. They look well made. I hope I have better luck than you did . I like the concept and think they are neat. I did n't buy the standard as what little standard I use do not need close quarters tools .

I played around with them. Lock/unlock buttons are stiff but functional. I ordered gearwrench 85442 12mm indexing combo wrench from amazon for $17 and some change. Kinda puts a dent in the hot deal.

I anxious to compare the craftsman to the gearwrench. They look identical in pics. Gearwrench makes combos indexing similar to craftsman and double box indexing wrenches . I hope they aren't junk. I 'll post if I break one or obe falls apart.

Sears website said they are no longer available. People really scarfed all of them up over black friday weekend? Really?

Tend to agree. How many angles do people need?!?:lol: Use a friggin socket bro.

No it's just one of those tools where when you need it, you need it. They are useful just like any other specialty tool. I ordered after an experience where I wished I'd had them.

I agree, There is a nut on a powerstroke 6.0 that this is the perfect tool for. They joined the "once every few years" drawer.
