Blue Point BOERMF712A Flex Ratchet Wrench Set

[Farmall 1066]

Looking for a decent set of metric Flex ratcheting wrenches and came across this set in like new condition for $150.
I like the fact they are reversible too.

Anybody have any opinions on these?

I have same set which at the time purchased from Snapon truck in haste because I was working on a job and needed it to get done. I paid probably double that price. I guess that's what they call " Paid The Price ". I think they too flimsy for the price I paid. I think $100 is better price or go with another brand.

Subscribed, I've seen them on the SO website and wondered about them. I don't think there's very many reversible flex heads out there.

I have one 10mm under the Williams Taiwan brand. Really good feel and function, has been great to use so far. I'd grab a full set if I needed them. A Blue Point labeled set for $150 wouldn't be bad, the Williams labeled version of that set is around $145 new though.

I have the stubby version and they have been great very well built. they are a little bulky but it hasn't been a major issue... I paid around 125 a set.

I just bought the stubby set like new from a guy for $45 ***** its SAE though but oh well I'm gonna keepem for that rare occasion.

I think I'll go with these...the price difference between Blue Point & Williams is worth it for convenience of warranty, if I'd ever need it.

I also have the Blue Point ratcheting wrenches, but the standard 15 degree offset version, not flex. Picked up both the SAE and Metric sets about six months ago in a pawn shop for $ 125 total - he had no idea what he had. I liked them so much, I bit the bullet and purchased additional wrenches at full cost from Snap-On corporate site. You did just fine and will find them quite useful. I don't know how I ever got some things done without them. Great timesavers!

Williams is a Snap-on Industrial brand.

Most of the Williams lineup are relabeled Snap-on (Williams USA) and Blue Point (Williams Taiwan).

 

[Strouty]

Only an industrial dealer will warranty the Williams. Any Snap On driver should warranty the Blue Point versions.

Went back and got them today...let them gather a little dust and got it for $100.
Think I'll like them.

It seems to me you don't need it to reverse if it is a flex head. Although there may be that rare time when you may get it stuck and wish to reverse it for convenience.

I have a gear wrench set and a Craftsman set. Considering the price i am very Pleased with both. I like the Craftsman set better because the flex head can be locked in position. That is nice when working on a tough bolt.
