They retail for $2306.95. You can view them here http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item...8&group_ID=560&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog
I am missing why someone would need a complete set these wrenches. They typically suit specific applications. I would only but the ones I need.

if you were a heavy line tech working on military equipment you would want these and would do anything to get them. they are priceless for some applications.

Often refered to as hydraulic wrenches or offset wrenches. They are super useful to us heavy equipment/ semi mechanics When you need these you really need them. There is a reason that I have over 20 grans in my box in tools. And a balance on the tool truck....

Agreed.
past that number a long time ago
I use 1 1/2" wrenches almost as often as a 9/16 and I love my SO box full of tools, but I'm not sure I would buy those bigger angled wrenches unless I got a killer deal.
I have a drawer full of cut up el-cheapo wrenches to fit those jobs - I've had hydraulic hoses burried in truck frames where the only way to get to them was to cut the open end wrench off right where th ehandle portion meets the "head" and weld a chunck of 1 1/2" square tube to it to extend the reach outside the frame (think giant crowfoot wrench on an extension), giving a place to grab it and put some real torque into it with a huge adjustable or 24" pipe wrench.

thats a pretty good deal.
ive never had much of a use for anything bigger than 1 5/8", been wrenching on const eq for 25+ years.
i'd hate to have to replace what i have....

I use mine almost daily. You get 4 in one, with the different angles. I mostly use for hyd fittings on heavy equip, also use the smaller ones for tubo oil line bolts, . You pay a premium, but most companies only offer the angle portion of the wrench, where SO has that other slight angle to advance your next turn. Well worth the investment, especially when you figure that you would have to heat and bend a spare wrench to get the job done, and it doesn't mean you'll get the angle right.
