What brand Combination Wrenches grace your box?

[Gmonkee]

Wurth, Pretul, Truper and a spattering of good European brands.

But more DOE than combo wrenches by far.


I resell CM and SO for profit to buy favored brands.

 

[Sam'sAutoParts]

Metric: SK, Tekton, Sparta, C-man
SAE: SK, New Britain, Tekton,

Also have a few duplicate size and large sizes in Allen, Armstrong, Bonney, Williams, Snap On, Proto, Blackhawk, Bluepoint (USA), Mac, Kobalt (USA), westward, Genius.

Also have a few sets of GW ratcheting wrenches, reversible and regular.

Recently finished putting together a set of SAE SK RPs. Working on a set of metrics in the SK RPs. Also added a set of metric New Britain.

 

[Murphy4570]

Mostly Snap-On and Matco. I have a couple (as in two) Craftsman raised panel wrenches in oddball sizes (22 and 24mm). Have a couple specialty sets of old USA made Craftsman Professional wrenches, work well.

 

[DBendr]

Armstrong XXL SAE full polish
Old Urrea SAE satin (before they imported to the US)
Wrightgrip full polish SAE
Snap-On short pattern FD+ metric.
Proto ASD metric full polish long(ish)
Toptul XXL Metric satin

More but not "box worthy". Crusty old supercombos and stanleys etc.in a hand box and some hanging.

 

[nutsnbolts]

Snap-On, Mac, Craftsman, Proto, Plvmb, Thorsen, Armstrong, Gearwrench, Barcalo, Williams, and some really old stuff for nostalgia's sake that have no names, some don't even have the sizes anymore.

 

[Roberts210]

two top of the line sets of S-K's--one metric, one SAE, one lower quality set of SAE box end S-K's, and 23 Williams Superwrenches in assorted sizes.

 

[RRmech]

Snap-On (SAE)
KAL (Metric & SAE)
Fuller/KTC Japan (Metric)
Tru-Fit (SAE)
Blue Line (SAE)

Post a pic of the KTC if you get a chance. All I've seen is the crappy"stock photos" the retailers use.

Never seen Truper either. I've seen a few power tools and pliers but that's about it.
Mexico or Taiwan wrenches?

 

[DemoFly]

I have some older Pittsburgh RP Metric and SAE.
Stanley Metric stubbies
Kobalt long pattern Metric

The Kobalts are USA made. The Stanley stubbies are almost useless, huge tolerances and 12 point box ends...

Currently saving up for SK ratcheting x-frames and Gearwrench long pattern double boxes.

Some Craftsman, some Snap On

Taiwan made, Mexican brand. Good users if bling devoid.

I've got lots of different brands, but my "go to" set is still the Thorsen metric combo's I bought in '72.

Although the Stahlwille set of deep offset combo's I recently got from Jens is looking promising...

Are those those XV Snap-On looking wrenches ? I just pulled some from search here. These are different. Look heavy like a Supercombo

 

[DBendr]

Heres a Snapon

 

[928'er]

No, they are kind of a satin finish. I edited my post above to include a link to a photo.

These Nepros below are also made by KTC. It is their high quality line of tools.

 

[DBendr]

Gotta love Nepros. Those are nice enough to get body piercings and carry them around on display.

[MementoMori99]

[UltimatE]

Gear Wrench here. I was at Sears around Christmas time and not even looking for them specifically, just happened to walk by and saw them on sale for basically buy one get one free. Couldn't say no !

 

[Pumpman1968]

I still use the Craftsman RPs that I bought back in the early 80's. I pieced together sets of Craftsman Pro stubbies when Sears was dumping them out a while back. I also have sets of SK....................but I keep going back to the old Craftsmans that I've had since I was 15. They work well, clean up ok and just feel right in my hand.

I've also picked up a set of Gearwrench ratcheting combos a few years ago. Not overly impressed...................but they have earned their place in the box.

 

[armycw2]

Craftsman, Hazet, Stahlwille and Armstrong

 

[wombat31x]

None of the above I have Sidchrome and Stahlwille

 

[GeorgeFromPa]

Williams, Kline made by SK, Wright and a draw full of old craftsmen,herbrand and everything else scattered about

I noticed more times than not I reach for RPs over my much nicer Craftsman Industials or even ratcheting wrenches.
