I'm looking to get the fractional set of Williams reversible flex heads WS-1168RCF. (I already have the metrics, I like 'em!)

I'd also like to add to it to go up to 1". Am I correct that Williams does not offer reversible flex larger than 3/4"? I'm only finding the WS-1164RC set that goes 13/16" thru 1". I'm ok with this 4 piece set but if a flex version existed I'd opt for that.

While this will go unheeded, let's not ask "why do you want reversible, just turn them over?!" I'd encourage you to start your own thread for that repetitive debate.

I have GW flex heads up to 1". While I use the **** out of my metric and ones below 3/4", I pretty much never use the larger sizes. Being an equipment mechanic, I thought I had a real need for them, but don't. Just something to ponder.

I recommended a set of reversible flex heads to another member this morning. That's the best version you can buy IMO.

Aside from the BP equivalents it's one of the only sets you can buy in reversible flex. And the prices are so damn reasonable thru toolsdelivered it's hard not to opt for Williams. If anyone has an even cheaper source I'm all ears.

Did you check Amazon and Amazon warehouse? Wherever you decide to buy from, remember to check for discount promo/coupon codes.

Yep, Williams & Blue Point Reversible flex only goes to 3/4".

Really nice wrenches, recently bought a single 10mm reversible flex for work, and it's as smooth as my most nicely worn in Gearwrenches.

Alright thanks for the confirmation. Ordering soon. I also briefly tried to find some Kabos but they're hard to get here and I didn't dig hard enough to figure out if they even make 3/4"+ (or any fractional at all), plus IIRC they're all double box, which I understand but doesn't appeal to me.

No problem. I checked the Williams catalog, and also the Snap-on site, hoping you could fill in the blanks with some Blue Points, but no such luck.
