Seeking some recommendation ref ease of polarity change on LC-LC fiber patch cords (types/manufacturers)

Been a [very] long while since my team last needed to do something with high volume of IDF connects, using fiber patch cords, and found ourselves in position to having to manually change polarity on a lot of patch cords, the day of deployment. The problem was that the team in the field had to rely on what the customer acquired, and no tools, with jacks extremely difficult to take apart, and also questionably re-assembled. I would like to get some good fiber patch cords, ASAP, with options to acquire both A-A and A-B types, and also - very important - ease of switching polarity, if need be (no fancy tools needed). I looked at Anixter's site, and the amount of options is overwhelming. Any practical advice, from what is available nowadays?

Edit: prefer OM3
