Ed;

 

True but which side of the wrench is "righty"?

Benn; Try COSTCO; I have a set with open-end on one end and a ratcheting box
on the other-- works great but they forgot to label the sides "ON" and
"OFF". Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ -----

[Land-speed] ratchet wrenches Looking to get a set of ratchet box-end
wrenches. It would seem that besides a fine-tooth ratchet, one would want
the smallest possible head diameter (the thinnest I've seen are about 3/16"
total wall thickness including the moving socket and stationary outer wall).
Some of the cheaper sheetmetal-sandwich types have horrendously large heads.
I also want units that are reversible, so that they can have the fixed
angled offset. I'm not hot on flex-head types, which always seem to move
when you don't want them to. And just to make it tougher, I probably can't
rationalize a $100+ Snap-On set. Recommendations? Benn Land-speed mailing
