I recently bought my self a set of combination wrenches with the ratcheting box ends. I think that I paid about $60 for a set made by Crescent. I love them. They've almost supplanted my ratchet and s

Larry the ratcheting wrenches are the ones I reach for. They are the best thing that has happened to tools in a long time. Larry Hoy /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at h

I love mine too. I got a stubby set about 1/2 to 2/3 the regular length. Helps to get into smaller area. /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive

I have had sets from Gearwrench for about a year. I absolutely love them and I reach for them before socket or standard wrench. I paid $40 for each set during a sale at Sears and I wouldn't trade the

In an amazing example of synchronicity, I saw an ad in today's paper for a set of 5 ratcheting box combination wrenches on sale at Sears, for $40 rather than the $80 list. -- Girling is not a verb. l

Same here, but they do have a 'Gotcha!'. Some tight spaces you can get them on, undo the nut so far, then not get them off the nut nor be able to retighten it in order to get it off. Once or twice I'

Good point Paul. I had that very thing happen to me. I almost felt the wrench was going to have to be a permanent part of the car. That issue might be a good reason to purchase the type that has the

Then it is a good thing that Sears currently has a five piece reversible set on sale this week. Product # 42408 advertised as $39.99 (SAVE 50% off orig price of $79.99) AFAIK, these are just GearWre

I think the Craftsman has the little lever to change directions. Gearwrench you flip over. At least, that's the way it was when I looked at them. I figured it was one less thing to break and that a o

GearWrench produces both style units, reversible (with the lever) and non-reversible (the kind you have to flip over) wrenches. Craftsman does carry both styles as well, although as I mentioned, I th

I have a little tip that not everyone picks up on here. If you look at a Gearwrench (without lever) the open end points one way, which ever way that end is pointing is which way the fastener will mo
