I was recently shopping at Menard's and saw a Stanley tool set that interested me. It was a set of combination open end and ratchet wrenches. The ratchet wrench end attracted me because it was fine t

I saw a similar set, don't remember the brand, the 'demo' wrench was missing. Since you can grab one end of the demo wrench to see the ratchet action I suppose that it just to tempting to the slime b

Well, I don't share your enthusiasm for Stanley w/regards to mechanical tools, but whatever. No idea why they'd skip 7/16"... That said, GearWrench (KD Tools I think?) ratcheting combination wrenche

Not certain, but I think you were looking at the 'small' set and most American cars do not use 7/16". Menard's may not carry the 'large' set, but Sears, NAPA, etc. should have it. My Sears even carr

Stanley used to make some nice tools. They might even still, if they haven't moved all their operations to SE asia. I prefer the Craftsmen version, but the gearwrench ones are nice. Make sure you ge

I suspect they have good woodworking tools (they used to, back when I did carpentry in the summers in college), but I've never heard their name associated with any _mechanical_ tools... Like wrenche

I believe the GearWrenches, sold by the parent company, also have a lifetime warantee. Sears had a 5-piece reversible set on sale last week for $39.95 (50% off from $80). Of course, I forgot about i

Actually there's a shortcoming (IMO) of the reversible set. At least the GearWrench ones have a strengthening web across one side of the 'socket', which means you cannot slip them past a nut, or use

I believe you're right, but it's not "over the counter" at any Sears (you'll pay shipping at least one way and have to wait a month or more for a replacement), and probably doesn't cover abuse. Rand
