New Design Snap On Locking Flex Head Ratchet Vs Matco 88 о I like both. the matco locking flex mechanism is better because when you unlock it it stays unlocked. if you always want it locked at whatever angle, the snap on is good. matco has a thinner head. i think snap on ratcheting mechanism is smoother. get both! in 1 4, 3 8, and 1 2. 1.
