I'm looking into getting a few reversible ratcheting wrenches and was wondering if there are any with a FD+ style open end? Preferably US made. I haven't looked too hard yet, but just searching ASD Ratcheting Wrenches with Proto seemed sort of inconclusive. I don't NEED the ASD but I figure it's pointless to double up on regular open ends if I can avoid it

Yes, was hoping for a more complete set honestly. Called Proto today and I guess their ASD ratcheting set is made in Taiwan which is a bummer for me

My Protos with ASD are US, they make 2 levels I beleive. I think SO also goes to 24mm, just not in a set. Proto does go smaller than SO, they go down to 6mm.

These are US...

Oh ****, SO does go down to 6mm...

Check out the SK X-frame. There isn't a lot of USA choices in ratcheting wrenches. Sorry just reread post you want reversible, the x frames aren't.

Buckgnarly is right - Snap-on only offers the set in 10-19mm, but I added the 6-9mm wrenches to round out my set. Eventually I’ll add the jumbo wrenches, just haven’t needed them yet. In my opinion these are the finest ratcheting wrenches I’ve used. The Protos are nice, but I’m not a fan of the spline drive, and the ratcheting mechanisms were pretty loud and clunky on the ones I tried out.

Oh wow, that's great news! I actually really wanted the spline drive anyway. I was hoping I'd be able to buy a set of ASD with ratcheting! I'm stoked. If I couldn't find any, I was just going to go with box end ratcheting sets and get a set of ASD/WG/FD+ at a later date. Glad I can just knock out 2 birds with one stone!
