GEARWRENCH8 Pc. 12 Point Open End Ratcheting Combination SAE Wrench Set - 85599

I waited years because I was unsure and folks would say they aren't everyday wrenches. Bullcrap, I've used them everyday this week! They are super tough and work great, they aren't a complete replacement, the open end only works on a 15° offset from the bolt head. That's fine 75% of the time I'm still using the open end. Get a set or two they are great!I feel the imperial is slightly improperly sized as the metric seems to grab bolts better. It's worth getting both sets

Got these specifically to use on althread and also situations where I cannot use the ratchets part of my wrenches. Gear wrench is always a brand to trust.

Was dubious but as a man with a tool fetish couldn't resist trying this. As you'd expect, the tools are well machined and finished. Apart from having to pay attention to the direction of rotation, the open end ratcheting mechanism is not very noticeable. Even though the sizing seems pretty accurate, I'm thinking the possibility of rounding over a nut or bolt head is about the same as with any other quality open end. It's a bit of a premium to pay for, but if you often work in tight spaces the ability to counter rotate the wrench instead of having to remove and replace it is a convenience and saves time.

A false advertisement! Even tho this is a nice set I was really hoping for the piston to be in the open end unfortunately that’s not what got. I would send them back but I’ll use them they still got a nice open end on them so just wish they had the catching open end

I use them about every week at work with out any problems, I mostly 5/8 for airline fittings and they have worked great. However, yesterday was the first time I used the 3/8 open end rachet wrench and it broke on its first use. I was bummed. It appears to be hit or miss with these from other reviews I've seen . Maybe a QC issue, I'm not sure, but I'll see what I can do about the warranty process in hopes of getting a replacement.

Despite any of the bad reviews i ordered them anyway because lets face it, open end ratchet wrenches is a very good idea. and hard to find. So ill start by saying that these are what you think they are i dont know why anyone would state they were'nt. And they do work correctly, however i don't think that I will use them to actually break a nut loose that's tight to begin with, I would start it with a regular open end and then use these to ratchet only. Still a great idea and a lot of help.

Great product! Feels strong and durable, I work in the automotive field and deal with all kinds of vehicles all day, gets the job done everytime! Sometimes even use it around the house,And the sizes they come in suit my needs, recommend this product to any hobbyist or professional!

The media could not be loaded. They won't take off anything seized or too tight but havn't had any problems on airline fittings. Good for awkward spots but do take 1/6 turn to lock into place. Ratcheting box end is nice as well, well worth the money even if you only get a few uses. Always grab them when I'm doing valve work under a trailer. I do wish I got the SAE set, up to 7/8 would be much more useful then 19mm.
