivel before accepting this fact.

They don't get used often, but I have sae and metric. Work great when I need them. Wish they were available in either deep or semi deep.
