IMAGE IS NOT ACCURATE

This is a good product although I didn't think I would buy it. There is no locking, so this is NOT a locking flex head. otherwise it's great, but the picture is very deceptive.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • I don't remember but something was

Not shown for power tools and hand tools

Warning, image is misleading. The figure shows a locking flexible wrench, but a conventional 10mm non-locking flexible serrated wrench was obtained. Searching through the dental key catalogue, I found that the locking key was part number 85610.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Slightly torn

It worked like a charm and I'm pretty sure it couldn't.

This is an absolute must for some Toyota suspension work, in my case a Land Cruiser 100 Series. It worked like magic and I'm sure I couldn't have done this job without it. If you search YouTube for "Brady Adventures Rear Suspension Installation" you'll see this thing in action.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

Flexible head makes it difficult to use

Purchased to replace a lost 13mm one piece ear key. Decided I might as well switch to an adjustable neck. Well that was stupid. The head has no locking positions and is very loose making it actually more difficult to use. Unless you have a very specific weird screw that you need this adjustable head for, skip this version and get going

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • No performance

Smart and strong best combination key

An ingenious invention that you cannot live without when working with cars. Fits and turns where sockets can't, and combination wrenches take forever to remove and reinsert hundreds of times. Yes, they're expensive, but they're stiffer than they look, and I found I only really needed 10, 12, and 13mm. Update: I also bought the 15mm. Even stronger.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I have no complaints about it, everything is fine

Excellent quality - good enough for professional use

I'm an accident repair technician and use GearWrench flex head ratchets all the time. 10mm is of course by far the most commonly used size. The flexible head allows you to reach places no other head can. Good quality, I've been wearing it for several months without any complaints. I see no point in buying truck wrenches when they work great for a lot less. A few other techs in my shop also use and love these wrenches.

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Band

One wrong turn for wrench

A wrench is a good tool and this one is good, but it does require some serious attention to hinge design. I love the versatility of the ratchet combo wrench. My only concern is that the loop on the combo end will loosen and dangle after a few uses. There doesn't seem to be a way to tighten it back up. This is especially annoying when trying to tighten the nut with a ratchet end and when you apply force the wrench moves over the hinge. There must be a way to lock the hinge in the desired…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Mostly fine, but...
