I am hoping someone can help me out I have the sae long pattern wrench set from Snap on. I want to get a metric set but can't justify the cost as it might never get used I do want a USA set if possible any advise

Combination wrenches-not a lot of options for USA made.
Snap-On Long
Mac Extra Long
Matco Extra Long
Armstrong Extra Long

all similar length. New the Armstrongs will be far cheaper than the rest. 10pc Metric sets run about $150, set number is 52-671.

MAC and Snap-On sets run around $200 on ebay. Matco runs between 100-150 when they pop up.

I have both Mac and Matco X long wrench sets. I just picked up my Matco X L flexing ratcheting head wrench set last week.

What is wrong with them? I was eyeballing them pretty intensely at one point.

What is the part number series for this set? There is one XL Matco ratcheting flex set that is my dream. Can't recall numbers off top of my head.

Everyting is going metric. You will use it. My bet is that you have metric botls and don't know it. Some SAE wrenches fit very close.

I have the Snap-on set and I have them in boths sizes. I also have the longs in the S-K brand and I like them just as well ast the Snappies.

The Snappies are a little longer by a quarter of an inch.
The S-K wrenche set form 8mm to 22mm can be gotten on E bay for $159. Used sets for for under a hundred dollars.

I just wish they would mark all the bolts with an M or S so you know what size to grab.
Drives me crazy. My Linclon Town Cars and F250's have both. One size or the other please.

When I was young I had to buy an S-K set of sockets and that did me with a small set of wrenches for 30 years. Now I have 2 full sets of tools and seldom use them.

I have the Gearwrench XL ratcheting metric wrench set. About $150 IIRC.
Best purchase I ever made in a wrench set.
