With all the Sears hating going on thought I'd ask. I need a 1-5/16 open end wrench. OSH has a Made in USA Combination wrench for $27+tax.
Hows the quality of this one?

I have the full set of craftsman professional wrenches. The have very good quality. I Like them as well as the snap on set, at 1/2 the cost.

I don't think you'd have any problems with it. They've all been pretty stout to me.

I don't think the profesional series is made in china.
I just need the one wrench and they have a USA one on the rack. I can't imagine breaking that monster.....Or are those real bad?
Yeah if you only need one wrench it should work fine, If you were going to invest in a set then id say to take your money else where.

Is that the largest wrench they make on the SAE side? It is the largest I have after buying the large wrench sets they make. I'd like a 1 1/2" wrench if they make it. You will be happy with the USA RP's though. For larger, look at northern tool

I bought this set http://www.sears.com/craftsman-5-pc...blockNo=1&blockType=G1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
Seems to work ok but most of the larger fittings on aircraft are relatively low torque and generally dont tend to be frozen in place with corrosion. But that wrench set has saved my bones a few times.

The RP wrenches aren't bad. People's complaints about them recently have been minor quality control issues, not that they don't perform well.
I bought two sets recently that had a few minor cosmetic issues, but problems seem to be more common on the smaller wrenches.

The professional series has been discontinued and replaced with a line of fully polished wrenches that aren't marked "professional." Those wrenches are now Chinese.

Their regular wrenches are going to be fine, even the Chinese built models. It's the ratchets / sockets that are going to go to $hit when China starts building them.
If you're doing something that's going to "break" a regular wrench (especially a large one), you are probably misusing it in the first place.
