I've had my square sockets for so long, I wouldn't be suprised of Sears
has dropped them. After all it's only "nuts" like us (bad pun intended)
who would ever ask for something like a 1/4 square socket!
As for the flex, I guess when I use then, I just naturally grab the
universal joint, so I forgot about that part.
 But you do have one big advantage;  Making a tool to do the job is
probably as much fun as actually using it on an LBC. 
 My Dad laughs at me constantly cause I'll spend a couple of days
figuring out how to make  a "tool", then a couple more hours actually
making it, when he says I could go buy the thing locally.
 Course, this is from the man, who, when he retired, took his long bed
Toyota P/U, removed the body, and proceeded to build mini-motorhome on
the frame.
