Has anyone tried Capri Wavedrive Wrenches?

I found a set a SAE Capri wave drive wrenches on an amazon warehouse deal decided to buy have not arrived yet, have any of you tried them out yet?

Is that just their standard anti slip combination wrench?

Here is a link from Capri some other online reviewers compare them to Mac RBRT Wrenches.
I know I have been impressed with other Capri tools I own.

I guess CP the tool addict can compare them to the MAC RBRT wrenches but, any comparison would be speculating at best since, the MAC RBRT wrenches just came out. I think you need to have both wrench styles side by side to compare them

I've used the Astro's. they work well but, I wouldn't use them as a regular wrench.

Thanks did not know Astro made those.

They are for damaged fasteners. If the fasteners aren't damaged before you use them they will be after you use them. Not a normal tool but a specialty tool used for a specific purpose.

I like them. I find that I use them more often than I thought. The fit and finish is very good and they are comfortable to use

It's been a couple of years since someone posted this thread.

I'm looking at the Capri WaveDrive set. Does anyone have real word experience with them vs. RBRT vs. Overdrive?

I purchased a metric set a month or so back.
They will be put to work on a project I have in mind come summer.

I also own a set of extra long double box end wrenches (metric) made by Capri and have been pleased using them, no doubt WaveDrive will perform well.

On YT there is a mechanic in TX that has put them through their paces and was happy with their performance.

I have the Overdrive set and the box end does indeed work well on rounded/corroded fasteners. Haven’t really given the open end much of a workout. They are very tight clearance, so much so that they don’t go on fasteners easily. Not a daily driver set but for $75 i found them to be a great deal
