I had seen these Toptul wrenches that had a similar open end and couldnt get my brain wrapped around what it was for until this review.

The guy who sells those is an *******...

I guess you're one of the 2.4% who are not satisfied. What's the story?

Sort of.

Three auction/negatives from the same buyer who happens to be on this thread.

Reading the back-and-forth posted in the Toptul thread it would be easy to side with the seller.

That said, the seller is an abrasive guy who's pretty full of himself.

Awesome looking wrenches, only downfall I saw was not having a ratchetting open ended side which are very useful as well.

Now that would be something!

I somehow was given one, not that impressed, don't know why. Mine doesn't ratchet, the shape feels strange but I imagine a person would get used to it.

I've bought from him, but no Toptul because I'm only interested in SAE, but other stuff he had. He's been perfectly fine to work with and shipped immediately and well packed. A bunch of folks jumped his *** on the Toptul thread about not selling SAE and wouldn't listen to his reasoning. I'd have gotten a bit abrasive too! He would have to buy bulk of each individual sized wrench (for example) and then put them together in sets by himself. Toptul doesn't sell SAE sets. I completely understand a retired guy not wanting to deal with all that BS.

Really? Does someone make a combo wrench that ratchets on the open side????

 

[Gmonkee]

Wurth does. Prepare the wallet well before asking price. They're art.

i never considered buying the joker wrenches, but this has me pretty interested in them! we use quite alot of wera at work and i've always been impressed. looking at the 12pt open end and the "capture" plate seems like it could really come in handy, might have to grab one of the common sized SAE sets.

Nice review!

I hate to bring back such an old thread but anybody else have any problems with these? I have their screwdrivers and love them but I was working on some aircraft Wheels and I bought one of the 5/16 wrenches and if I use the open and it slips.

Mine have been great, the open end grips very well.

i only have one a 13mm . got it to try them when i have the spare cash it will be a full set .

I handled my first Wera Joker reversible ratcheting wrench yesterday. Really impressed w the ergonomics and the almost tactile feel of the satin finish.

I may have to get a full set....but I'm running out of room on my wrench wall!

I do like the wrench but the open end on the 5/16 *****. I sent Wera a email but never got a Email back. So in the trash it went.
