Yeah the sockets have similar looking lines just like the box end of the wrenches. I have a set of metric wrenches in the tool box I just use them sparingly. They will get the job done for sure, breaking fasteners loose before too much damage is done. I’ve only had one instance where it broke...
That is definitely the reason I was looking into Proto. I was wanting more of a daily use wrench that wouldn’t chew up fasteners. I’ve used the craftsman overdrive wrenches before and they do score bolts if it’s tight enough.

I’m in the market for some used Proto anti slip wrenches. Then I noticed that the new long pattern Craftsman wrenches look very similar in design. I know the V series are basically rebranded Facom. The Overdrive series are designed off of the Mac RBRT. These ones look like Taiwanese made Proto...
