GEARWRENCH 16-Piece 12-Point Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set - Metric (8mm-19mm) for Automotive Repair, DIY Projects & Home Maintenance

Perfect for the garage mechanic working on motorcycles!This is the perfect set. It has everything that you need and has it’s own organizer for storage so it won’t be as easy to lose that one wrench that you always needGreat productI worked on my truck about an hour before I got so annoyed with these wrenches I was about to throw them. It's simple enough, you just flip the wrench over to tighten, flip it the other way to loosen with the ratcheting box end. Every time you pick the wrench up you have to hold the ratchet with one hand and turn the wrench with the other just to figure out which direction you have it, there is no indication on the wrench at all for tighten or loosen direction/side. My first effort to fix this design flaw was to spray paint one side, the same side on all the wrenches, the paint made it about an hour before it was completely worn off. I ended up taking my angle grinder to them and grinding a slight flat spot on one side, the same side, on all of them. Now at least I don't even have to look at the wrench or use both hands, I can just grab the wrench and feel that ground spot with my thumb to know which way I have it held. It would have taken no additional cost for GearWrench to do something similar out of the box, even a little arrow in the casting would have been better, but the best solution is a difference you can feel without having to see.I bought the "fullest" metric set they offer, its really annoying when you buy almost any metric set of tools and they skip a size, in this case they are complete till you get to 22mm, then they skip 23mm and just go right to 24mm as the next size. All metric sets you buy always do this and its insanely annoying. It wouldn't be so bad if no one in the world made a 23mm bolt, but that certainly isn't the case. What always seems to happen with Metric tools is the size the manufacturer decided to skip (for who knows what reason) always ends up being a size you need and don't have in your set.Seem to be decent quality, all my other GearWrench tools are as well, just wish they made them in the US instead of China. I did already have an issue with the 1/2" wrench in the SAE set I also bought at the same time, I used it maybe twice, less than 30 seconds of total use, light use I may add, and the ratcheting part is already sticking, something inside of the wrench clearly broke, it's certainly going to be cause for concern when I go to use the larger wrenches under significant torque.They are over priced however, you can buy the "cheaper brand" tools at the big box hardware stores on the shelf right next to these and they look to be the identical tool with just a different brand name on them for half the cost, unless you like paying extra for the same thing that has a fancier name on it.I really like gear wrench as a whole and these wrenches are no exception. The only problem was my 18mm came with a damaged ratcheting endVery good quality and excellent productI've had the set about 3 years now, and they're tired. Great to start off with, but plan on an upgrade within a couple years, several of the racheting ends have rounded teeth (heavily used ones) and the one on the 21MM completely fell out. Great set but doesn't hold up for everyday abuse. I could see them lasting quite a while for any DIYer though.First of all I hate when people write reviews about tools they just got in the mail. They're meaningless. Please don't do that.I bought this set August 1st, 2019 and today is September 30th, 2020 today. My review is thus based on a year of heavy DIY level use for my Land Rover rebuild. Right? This has been my only wrench set used for that purpose. They've been used very steadily and I've beaten on them.During the last year I've been working through a Land Rover rebuild which is first of all metric, with 6 and 12 point bolts of all sizes which are often rusted or huge or original or all the above. I've gone through the chassis, axles, hubs, the diffs, and pulled the engine, transmission, and the transfer box. Again this is the only combo wrench set used on that vehicle. If I have to use a manual tool it's this or a socket. The open faced side never gets used but the ratchet's have all held up extremely well. None have slipped a tooth or broken. No rusting or dust in the gears even with water or grease. The only maintenance they've gotten is being wiped clean before they're put away. I think a good tool is obvious when you instinctively reach for that tool instead of another option and I'm more than satisfied with the tools themselves.I do have an annoyance and that's the case. It's garbage and the smallest sizes always fall out. I'm giving it a 5/5 b/c people give 3/5 stars for dumb things and I am confident I've used this set far more than most people writing reviews here. Hope this helps.No es del todo bueno, tuve que usarla en el carro con la matraca aplicando algo de fuerza y se barrió, la base se plástico con el que viene se cae si se cuelga como vienen en la imagen. Hay que tratarlo con delicadeza.Weird enough, with the wrench set packed, if you count the numbers of wrench in the set, there are actually only 12 of those.......and i need this set for work on next day, means i can't just go though the return &refund. So i called the customer service, problem solved smoothly and nicely. But just for you to know, this situation happens and how to deal with it.And the ratchet mechanism works smooth. How tough? If i dont have no more complain, it means they are build strongBuen producto y a un buen precioGreat quality item, will last for years to come.The holder doesn't hold the wrenches when mounted vertically, so had to buy an aftermarket one.I started buying Gearwrench tools three years ago now and this complete metric ratchet wrench sets is another great addition to the collection.No matter what kind of tool you get if it’s marked Gearwrench then it’s a good investment and I stand by their products
