THey will fit in where a socket sometimes wont and you dont have to reset the wrench on the bolt as you are loosening it. They are the first thing i reach for when something needs fixen. They have them in long,stubby,flexhead ect.
I have the box end ratchet wrenches for those hard to reach places that a socket won't fit. Also have the worm gear attachments for the around the corner nuts where a regular socket won't fit. I'll look into those though. A man has to have every tool available for those weird applications, huh? MAMA...."I need a new set of wrenches." Mama says, "no way Jose, until you get me a new dishwasher." Oh, well....maybe next Christmas.

My dad gave me a huge ratchet set of craftsmen tools that he found. I really like them and Kmart sells craftsmen tools so I will extend my collection. I am gonna buy these gear wrenchs.

I have the boxend ones and the craftsman ratchet wrenches but the gear wrench is in my opinion much better. My wife bought my first set about 8 years ago. She buys me shop tools I buy her cooking tools makes christmas easy

I dont know what to get for christmas. My dad wants to get me a sound system[:@] I am probably gonna get a compresor with the money from the Grandparents, but i am thinking about asking for some for tools and a big tool box for them. Or i can have them help me get my brakes. Although i do need a front suspension kit and leaf springs. shocks all around also. [:@]Decisions.

Here are some gear wrenches but i think they are off brand.

when i started buying tools i stuck with craftsman cuz they were cheap, when i started working at the dealership i bought snapon tools and fell in love, no one ive ever talked to can use a snap on ratchet then go back to a craftsman one, i even bring my snapon stuff home a lot of the times on weekends cuz my house set is still craftsman

i too have a lot of tools. Most of our tools are craftsman. Chainsaw, Drills, Saws, Screwdriver sets, a ratchet set or two. I have nice set of Alltrade tools that i use more than most, but i still prefer Craftsman only
