Review on SAE 12 Point Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set - GEARWRENCH 9312, 13 Piece by Anil Jaimes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These have paid for themselves many times over

First of all I hate when people write reviews about tools they just got in the mail. They're meaningless. Please don't do that.I bought this set August 1st, 2019 and today is September 30th, 2020 today. My review is thus based on a year of heavy DIY level use for my Land Rover rebuild. Right? This has been my only wrench set used for that purpose. They've been used very steadily and I've beaten on them.During the last year I've been working through a Land Rover rebuild which is first of all metric, with 6 and 12 point bolts of all sizes which are often rusted or huge or original or all the above. I've gone through the chassis, axles, hubs, the diffs, and pulled the engine, transmission, and the transfer box. Again this is the only combo wrench set used on that vehicle. If I have to use a manual tool it's this or a socket. The open faced side never gets used but the ratchet's have all held up extremely well. None have slipped a tooth or broken. No rusting or dust in the gears even with water or grease. The only maintenance they've gotten is being wiped clean before they're put away. I think a good tool is obvious when you instinctively reach for that tool instead of another option and I'm more than satisfied with the tools themselves.I do have an annoyance and that's the case. It's garbage and the smallest sizes always fall out. I'm giving it a 5/5 b/c people give 3/5 stars for dumb things and I am confident I've used this set far more than most people writing reviews here. Hope this helps.

Pros
  • These are some of the best wrenches made. Once you use these, you’ll never go back to non ratcheting.
Cons
  • The wrenches may not be suitable for professional use
