quad box wrenches

Anyone try these from gearwrench yet?

Yes, no issues with mine.

Are these the style with 2 sizes in the box end and you have to flip them over to use them?

Yeah, they're cool for what they're cool for. Good for portable kits, vehicle kits, and bikes.

edit: I actually like them enough that I just picked up a couple extra sets for half off at sears to hang on my toolboard. I already have a couple sets in my portable kit.

yes they are I got the metric and standard size at sears all gearwrench are 50% off for fathers day on the metric set you get 8 and 10 mm on one end and 12 and 13 in one and the other has 16/17 and 18/19
the sae has 3/8-5/16 and 7/16-1/2 and the other wrench has 9/16-5/8 and the other end3/4-11/16
so its like 4 wrenches in one... in my opinion way better than the craftsman dogbone also great fit and finish

I like the multi-tool design but was wondering about durability/usage issues myself. Thanks for the info!

I have found these wrenches to be perfect in one situation where absolutely nothing else would work. There was a stud inside of a machined pocket with barely enough room between the end of the stud and the wall to get the wrench on. The nut was recessed down enough that I couldn't get a regular box end on it and there wasn't enough space between the stud and wall to get a socket in (I even machined a socket way down to try). Since the quad box has a thin extended piece it basically acted as a super low profile ratchet and I was able to get the nut off without disassembling a ton of other things to get to it.

Problem with the metric quad box wrenches is that 14mm is left out. I don't need 13mm but I do need 14mm when I work on honda / acura.
