That thread isn't about whether or not they are recommended. It's about Proto mis-representing their products.

I never questioned or denigrated the quality of the wrenches is question; only Proto's business practices.

The ratcheting spline wrenches that I have seem to be of excellent quality. Just be forewarned, some of Proto's stuff may not be made in the US even though they represent themselves as a US manufacturer...and are somewhat less than forthcoming about the country of origin for their tools.

That's a DAMN good deal...If I had the money I'd buy them...Taiwan or not.

What was wrong with the other thread? I don't get it...

They are a US manufacturer...

I believe the black sets are Taiwan. It doesn't say COO on the wrenches tho. Anyways, Taiwan or not, these wrenches are top quality well above GW and I love the thinner beams. They also have the anti-slip design.

Yeah, I recently made exactly that mistake. The reversible ratcheting spline wrenches I just bought, and quite the premium price I might add, are made in Taiwan.

That's not to say they're not excellent wrenches.
