=====================================
Flexible adaptors appear in many socket sets / screwdriver sets and
they're almost all the same except the 'Snake' driver. Your money would be
better spent on a decent screwdriver set containing a flexible adaptor
such as this: http://lamats.co.uk/acatalog/JCB_60pc_Screwdrivers.html
Those I have are not particularly flexible and as others have said they
don't provide much torque (tightening power).
