    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    If you go back in the thread a little ways you’ll see Icon was already recommended and did not (does not) fit the requirements / use case I have, bu appreciate the recommendation. Agreed! Either I’ll fill in the skips later or add another brand (Matco or KTC) that has comparable length if...

    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    No argument. These are definitely a "limited use" item, but I have the space and a similar set from Tekton, but need some extra length for some odd use cases. There's a couple engine bays that these are the ticket for. Are there other options, sure, but not as efficient. It's too bad the SK...

    Done! TONE it is! Just put my order in with my tool truck guy in Tokyo and I'll pick up when I get there. Thank you so much!

    Thanks Brother - this IS perfect! Sounds like we have similar inventory. I can grab some Matco used locally or get the Tone when I'm in Tokyo on the cheap. Would you recommend the Tone over the Matco - or - both? Thank You again, Jay

    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    Great idea! Mountain wrenches are the same length as the Tekton I already have, and looking for something slightly longer with a fixed 12 point box end (offset). Most Mountain sets I’ve seen are double flex offset. Agreed, but they’re also shorter than the Tekton I already have (see post 7...

    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    I think all the wrenches above are made in Taiwan, even the Tone. Snap-On, Mac, etc. may be the only non-Taiwan (Made in USA) versions I could find, but both Snap-On an d Mac were shorter than Tone, GearWrench, and Matco so not on my list. Understood, those aren't critical to me. I have...

    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    Agreed - especially if you're there and not paying the tariff / tax as well. Hard to beat that discount. The reason I didn't include Icon is due to the length, they're shorter than my current Tekton wrenches. If they made an equivalent to the Matco or Tone I would pick them up. ICON...

    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    Absolutely agreed on Tone, I'm in a slightly different position in that I travel to Japan routinely so I'm willing to take the risk on the breakage / warranty (if you can call it that). No argument or disagreement that these are relatively frequent warranty items, if there was an equivalent...

    Metric Extra-Long (XL) Flex Head Ratcheting Metric Box & Ratcheting End Wrench Set Help

    I think I've found the end of the internet, but want to verify and get the insight and advice of those who have experience. ). I'm leaning toward the Tone, but even with filling in gaps there's quite a few missing. Not a total deal breaker, but not ideal either. Open to any other ideas or brands...

    3/8" DRIVE X 3/8" Square Male Pipe Plug Socket Recommendation (Sunex vs Grey Pneumatic)

    Agreed, sounds like I'm all set. Worst case, I'll weld a little extension on and really get it out. Room isn't an issue from what I saw in the tech manual.

    3/8" DRIVE X 3/8" Square Male Pipe Plug Socket Recommendation (Sunex vs Grey Pneumatic)

    Perfect, I suspect its at 36 ft-lbs just like the factory set it at

    3/8" DRIVE X 3/8" Square Male Pipe Plug Socket Recommendation (Sunex vs Grey Pneumatic)

    That is my concern. The vehicle is almost 20 years old and I don't think its had the transmission fluid changed, and spent time in the midwest before relocating to sunny California. If I can't get the plug out with a breaker bar then I'll shift to an impact. I don't want to round the...
