Do you actually ever use speeder bars?

A 1/2 speed handle is THE only tool to take the tension off a '95-'99 Olds Aurora serpentine belt tensioner

if you get really proficient with them.....

On a vertical surface you can almost spin a speeder in the palm of your hand as fast as cordless tool.

I really only use them on oil pans. Engine and transmission if they are out of car.

Does anyone make a flex head speeder currently other than Snap On? Just trying to look for some options - the SN4A / B were the only ones I've been able to find, other than vintage.

Thanks

Cordless has pretty well killed them.
My only problem with that is most guys do not know that the clutch on a cordless can be set at less than max.

I use them all the time for disassembly/pre-torque reassembly. Keep in mind, though, I almost always use hand tools over air tools for the stuff I work on as primarily I am working on stuff that I am not under any time constraints and usually the machines I fart around with these days are not in bad condition to begin with.

Not exactly - though I DO use a brace with screwdriver bits chucked up to drive/remove screws in the shed. I no longer have any battery powered drills and it's too much trouble to run a cord out to the shed for a few screws.

Nope. I use a flex head ratchet with the handle flipped up for those types of things.
