I recently bought this Urrea wrench set. It's a 15 piece set.

The set arrived today. I have to say I'm pretty impressed. The wrenches are a good length. They're longer than SK or Craftsman, but not as long as the newer Proto Anti Slip wrenches. They also have a nice finish.

Urrea used to be affiliated with Proto, so many of the tools are similar. These wrenches are no exception. They are nearly identical to Proto wrenches of a certain vintage.

Overall, I'd say not a bad deal for $70 shipped. I can't comment on the long-term durability, but my first impression is that they are well made.

Here is a link to Urrea's US website.

We had those mexican tools at the freightliner plant,they were pretty good for mexico,we had wright,and armstrong then they started getting urrea i assume because they were cheaper but since then my job went to mexico so i have a little distaste for anything made in mexico,i probly wouldnt buy them for that reason alone but they were decent tools.

its simple before garage journal i hadnt heard of them and tho they looked nice so does a lot of the **** at HF and i pass on quite a bit of that too.

in reguards to the OP's question, i got them to replace the raised paned cmans i keep in my trunk. havent used them yet but they seem to have a nice fit n finish... bonus and the roll.
