i think ive only ever seen the fixed head versions, dont see why they wouldnt have released one when theres a blue point and a williams version they can just put a Snap On emblem and charge a little extra.......(wasnt meant as a snap on bash at all)

edit; use the bluepoint/ williams wrenches as a baseline for a snappy version

Snapon doesnt typically re-label wrench's or hardline tools. They probably havent seen any demand for them. Im a die hard snap-on user and i dont even buy there ratchet wrench's just too expensive. Gear wrench brand is pretty good quality for the price.

I am 99.9% sure they did. The reason I know is that three and a half years ago, my buddy/coworker got this guy a job as a mechanic at our company. Well, one day I was helping him fix a boom forklift on the job site and he was using them. I made a point of saying "holy sh*t, those are nice. How the hell can you afford them?" He responded with "I make my living with these, so I don't mess around." A little background on this guy. He's kind of a goon, but with a good heart. My buddy feels sorry for him because he and the other kids in the neighborhood picked on him as a kid, so he helps him out. He is one of 17 children. He looks like the Unibomber, nasty scraggly beard and all. He looks, smells and has been homeless and has never made more than $10 an hour. All this, yet he has a huge set of SO tools and SO box. I was making pretty good money as a Mason labor and could only buy CM or swap meet SO stuff. I guess it is all in your priorities. SO owns him. He even once had a SO leather jacket repoed. Kind of funny, I feel sorry for the next guy that bought it. So yes, unless my memory is failing me, he had them. Sorry for the hijack. Oh, if you are interested, sometime ask me about what he did with maple syrup and dogs. The dude is messed up.

My snappys are fixed 15' offset reversible and the bluepoints are flex. I'm leaning toward they didn't make them in flex but I don't know for sure.
