Review on 8-Piece BULLTOOLS Extra Long Double Box End Wrench Set - Chrome Vanadium Steel Aviation Metric 8-24Mm With Organizer Box by Brent Rosecrans

I'm an older weekend warrior who can't justify spending tool truck prices for tools that will only get used infrequently. This set is a perfect answer for someone (like myself) who wants to complete his tool collection without breaking the bank. It is a very complete set (8 mm to 24 mm less the 23 mm) of xtra long double box end wrenches that appear to be sturdy with decently made and fitting 12 point box ends. And, they are indeed quite long. In addition, the sizes are deeply stamped rather than laser etched on both sides of each wrench making choosing the correct size easy even in dim light. Finally, the foam storage container is a nice touch, as it keeps the wrenches neatly stored within your toolbox with the sizes clearly visible (though it does take up quite a lot of space).That said, the finish leaves a lot to be desired. Clearly this is where money was saved in production. There are scratches and imperfections in the chrome finish on virtually every wrench, and, while it is inevitable that highly polished chrome tools get scratched during use, it would be nice if they arrived in better condition to begin with. Perhaps a better answer would be to use a satin chrome finish which would hide those imperfections better that the brightly polished chrome which only serves to highlight them. Finally, that same polished chrome shows every single fingerprint.Update on 11/5/2020 - Now that I've had the set for a while, I thought I'd comment further since I've had the chance to use it occasionally. As others have stated, these are not the best quality set available with lots of cosmetic defects on every wrench, however, for my purposes, they perform adequately providing terrific leverage and the box ends are of sufficient quality for my use. Is this a set for professional techs or those who will be using it daily.NO! What it comes down to is value and quality for a given price point. If you need perfect quality chrome and thinner walls on the box ends, than this set is not for you. However, to get there you'd need to spend greater than 50% more than what is being asked for for this set. For my purposes this set meets my needs at an affordable price that I can justify for the occasional use I give it. For those reasons, I still feel this is a 3 star product. You just need to be aware of what you are purchasing and what your expectations should be for it.11/03/22 - Now that I've had this set for a while longer, I thought I'd give my final review. First off, let me tell you that I gave away my 22mm - 24mm wrench to a co-worker and replaced it with one from Capri tools. The Capri tool wrench is significantly better quality in every respect, but I spent 50% ($30.00) of the cost of the entire Bulltools set for that single Capri wrench. I did this because I had been using the 24mm Bulltools wrench to remove the oil fill bolt on my smart fortwo and found that, while it did work, it was rounding the head of the bolt to the point where I replaced the bolt and began using a 6 point 1/2 drive socket with a 24" Snap on breaker bar. No more rounded bolt head. After that experience, I decided not to use the rest of the set unless absolutely necessary, so it sat pretty much unused for quite some time until I just recently replaced the transmission mounts on my 2007 Audi A4 Quattro sedan with Tiptronic transmission. If you're familiar with this vehicle, then you know that getting to the top bolt on the right side is a bit of a bear, with very little access room. In fact, though some DIY articles said you could use a socket and breaker bar, I found I didn't have the room for it even after I removed the heat shield over the front axle joint, as well as bending up the remaining heat shield directly on top of the mount bracket. The only tool in my arsenal that fit the bill was my 16mm Bulltools Xtra long double box end wrench. It provided the necessary length to both reach the bolt head and also provided the necessary torque to break it loose. I really don't know what I would have done to remove that bolt if I didn't have that wrench. So, it certainly was a lifesaver in this particular circumstance. And, since there is very little likelihood of having to remove that bolt numerous times (first time it was removed since the car was new), I wasn't concerned about rounding it off slightly. As I said in my previous review, these are definitely NOT professional grade wrenches, and if I were a pro tech doing this work daily, these would most definitely NOT be my wrenches of choice. However, for the money, I still feel they provide the weekend warriors out there with the ability to procure a very complete set of extremely long double box end wrenches for not a lot of money. You may not need them often, but they can get you out of a jam when you do need them, and nothing else fits the bill. Oh, by the way, the wrench I gave my co-worker is being used professionally to tighten the hold down nuts on a Car Liner frame machine (my friend is a heavy man in the body shop that I work in as the office manager). According to him, it's working perfectly.
