a silly question about 'flex'?

hi, i am asking another silly question, i think the difference between 'flex' and 'cable' is flex is flexible because it has a bundle of thin wires, in what situation we prefer to use 'flex' instead of 'cable'?

Anybody used these?? KNIPEX - The Pliers Company. - Products - (http://www.pliers-online.com) These or the dismantler tool? Just looking at them for flex when doing downlights... I know, I know...use Stanley and bend it but wonder if this will speed up without damaging inner cores?
