Worth noting perhaps, that Sears sells effectively the same product but in
two different forms. They carry both GearWrench brand, and Craftsman. I
like the GearWrench ones; in fact I just picked up a partial set on flea-bay
(which still had the 4 sizes I use most, 7/16 - 5/8) in addition to the 4 or
5 sets I already have (except for the long flat 7/16", which I think got
left in a parking lot in Tulsa). The Craftsman ones are thicker.

Hard to say from an illustration, but I don't think the ones shown in the
document above are any thinner than my flat GearWrench ones.

But the reversible angled ones are thicker. (As are the really cheap ones
from Horrible Freight.)
