Gearwrench 20-Piece Ratcheting Wrench Set, SAE and Metric # 35720

I paid $59.91 on June 6th, price fluctuates a little around $60, then jumps past $100 when the sellers change. Give it a few days and it's usually back in the $60 range again. Great wrenches. These are the less expensive type without a forward/reverse lever, and the box ends are straight, not angled but the wrenches themselves are Gearwrench brand and the quality seems on part with other Gearwrench tools I've had (which is to say very good in finish and durability). This set includes; Standard; 1/4" x5" long 5/16" x5.5" long 11/32" x6" long (waste of a wrench & a wrench slot IMHO) 3/8" x6.25" long 7/16" x6.5" long 1/2" x7.125" long 9/16" x7.625" long 5/8" x8.375" long 11/16" x9" long 3/4" x9.75" long Metric: 6mm x5" long 8mm x5.5" long 10am x6.25" long 12mm x6.875" long 13mm x7.25" long 14mm x7.5" long 15mm ×8" long 16mm x8.375" long 17mm x9" long 18mm x9.5" long So the smaller wrenches are pretty long for their sizes (a 5" long wrench gives a lot of leverage on a 1/4" fastener head) but the larger sizes are on the shorter side. I don't think I've ever seen an 11/32" fastener on anything I own, so that one is just taking up a wrench slot for no reason, and I would have liked the kit to include a 19mm (common for Jeep suspension bolts), but for around $60 I have no complaints. If you price these out individually, just a 5/16" gear wrench is around $7 so the whole set for around $3 per wrench is a good deal.

Super good price on really good tools with lifetime warranties. The only minor complaint is that the packaging is VERY hard to get apart. It would also be nice if they dropped some of the useless and duplicated sizes, (7mm & 5/16" is the same size as an example), and replaced them with something more practical, usable. See photos for pictures of the tool you need to do it the easiest, I think they call it Bull Nose Pliers. Hope this helps.

I have had these for about 2 years now and they get used on the regular. I wrench on my own project cars as well as my friend's cars about every 3 or 4 days (restoring and building on an old Toyota 86 over the last 2 months or so) and let me tell you, these things are worth their weight in gold! If you are used to using regular peasant grade open ended box wrenches then you need to elevate yourselves and allow yourselves into the light that is the ratcheting wrench.

Good enough for casual use and pretty nicely finished. In retrospect I would spend a little more and get the ones with an offset end and the lever for selecting direction. Being flat, and depending on turning them over for reversal these will be knuckle-breakers at some point. Plus, if you use them on a bolt head with a lot of flat surface around it you can't get your hand around the wrench and you drag your fingertips on the surface.

Overall not bad for the price. I would buy again, but I can't give it more stars based on the quality. The ratchet isn't very fine splined and there is a lot of "play" in the ratchet mechanism. Usually if your using this type of wrench, it's because you can barely get on the bolt or nut. Every little bit of play counts! You may find yourself in a situation with these where you can't turn the wrench far enough to "grab the next tooth" in the ratchet. I have one of their 3/8" flex head ratchets and it has a real nice ratchet mechanism unlike these. I was kinda hoping for the same.

I love these wrenches. The kit comes in Metric and us. They work great. can't say anything bad about them except for the packaging. Rather then have the wenches packaged against a piece of cardboard with plastic strips holding them down, It would be better if they provided a box of sorts. This thing takes up half the drawer space in my tool box. I should probably throw the display card into the garbage.

I was warned to buy a higher quality set of ratcheting wrenches. Well I’m glad I didn’t listen! These wrenches are great!! I’ve use them almost daily for months with no issues. Some I’ve put way more poundage on than I would think they could handle.. and none have broken or slipped! My only gripe is the heads are flat and no lever for gear switch. So if you get in a weird spot you can get the wrench stuck.

Worked great for my brake job. My only complaint is the handle is very narrow and cutting into your hand when turning the wrench to loosen or tighten a nut.
