Good Stubby set?

Huh I'll be...

Whatever gave you that idea? The part numbers for the sets are OXI706B and OEXIM710B.

OXIM710B for the record is the metric. Just got one, so nice!

I had one and sold it, the facom set way better for stubby scenario usage imo .

+1

I have in SAE & metric Tekton stubbies, Craftsman USA stubbies, GearWrench flex ratcheting stubbies, and I also have newer China Craftsman lobster-claw stubbies that I've yet to have used. Their open ends are ridiculously as large or larger than the GW flex ratcheting end. lol

The Craftsman USA stubbies I've been turning for something like 25 years now and have been perfect, no complaints. The Tektons are a fairly new addition but I've put them to use a few times so far. They look nice and can definitely turn a bolt. Not much more to say except they have a few metric sizes my Craftsman doesn't but don't have some SAE sizes my Craftsmans do. Also, the Tektons came in nice stubby holders or iirc I think you can get them in wrench roll instead.

The GearWrenches I've been turning for a year or two now. Luv'em whenever I can use them but the flex/ratcheting end is a bit bulky for some tight spots.

+2 on this. I've used the Tekton stubby's twice now and they are excellent. I've had them for a few months. Nice smooth mechanism too. Hard to see them giving up and breaking with all that torque I'll be putting through them.
