I bought these a month or two back for this price - GREAT deal.

I bought these as well, but I just couldn't recall a time I ever needed them.
Maybe on certain Auto's or other industries ?

I sold my other standard gearwrench ratcheting combo wrenches to pay for these..figured the only reason you have ratcheting wrenches is for the ratcheting end.

I have used a few of them on the front of transverse-mounted engines (Volvo 850 and Toyota Camry V6). Long enough to reach down low - the "piston-action" from the index is actually pretty useful for that kind of work as well. Beats trying to reach down (or up I guess if you have a lift) with a shorter wrench.

I've never seen this kind of wrench before. How is the head locked?

There is a small black "button" on the ratcheting head.

They sure look nice. Could've used them taking out my transfercase a while back.
I'm assuming they don't have them in SAE? Great price too! Wish I could get them, maybe next Christmas.

I can't help but think that these would be nice for working on my snowmobiles.

I have them and have used them a few times now and they were a great addition to my tool box.

What were you doing on the 850? I've done quite a bit on mine (just finished swapping the trans) and never needed a gimmick like these things.

It's too bad they are double box flex wrenches. I'd buy them then.

alternately you can leave them unlocked and use the ratcheting motion of the head at ~90* to spin fasteners as well.
