You get what you pay for

At $116 plus tax at the time, I jumped at buying them. However, I realized that $9.00 for a wrench isn't bad at all for something of high quality, and I've had good luck with gear wrenches in the past. I work as a mechanic and use them at least every other day and I really like them. The longer than usual size is a plus and I've considered getting flex head wrenches of the same style, but the straight design and fewer moving parts make them more reliable. Another plus is that there are no missing sizes - my usual pet problem when buying metric tools. I haven't had any issues with it so far and would definitely buy it again! I recommend keeping the ratchet as clean as possible after a long day at work, as I've seen ratchet wrenches freeze in the past due to dirt sticking to the mechanism.

Pros
  • Size is conveniently stamped on both ends of bar for quick identification
Cons
  • There are problems
