Review on πŸ”§ DURATECH Stubby Combination Wrench Set: Metric, 12-Piece, 8-19mm, 12 Point, Chrome Vanadium Steel Construction with Pouch - Ultimate DIY Tool for Precision Fastening by Doug Layman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good keys but now I wish I had bought the ratchet version.

Great short wrenches for the price. I rarely use wrenches so I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I bought this kit because it had a 17mm wrench that I needed to remove the oxygen sensor from my bike. The cost of a single 17mm wrench was almost a third of the price of this 12 piece set, so I decided to buy a 12 piece set thinking I might need other sizes in the future. Looking back, I now regret not spending a few more dollars and buying a ratcheting version of those clunky wrenches. I recently bought a set of regular size ratcheting combination wrenches and really like the ratcheting feature. Once you've used a ratchet wrench, you'll never want to go back to a non-ratchet wrench. Ratchet wrenches work much faster, especially in tight spaces where it can be difficult to remove the wrench from the fastener.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
