Why a Flexible Shank Is a Big Deal for Tight Spaces
Think of the flexible shank like a bendy wrist on your favorite multi-tool — it lets you twist and turn around corners and into tight spots without straining or needing to reposition the whole tool. This flexibility drastically reduces hand fatigue and gives you the precision to work where rigid tools just can’t reach, like inside delicate castings or recessed crevices.
