I'm getting one from my dealer this week. I have almost all the other 14.4v tools. I'm hoping it is a winner. He has yet to get any of the...
Mac has and still does make double box end wrenches with a 10-15 degree offset.

I have a set of Mac Micro Turn wrenches and they look very similar to your Stanley...
They look a lot like some of my Mac wrenches. Mac is owned by Stanley. Hopefully they are of the same quality. ;-)
They are a good looking wrench!
Cornwell sells a similar set for about $130.

I got a flex locking stubby 72 tooth ratchet of the Mac truck years ago. They stopped carrying it. It began skiping a lot the last couple years and it is not rebuildable. I have found no exact replacement. I love that ratchet.

I'm a "Snap-on Guy", but Matco has a 15" soft grip 3/8 breaker bar. I already have a Snap-on 12" soft grip, but still looking at getting a Matco due to liking their grips and the extra length. Give Matco's breaker bar a look before you shell out the dough. Snappy's is USA and Matco's is most...
On the VW's I'm referring to, their is no tab. It is meant to be free spinning. You are correct it is not a high torque setting, but rusted, frozen bolts become "high torque" applications.
I understood the OP was talking about the pins that the caliper slides on. What I mentioned should be a...
I have ran into the same problem with rear calipers on a vw. Snap-on will fit where as Mac or a craftsman would not. I've never held a Matco wrench, so I can't compare. To my knowledge, Snap-on is the thinnest of the 4 truck brands.
As another poster stated, might look at some non-usa brands...
I would guess he meant to ask is it USA made or a Stanley off shore (Taiwan) product?
Too my knowledge, they are still USA made, but I could be mistaken.
