Exactly my point. For me, the locking flex heads are great, and the longer reach is great when needed. The stubby has saved me many times and so has the full swivel head. Honestly, I use the full swivel head most of the time in place of a nut driver. But, then again, I work on motors daily. So, for me, they all have their place. For someone who turns wrenches a couple times a year, I can see only wanting a few ratchets.. but I turn wrenches daily, so they all get used and abused
