Great Wrench Set for your Cruiser (1 Viewer)

[Spike Strip]

Not really tech, I suppose, but just wanted to FYI for anyone who is in the market for a wrench set, either as travel tools or for home.

I bought these intending to have as a set of cheap travel tools to leave in the cruiser, as I wanted something better than the chi-comm Harbor Freight flavor, and was blown away by the quality of these tools (Taiwan) . I'd stack 'em against my snap-on any day. You get a healthy 8-22mm Box/open. Here's an ebay link, but also on Amazon. The Tekton socket set is excellent, too.

I have been buying Tekton the last few months to fill in and add to different tool sets. I have been very impressed with them.
Last purchase was ballpein hammers and they (if you can get excited about hammers) are awesome quality.

I was just looking at a flared wrench by them for hard brake lines. I'll go ahead and pull the trigger on that based on the feedback.

Bought a couple tools of theirs from Amazon and have been impressed. Just looked and found the set you are talking about for about the same price through Amazon (think a couple dollars cheaper actually) with Prime shipping. Has been added to my list of tools that I want and will eventually pick up. Also saw that they make a stubby set in regular combo wrenches as well as ratcheting end! While a bit more expensive, I like the set of cheap Kobalt ratcheting combos I purchased a while back.

The extended length is always a good thing on wrenches like these.

I agree that's a good set for fixed wrenches. But I have to add that with new technology there is a better
way to go IMHO. I have double sets of these, I can get them on sale at Canadian Tire for $60 a set.
I won't leave home without these.

Bought a 3/8 and 1/2 torque wrenches, been extremely pleased with both wrenches.
