Cman ratcheting open wrench set

Not sure if this is a "hot deal" because of shipping but they are definitely discounted http://www.sears.com/craftsman-7pc-...0050830x000545&aff=Y&PID=4485850&AID=11042411

I bought these, for probably $20 (my limit for questionable garage purchases)

I've actually used one twice which is a win for an oddball tool lol

I got these when they were $9.99 for the 7pc in December. I've used them a few times and they're worth $10, but not any more.

They have the 4pc for $15 currently: http://www.sears.com/craftsman-4-pc...p-00921936000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1

DON'T USE THEM!
If you are in a situation where these will work, you might as well just go on and off. The mechanism for me is awful and these are never used except as a hammer or wedge.

Your experience may be different but I would not get them just to have.

I couldn't flip them over to get another grip. In the places where you might need open ends, they don't work. If gave them away.

The main problem with these wrenches and the ratcheting open end, is that you have to be square parallel with the faster head flat for it to work worth a flip. Come at it off angle perpendicular and it slips.

Gimmick tool to give to meterosexuals who only have to deal with putting together IKEA furniture.

IKEA? What is this IKEA you speak of?

Another vote for a horrible tool. don't work right and feels cheap.

 

[PelicanPines]

I would never go for this type of wrench in my toolbox as a first choice, second, third or forth choice. +1 vote for horrible tool as well. And I used to own IKEA till the wife went all real furniture crazy.

I think that the sole market for these was people that were mislead into thinking that they were Gearwrench-style ratcheting wrenches.

BTW, Ikea has few items, if any, that use hex head fasteners. I've been there lots of times, and actually enjoy putting together their kits. Usually with power tools. I have no metro-****** inclinations. For years I didn't go into a Pottery Barn because I didn't need pottery. The metrosexuals that I know wouldn't be caught dead in Ikea. Much like in Fight Club, they would deny that something came from there.

Thanks for letting me know, I didn't realize how bad these are!

Much like any Craftsman wrench, they're second rate. There are multiple design differences between those and the speed wrenches by SO. Those work when you would otherwise have to repeatedly flip a wrench or just go off and on.

Worst wrenches ever.

Have a USA made set. Worked great on my motorcycle in hard to reach spots. If you have the cash for a fine tooth ratcheting wrench there is no point. But these worked for me

Cheap erector set style furniture that is popular with college kids and urban dwellers who never plan to move with it.

Work like a charm under countertops to tighten drawbolts. If you don't spend any time under counters, - See Above

i have a full set of the old USA raised panel versions and its the last open end i will look for to use. they work, but you need to take your time. i can flip a regular wrench faster with more confidence in my work.
