I am looking for a set of 0* offset box end wrenches, in both standard and metric. I like the long handle style of the Gearwrench 85988, but don't need the ratcheting function. Any suggestions on a set that won't break the bank?

EZ red is a decent brand for the money. If your going to use them daily as a professional they are decent

I ordered a set of the metric genius about a week ago. Haven't received them yet but should be any day. Hopefully they are durable they look great.

I've got both sae and metric Cornwell box ends and I'm surprise at how often I grab them. I bought them for pretty cheap when my Cornwell guy was hanging it up.

If you can buy them with a ratcheting function (Gearbox) why wouldn't you? Makes no sense. Sooner or later, probably sooner, you'll be using it in a spot where that ratcheting action is going to be immense help.

They run a BOGO on the GW sets as well so you'll get both complete sets for less than a single 5-6pc metric set of truck brand non-ratcheting high performance wrenches would cost you.

There is no good reason to purchase non-ratcheting versions anymore.

2 10mm, 2 12mm, 2 14mm and 2 17mm no 13, 15 or 18. doesn't seem very useful
I didn't look at the sizes. 13 and 15 is probably my two most used sizes between my s10 blazer and the girl friends xj.
