Review on 6-Piece 8-19Mm DURATECH Extra Long Flex-Head Double Box End Ratcheting Wrench Set | CR-V Steel With Pouch by Jason Bellman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Liked 'em Better than OMT

Despite being a little smaller and thinner than the OMT wrenches, then craftsmanship looked and felt better. The OMT wrenches were deformed and the chrome was peeling off.Pros: ratcheting mechanism was smooth and they look great. They felt more comfortable in the hand because they have a smooth edge (not as square as OMT's). The quality of the bag was better than expected.Cons: Loose heads (the OMTs aren't any better in that aspect). The screws are torx-shaped and broke several of my torx bits (as least the screws are strong). Tightening the screws doesn't improve the floppiness (it didn't work in the OMT wrenches either). I guess they just would have had to be manufactured with more precision.I would have gotten the tekton if they were available, but these cheaper ones are plenty fine for now. Use a breaker bar or combination wrench to break bolts, then use these to do the rest; they're not breaker bars!

Pros
  • Great Price, good wrenches!
Cons
  • The sizes of the wrenches can be confusing and difficult to differentiate
