I'm really torn, and looking for a set of ratcheting wrenches at least 10-19mm and would prefer them to include down to 8, and anything over 19 a bonus. There's so many options with spline being in the mix, flex head, and double box ends, I'm stuck.

Gearwrench 85988 are double box end, regular and ratchet ends, with a tray. (I like trays)

The Gearwrench 86126 are spline drive and not my first choice, but they look to be nice and long, double box end, with a tray

The Capri set here looks really nice, regular style, no reverse lever but with the anti slip open end. Priced well - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074JHDVLG/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I've looked at the Tekton and don't think I want 6 points unfortunately. I could be convinced, but I'm not breaking fasteners free with them so probably not of interest? Mountain and ez red seem to be recommended often but I don't know how I feel about flex head wrenches. Anything else I should consider? Cornwell? I know facom is nice, but I don't see any sets of them that I could have here on short notice, being shipped from the UK.

I'd go with facom via amazon
shipping don't take that long unless you needing them in like 4 or 5 days .
Stahlwille do a nice set but not everyone like the reverse switch on those .

I'd like them in 4 or 5 days, but I suppose it's not needed. I dont see a full set listened on Amazon tho?

Mine are facom, the older style, been great for years and come with a lifetime warranty.

Those spline XL gearwrench's are very good, but as you say they are long, the 19mm is breaker bar length. Too long for 90% of the time imo.

Spline grips rusted fasteners better imo however.
