The Titan Long reach flex heads are by far my favorite ratchet of all time! I personally have the 1/2 inch and 3/8 versions, and they are my go to ratchet for 90% of my work! Would not recommend enough!
Titan is a great budget friendly brand of ratchets. Do you happen to have their micro roto head ratchets? I love my little 4" and 7" versions when working in tight spots (interior of car and also many times under the hood to reach small fasteners that hold sensors and electrical components).
I've relatively recently started building up my tools to do things myself in life, recently got a long-overdue socket set from Tekton and some of their Outlet-Discontinued swivel head ratchets, and I cant get enough of those things. They're just so easy to curve around obstacles and get into tight areas with little room. I've ordered several so far. The only thing I dont like about them is if they're a Quick-disconnect (like the Tekton ones), they likely dont have a way to disassemble them for maintenance; Icon and Snap-On ones do, if I remember correctly, but the Tekton ones were so dead cheap that I can overlook it. I also put in an order for one of their 1/2 14-inch flex-heads, since I wanted to give one a try as my potential go-to (since everyone I've talked to tends to end up treating them as their "Main" ratchet); I know you've said it (and I've agreed) that they aren't as _overall_ useful as the swivel-heads, but they do apply torque a bit better in specific positions, can reach slightly different tight areas, and are also able to be disassembled easily for maintenance, so they do have advantages.
Depending on the circumstances, a flex head might be better than the roto-head. Really just depends what you're up against and which can get the angle and torque needed. Cheers to you're tool building journey, my best advice is to avoid junk brands and impulse purchases. I have a small shop so each tool is methodically chosen. Thanks for watching, cheers!
I was wondering if anyone would ask about that...it's a grip that I reused from a Pilot G2 gel pen. Fits like it was made for it and really helps get a little extra traction on that stubby handle.

What kind of grip did you put on that stubby milwaukee rachet?
