GearWrench Combination Indexing ratcheting wrenches need as little as 5-Degree to move the fastener as opposed to 30-Degree for standard box end wrenches. Patented indexing technology allows you to pick the angle you need depending on the situation. Just a push of the indexing button allows you to select 13 different angles. The box end features improved strength from GearWrench Surface Drive technology and at the same time, reduces fastener rounding. These ratcheting wrenches are made from premium alloy steel for a precision, long lasting tool.

I’ve had the double-ended metric set of these for a couple years and they are great for really tight spaces where there’s no room to get a ratchet onto the bolt or turn a normal wrench very far. I’ve seen reviews for this type of wrench that are very negative saying that they don’t hold up. I’ve used the metric wrenches quite a bit and have no complaints. Keep in mind that I never break a bolt or nut loose with these wrenches – the joint just doesn’t look like it could handle putting full torque on it. Maybe it could, but I always use a regular wrench to start the fastener turning. The best feature of these is the piston action. Unlock the pivot and use a push-pull action to turn the fastener almost 1/3 of a turn at a time. This is a huge time saver in a tight spot where you normally could only get a short bit of turn before having to reposition the wrench or where you can only get a click or two of a regular ratchet.I only put quality at 4 stars because the pivots are not as smooth as the double ended metric set. And only 4 stars for value just because over $100 for a set of standard wrenches makes you think hard before buying them. When you consider the time and frustration savings in the situations I described, $100 is worth it if you are like me and always have a car or motorcycle torn apart. The only reason I waited a couple years between getting the metric and standard wrenches is because I’ve been working on my German and Japanese motorcycles recently and am just getting back to working on my muscle cars, otherwise I’d have bought these within a week of having the metric set.

Half the wrenches were locked up. I had to break them loose by hitting it hard on the ground. Expensive wrench’s to be beating on first thing.
