I’m going to pull the trigger but I’m between 2 sets; the 85988 or the 86126. 85955 fixed box end/ ratcheting fixed box end, or 86126 fixed box spline end /flex ratcheting spline end. I’m sure some guys have both, only want to get one. Never owned spline drive anything, want the fixed box end since I don’t own any long pattern combo wrenches. Can’t decide on pros and cons of either.

Spline drive (properly sized not the gimmicky universal version which is pure garbage) is an interesting debate. I don’t have any because I already have plenty of wrenches in 6/12 point. Some people swear it is a tighter fit and prefer it. Others are more traditionalist but I haven’t tried it so I can’t say.

I have the fixed end version of those Gearwrench and really like them.

Thanks for the heads up. Cpo seems to have the best price on them and they’re an authorized dealer

Anyone else? Going to order by the end of today.
