High quality wrench

Correct shape and hex for bolts to bleed brakes without removing them. High quality feel - you can feel it when you put it in your hands.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Frequency

Excellent wrench, durable, high quality

Have been using it for a year now, sometimes several times a day sometimes every few days, dropped many times, never had a problem with this tool. I've seen other reviews mentioning this tool will rust but never encountered it. Great wrench, high quality, better than chrome because it's stronger and won't break. recommended

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Requires socket

The tool is not the one in the photo. The plastic sign says TAIWAN. The tool itself is not factory marked (no USA or Taiwan). Heavy chrome tool. Should have sent it back but I need it for a quick brake flush. It worked, but I keep my bleeding clean with penetrating oil. Not sure how this will work with stuck connections.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Not sure

Not Made in USA in Brake Tools

Description says was made in USA but the key I received was made in Taiwan. The key doesn't even look like the picture in the description. The image looks like a black oxide key with precisely offset ends. I have a cheap chrome wrench with thick, bulky ends. Not suitable for its intended purpose - for unscrewing fittings. I do not recommend buying this key.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Weight

High quality wrench

As an auto mechanic, I use this tool every day and have not found a wrench that is suitable for more uses. Offset and steering angle are ideal for 80% of all vehicles. I also have this in Matco (renamed vim 5/16-3/8), also have most Snapon and Mac 7-11, 1/4, 90 degrees etc but this is my most used by far. I have used this a lot, there is no rusting problem as you still have to clean them of brake fluid after each use. Anyway, I prefer this finish because the chromed ones I have (snapon lol)…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Damaged
