Craftsman Max Axess Wrenches

I saw these at Sears the other day. Any members have any experience with them yet?? They have "Clinch Drive Plus" open ends.

Haven't tried them, and I don't think I will be. I think it's just another gimmick wrench. It'll be gone next year, and a new one in it's place.

I've got a couple of those (wrench of the moment) tools in a draw in my box somewhere.

I've got some too. Not because I intended to have them, but they came with some set I was buying at the time. None have ever impressed me.

9 long nicely chrome wrenches for $33? Not bad. Bet you can get them shipped for that price on Ebay.

The problem is you can only get that set. No other sizes or open stock is offered by sears. You can catch the more complete dewalt set on sale for the same price.

I bought a set of metric when they were on sale for $20---c'mon how could anyone pass that up?

Used a couple of them a few weeks ago. Work fine, and the extra leverage from the long pattern was appreciated.

I was thinking they may be worth it just for the flank drive type open ends.

They appear to have a normal 12 point box end on them, and the open end is similar to the other anti-slip designs that other tool companies have, so I'd hardly call them a gimmick.

I think you guys are confusing these for the relatively useless quick wrenches that they used to sell.

I bought the SAE & metric for 19.99 on sale, very good for working on hard to get places
