15 degree offset DBEs in metric?

[lardy1]

I have some nice lengthy ones in SAE but don't see a lot in the places I've looked for metrics. Snap-On has nice ten degree but just not even a chance I can justify that cost.
These will be for home shop use. Suggestions?

Unsure of budget, other than Snap-on is beyond the upper end.

Stahlwille 23 Corona:

Williams has a set that are good, but they are getting pricey. Pretty certain Proto has a set as well.

Proto or Blackhawk on EBAY. May have more than 15 degree offset but, the Protos are finished very nicely.
Capri and Genius have really nice, long pattern DBE wrench sets but, they're zero offset. Great for reach and applying extra umph.

I have a Williams set I made from singles. They work good when I need them. Normally I use a deeper box design. The box ends are a little chunky, but it hasn't caused me any issues

 

[lardy1]

It seems Craftsman made some in the raised panel design. Those can probably be patched together over time but I did that with SAE Husky (New Britain) fairly affordable but the Craftsman on Ebay is ridiculous. I really don't want to go that route but haven't ruled it out.

The Williams are also outside my budget, unfortunately.

Apparently this style isn't very marketable because, other than the zero offsets, the Asian brands don't seem to be offering this. Or many options in long pattern combinations which is where my thinking began but the open ends are beyond redundant.

Thanks guys.

Just a thought, you can buy low profile 12pt sockets, and put them on a ratchet for a similar profile. OEM tools makes a nice set.

Stahlwille or Hazet, maybe?

VIM DPW100. These are extra-long. Skips 9 and 18.
I dont have them, but I would consider if I needed a set.
Could be had for around $100 if the cards are played right.

Amazon has a Wright 13 x 15mm for about $27. Not chrome plated though.

I have snapon, the old craftman pro, stahlwille and hazet. The stahlwille and hazet are much superior even compared to snap on.

Wright double box wrenches are trash.

Baffled by Wright marketing...

Imagine my surprise to learn that there is no such thing as a "set" of Wright Metric box ends. Yes, all the tools are made --from 8mm to 24mm-- and that's a great size range, but no sets. Really? Is metric not popular enough yet to justify a set? Are they waiting to see if this metric fad passes...

There was a thread on this a few months ago, specifically looking for a Snap On substitute. After looking at all of the options in the thread, I went with the Stahlwille 23 linked above. There are all sorts of options for long 0* DBE, but OP specifically said 15*. Yes, the Stahlwilles are 10*, but that's closer to 15 than 0.

I was going to recommend Snap-on, but that would've been impolite and uncouth.

The 12x14 would be about $10 before shipping. How about KTC?

No, it would've showed lack of actually reading the original post where he ruled out SO because of price.

Here’s the Stahlwille 23 offset compared to some other wrenches for your reference .. top to bottom, Icon zero offset wrench, Snapon FD, Chinese Craftsman RP, Stahlwille 23, Stahlwille 20. All 17mm, all as close to vertical as I could get them

I have the VIM drain plug wrench set. They are unique in that it's not just boxed end that's angled but, an inch or two back is angled. They're at work so, I can't show you what I mean. Really nice wrenches

The KTC M151 is too short for me and only comes in 10x12, 12x14, 14x17.

Many times when i wanted a unique wrench for a special purpose i made one from a standard wrench with an Oxy - Acetylene torch and a grinder.

These look interesting (as well as affordable) to me but they provide almost no information as to sizes and lengths of the units. Does anyone have these that can provide some info?
