Beta 42 Series Metric Combination Wrenches

[MementoMori99]

I am seriously considering the purchase of a set of Beta 42 series metric combination wrenches. FYI, I own the following sets of metric combination wrenches: Facom 440(2014 edition), Hazet 600N and Stahlwille 13. How does the Beta combo wrench series in question compare with the three sets that I already own in terms of overall quality(fit, finish, tolerances, etc...) and toughness? Any input would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

The Beta wrench production video is excellent.

Thanks, I already saw it. I agree that the video was very well done.

I own the Beta 42, and my brothers have Facom and Stahlwille. I dont think there is much difference in the fit and tolerances. They are all good quality brands.
I can't say anything about toughness. I have never broken a wrench of any of these brands.
There is quite a lot of difference in finish. The Facoms are the most
glossy, the Betas are quite dull, the Stahlwilles inbetween. I think the Hazet finish is most like Beta finish.
The Facoms are quite thick and a bit longer, the Stahlwille thinnest and shortest, and the Betas inbetween. The Hazet are also quite long.
I can take comparison pictures of the wrenches if you would like.

The 440's were redesigned in 2014 and are now 15% slimmer.......here's how to tell the old and new apart....

Thanks for the offer. It is not necessary, as I get the picture based upon your descriptions.
