Review on GEARWRENCH 12 Piece Metric 12 Point XL X-Beam Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set - Model 85888 by Bob Souza

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Same quality as pro tools at half the price

I use these guys at the shop at least once a day 2 years and never broken. Of course they are made in Taiwan, but it's better than China, right? In any case, the X-Beam design really helps to put maximum force on the nut/bolt without hurting your hand, and the longer length helps a lot too. The tip of the ratchet box is strong and can be used to break nuts. My peers with branded tools told me I can't help but break them. So the last 2 years I defied them without any problems. Very durable parts, good chrome plating, worth every penny and CAN be used daily in a professional workshop environment.

Pros
  • FEATURES: 72 tooth socket requires at least 5° to move fasteners compared to 30° for standard wrenches
Cons
  • Large and bulky
