Never mind, I might have answered my own question. As best I can tell the only difference is the open end is thinner on the high performance. 6mm vs 7.5mm on the 17mm

Anyone know the difference between the hi performance and super torque? One is for automotive and the other heavy industrial but what is the actual difference? They look the same?

Here our best bet would be the Sidchrome 440. Same design as Facom but longer and with a chrome finish as opposed to the Facom satin chrome.

Thanks guys. A factor is location, they are still pretty cheap here in Australia and craftsman, channellock, carlyle and icon are more expensive.

Hi all, Hopefully this is an easy one for some of you in the know. Looking at Toptul wrenches and there is not much in the way of detail on their site. Which of their wrenches, if any, have an antislip feature on the open end. And what are the primary differences between the standard, high...

Thanks, I would certainly grab some original SK but have never seen any here. I will possibly look into some wright at a later stage, hopefully I can get over to the states one day and pick some up. I would love to handle them prior to purchase but that is just not possible here. I have heard...

I had not found any here but assumed they must have been available overseas. Good to know!

Koken wrenches don't seem to be available here. Ratchets and sockets are. If you are talking japanese ktc is the best bet here.

They were on the list. I believe they are the same as our locally available sidchrome 440 as they are stanley black and decker. Good pricing on these here too. I have been meaning to drop into a local store to handle them. Might still end up in the tool chest depending on how they feel and how...

Thank you all so much for your input and suggestions, all appreciated. As much as I like the Wright, it is hard to justify the cost here. Rather than spending $450aud for the 15 piece set, I have ordered a 10 piece 8-19mm set of Hazet 600n at a cost of $165aud. The value seems better here in...

Honestly, y'all are the best. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, I love talking tools, please feel free to continue discussion! It seems like the right choice depends upon where you are in the world as is skews the value. I will let you know what I go with. Thanks legends.

I would be happy to hear from people who have both satin and polished wright and which they prefer.

Gentlemen (and ladies?) Thank you all for your input. I knew I would get some great info here. You are all legends as always.

Oh wow, that makes them more attractive for sure. Not gonna lie, things are fairly expensive here!

Thanks, there are some good points here. The price/value ratio is different here. All the taiwanese options are about half to 2/3 the price of American, German and Japanese in our market. And whilst I find taiwanese tools to be mostly decent I feel like treating myself!

Thanks for the input. Yes it is hard here as no one stocks pretty much any of these brands so holding them is out. I know I am over thinking it as they are all quality options.

Thanks for the input. Indeed the prices a couple of years ago are vastly different to now. How do you like the Stahlwille 14's? The profile/offset of the ring end is quite different. I was leaning towards satin with the Wright's. And I agree, there are so many quality options now but l can't...

Hi all, long time lurker here. First post. I am in the market for a combination spanner set. I am a diyer who spins the spanners 3 -5 times a week. I aim for buy once, cry once and am a tool lover. I am in Australia. I work on mostly Japanese and German cars but the occasional Ford and Holden...
