KD Tools 86126 Wrench

The shipping was fast

KD Tools is pretty much GearWrench if you didn't already know. If you are looking for some extra long, zero offset, spline drive, flex head ratcheting wrenches, look no more. If you have never used a zero offset wrench before, once you do, you'll never go back. Being able to pull straight and not have to worry about the box end rounding off a fastener is a thing of the past. Add to that the length these have, and you'll have pulling torque for days. I'm not a professional mechanic, but have seen the price of these on the tools trucks, and dropped my jaw. The sizes that come with this are 10mm-19mm. So stop now and step up your tool game a little bit. Oh yea... They also have a flex head ratcheting end! The thickness you expect from a ratcheting wrench, but nice to just use it to finish removing that stubborn bolt. The flex head has just the right amount of stiffness to it so that it's not just flapping around in the breeze. Time will tell how that holds up. These are also the 120 tooth design to really help in those super tight spots!Pros:The length!Zero offsetBox end fits in tight spotsFlex head ratcheting endNo skipped sizesPrice120 tooth versionCons:Me wanting to buy more of these to replace my old tools

After 3 years some of these wrenches broke down. I filled the claim on their official site and I got my replacement. Now I have all of them in a good working condition.

Needed wrenches for tight, low-clearance, long-reach situations. Also needed for situations requiring higher leverage; using cheater bars or interlocking wrenches together for added leverage was marring or damaging my wrenches. So I justified my need to get an extra long ratcheting wrench set.I looked at Tekton, Mountain, Icon, and EZ-red sets but ultimately went with these Gearwrench. Main reason was that these wrenches have a non-ratcheting box end to break fasteners loose; the other sets were all double ratcheting box ends. Also, these wrenches have the tighter swing arc at 3-degrees, which becomes more important as the reach increases. These do use spline-drive like most of the other sets, however; I prefer the 6-point drive on the ratcheting box-end like the Tekton set.I deducted one star because these have the same terrible quality control that I've observed on my other Gearwrench and Husky (also made by Apex) ratchets, wrenches, torque wrenches, and sockets. Specifically dirt, scratches, smudges, dirty fingerprints, and small dings; also like my Husky wrenches and sockets, the quality of chrome plating in the broached surfaces is inconsistent.

Ok so pro Matco set that is around $570 vs. these which set me back around $260. The gear ratio feels identical and I don't use the ratcheting end to break stuff off in the first place so I'm not really going to say whether or not you can take a semi truck's lugs off with it or not but they are smooth and little amount of travel is needed for them to engage. I personally say they're a great product and gives a pro brand like Matco a run for their money. They are a little bit larger than the Matco ones in diameter but nothing that would turn me away from them. I've used them for a few weeks now and I've gotta say they are some really nice ratcheting wrenches! Would recommend!

I bought these from my Snap on guy about 3 or 4 years ago and have used them professionally since then. They are fantastic wrenches. The flex head is a life saver when combined with the extra length. Only things I've noticed: they aren't indestructible, I have two that have broken ratcheting ends ( cracked, locking up, but still useable and turn) and if you apply ALOT of torque, they with shave corners off bolts. That is during hard abuse though, and not normal use. Overall, everyone who turns wrenches should own a set of these. If they can put up with me, for years, they will last forever for a DIYer.

Honestly this set is one of the necessities in an automotive tool box. These are definitely my most used set of wrenches. Even the master technician has been “Borrowing” these wrenches a bunch that I told him to just get his own set. The only issue I have with them is if the hex fasteners you’re working on already have wear on the edges, you might have to grab another wrench because it applies the torque to the edges of the fasteners. Other than that, after a year of industrial use, I’m satisfied and they paid for themselves after the first week. If you work in an auto shop, just do yourself a favor and grab a set.

I have had these wrenches now for 3 months. I bought them to make space in my tool box as I had box Icon sets of identical wrenches. The Icon wrenches never once round a fastener no matter how rusted or tight it was in the hole. These wrenches are useless as they have rounded every single bolt, nut, stud, or fastener I have attempted to break free and remove regardless of which end I have used. I wish that I could return these as these are complete garbage. You can't trust these wrenches. They will give you a headache. Dont buy them. You have been warned.

Price reflects the quality!Wish I had bought directly from gearwrench though.I will not get warranty if they break or become damaged.

If your a mechanic or just a backyard do it yourself the wrenches will be worth every penny. Matco tools has the same but not as good. Theres are 90 tooth 4 degree theses are 120 position 3 degree and technically 60 tooth dual pawl but feels way better. For $350 these are half what other tool trucks want.

I bought this set to use for work and it came quicker than expected which was nice. Looks like a quality wrench set which is to be expected from gearwrench but I’ll know better once they get some good use.Only downside is it was missing the 11mm, and trying to get that size to complete my set is turning into quite the hassle. Not sure who is at fault or if this happens often but maybe it’s just my luck. Over all not happy with my purchase because of that.

very good spanner

The photos shows it comes with tray, very disappointing.
