I did some searching, and apologize if I missed something, im looking for a set of offset wrenches in metric that is affordable. I looked at the HF set, but I have mixed feelings about them based on personal experience with their regular made in India combo wrenches. should I be looking at Northern tool? What do you recommend?

Tekton! Budget wise you will not find anyone with better customer service and easy to use lifetime guarantee. I will not buy another budget brand.

**Looking I don't think tekton offers offset box end wrenches if thats what your looking for sorry for the shameless plug. Lol but seriously budget tools wise I have not seen a more active, faster, or more dedicated company than tekton and mit.

Duralast. 6 piece set $19~. Easy to warranty if you ever need it. Fit and finish is very nice. I have both sets. I'm very satisfied. I wouldn't recommend ratcheting ones. The ones I've seen are bulkier then non ratcheting ones. And when you need them, bulky and thick is the last thing you want.

I gotta agree with blackz26, im thinking a non-ratcheting set would be best. I kinda like the looks of the Northern Tool wrenches, but I dont know how good they are. I also like the Duralast, but any way I go ill have to order them, and warranty will mean a long drive.I have a cooworker who regularly goes by HF, so he could pick me up a set from there, but im not sure I want the HF set.

10 degree? 15? 30? 45? 60? Or they even make 75 degree? I'm assuming 60.. If so Craftsman was closing out some USA sets at crazy prices.

I wondered when it would be asked LOL! For clarity im talking about this style chromexquality_db2425_wrench_offset_f_cropped_inset2.jpg Thanks for the heads up on the C-man!!! I was actually given an old USA c-man 13x15 mm, and it is so handy now im looking for a full set!

I believe that's a 60 degree offset.
