Craftsman  8 pc. Metric Reversible Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set

These wrenches are the best I've ever used in my life! They make any job very easy to do and are very helpful when working in tight spaces!

Took me over an hour to loosten the belt tensioning bolt with a regular box end wrench, took me just minutes with the Ratcheting Wrench to tighten it back up... The right tool for the right job.

Personally I do not care if this product is made in China or not. Overall a great little set and is highly beneficial. One of the best Christmas gifts I received. Only wish it came with a 9mm...

This is a great set of combination wrenches. I love how you can ratchet in either direction switching a lever without flipping over the wrench to go in the opposite direction.

Bought this set last week. I took a closer look at them today and didn't like what I saw. The opening at the open end is not as deep as the picture on website shows; more meat at ratchet end. All of this adds up to needing more room to get the wrench in tight places, and is a giveaway to the lack of inherent strength in the base metal. Then I performed my patented test for tool quality. Drop it onto a concrete floor. It sounded like I dropped a piece of plastic. Then I took one of my, USA, Craftsman combination wrenches and repeated the test. It rang like a precision tuning fork. What's wrong here??? I looked over the shaft, and there was no U.S.A. stamp. In fact there was no stamp at all for point of origin. Back to the container; flip it over, and there was the answer. "MADE IN CHINA" My god I just paid $80.00 for what ************** sells for $20.00. Oh boy, but Craftsman is guaranteed for life. Oh, so are **************'s hand tools. Now I am not cheap, and I will pay $100 for quality tools, but not for Sears to scam me with Chinese junk at the expense of American jobs. FU Sears, (Fully Unaware Sears,) They are now back in Sears hands.

These wrenches are incredible.  Witt the ability to never have to take the tool off a bolt these are a must have in anyones toolbox.  Birthday, Christmas, Fathers day, however you have to get these, just get them.  Working on cars mainly but also around the house, I cannot live without these wrenchs, the make the standard wrenches useless.  I am looking to get the crossforce ones too, but for now you really cannot go wrong with these.  I would and have suggested them to just about any, and even bought a few pairs for family.  Yes you will love them.

I found myself in that situation where a bolt is positioned practically out of reach, out of sight, and without enough space for a ratchet and socket. Worse, there was only enough room to turn the wrench about 1/8 of a turn, then pull it off the bolt, blindly reposition the wrench, turn another 1/8. It took about 20 minutes in the heat to get that dang bolt loose. When I realized it had to be done again, we went to sears and picked up this set. Whew!! I wish I had bought these years ago. What had taken 20 minutes has been reduced to a 2 -3 minute task. Some complained about theirs falling apart. I suppose when anything is mass produced there are going to be some units that are not up to snuff. Mine have been fine. I had to whack one with 3 pound hammer to loosen a bolt and it's no worse for the wear AFAICT. Now I'm jonesing for the cross force version.

I paid only $101 and change for BOTH metric and standard set shipped to my house! The wrenches are well built and reliable. Put a new water pump in my car the day i got the metric ones. Super fantanstic, wait for a good deal then buy them!

I purchased this set as a companion to the SAE set I have had for a few years now. The ratcheting feature is a great timesaver and makes difficult jobs in tight locations easier. Although this imported metric set seems well made and the equivalent of my older US made SAE set, I continue to be disappointed with the number of Craftsman tools now manufactured overseas. Overall, however, I would guess that this set will last just as long and is still covered by the Craftsman lifetime warranty. Highly recommended.

It is the best tool set I ever bought. It is extremely useful. I use it all the time in the shop.
