GEAWRENCH 12 Pc. Gearbox XL Ratcheting Wrench Set, Metric - 85988

The frustration of not being able to reach tight, elusive bolts and nuts in those confined spaces is a common woe for anyone who's ever dabbled in mechanics or DIY projects. That's precisely why I decided to give these XL wrenches a try, and I must say, they've been a game-changer in my toolkit. The standout feature of these XL wrenches is their exceptional length, which is a true blessing when it comes to accessing those hard-to-reach fasteners. No more contorting your body into awkward positions or straining to get the right angle. These wrenches provide the extra reach you need, making even the most inaccessible nuts and bolts suddenly accessible. Durability is another key strength of these wrenches. In the world of tools, longevity is a quality that's highly prized, and these XL wrenches deliver on that front. They are built to withstand the rigors of regular use, and their construction exudes a sense of reliability. Whether you're a professional mechanic or a weekend warrior, you'll appreciate the sturdiness and longevity these wrenches offer. One of the standout features of these wrenches is their solid ratcheting mechanism. It's not just about length; it's also about efficiency. With a reliable ratchet, you can quickly tighten or loosen fasteners without the hassle of repositioning the wrench repeatedly. This feature saves time and effort, making your work much more efficient.

Good set, the chrome finish does appear to be thin

Excellent quality . . . Love the extra length!

Needed something reasonably priced for reaching nuts and bolts in tight spots with little swing room. Good quality and they work well. Better price than Icon. Used by a dealership technician while replacing the "Lovely, Easy to Repair" GM 3.0 Diesel engine.

I absolutely love these wrenches. The set I received was made in Taiwan. A set of wrenches from Gearwrench I received about 1-2 years ago was China made, and the wrenches are absolutely horrible. These wrenches are more like the older Gearwrench ratchets, a quality and straight wrench. Straight is no joke, the China wrenches often came with a banana type shape when looking at the end-to-end. I have three Craftsman 26 inch toolboxes. Nothing professional, but I am a DIYer and have no need for the more expensive boxes. The tray the wrenches come in is about 1/2 inch too long to fit vertically in the drawers. The issue exists with all three of them, from an old 80s style, to the 75th anniversary box to a normal about 2000-ish box. This has no impact on wrench performance though, so I did not even reduce a star for this. The wrenches themselves are great. The non ratcheting box ind has very thin walls, which if it were not for a lifetime warranty, I would complain about. I do see this helpful in allowing access in the very tightest of spaces. For the reason I purchased this, and I Am sure the reason most others are looking at this, the length of the wrenches is about perfect. I have worked on a few Asian cars now where the bolts are very close to the fenders or other parts of the car. It makes getting a socket and ratchet in there nearly impossible. The length and offer of the non ratcheting box end make this a perfect wrench in those situations. If you need wrenches that provide greater access due to length, give these a shot.

Zero issues with this long set of ratcheting wrenches. I did see that there were some gaps and cost was good so I got the set and filled gaps as needed. I think the company could fill the gaps on the low end and have people fill at the top... that would be customer friendly. If you need a 10mm, or 12mm plan ahead.

These are some of the most handy wrenches I've purchased in years. The long reach and extra leverage definitely helps with those pesky nuts and bolts. Thw slim ratchet head makes it easy to fit in tight spots and the offset box end gives you the the extra clearance to loosen or tighten any fastener. A must for every tool box.

Love gearwrench, good quality, good reputation
