That's a bit tricky as 19 is usually the top of the small set size so it's not included in he jumbo sets. The blackhawk jumbo set would contain all the larger sizes, then you would just need to find a 19.

buying each one separate puts the shopping cart around 100.00. Thought maybe a set was available that brought it under that overall cost. Probably will pluck away at buying each one over the next few months.

Those are big sizes for ratcheting wtenches set. I can't think of a jumbo set by any maker for less than $100.

I bought these westwards . 3 usable wrenches ( 21,22,24)and a useless 25mm. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4pc-WESTWA...=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
Kickass! Thanks!

Now I just have to pick up the 19mm & 27mm separate. Shouldn't have a lot of use for those too often in the next couple of months.

I've been eyeing up those Tubing Ratchet Wrench Flexible Head sets, but haven't done much review research on those for durability (gripping & turning ccw of aged AN & Dbl Flare style fittings) & actual usability (fitting in typical areas for R&R line fittings)

Might pick up a 10mm or 8mm, but would rather have a 3/8" & 5/16" for common use.

I'm eyeing the Williams MWS-10RCU. It's a U.S.-made 10-piece SUPERCOMBO (long pattern) reversible ratcheting (80 teeth) combination wrench set that covers sizes 10 through 19 mm. The 19 mm wrench is 12 inches long, overall, and the 10 mm is seven. It retails for $240-290. What else compares?
Look at the Proto USA made 11 pc spline set $289 on Zoro I have them and happy with them. Zoro is having issue getting stock from Williams, all my Proto items are shipping quick, look for a 20% off and they will be even lower

A Proto set appears to a great recommendation. It looks like only one metric set offers the longer format, however: JSCVM-14SA. The set's 14 wrenches (6-19mm) range in length from 5-5/32 in to 11-3/64 in. In all other Proto sets the 19mm wrench measures just 9-3/4 in. A Proto Customer Service rep confirmed this.

Availability of JSCVM-14SA is slim. Three retailers linked to through Proto stock the set, and prices range from $354 (MSC) to $671 (Fastenal). Zoro, when it carried it, got $361 before discount.

The wrenches in the JSCVM-14SA set have the spline drive, which Proto says is for use with specialty spline bolts but supposedly will fit 6 or 12-point, star, spline, square, and even half rounded fasteners. Like the wrenches in other Proto sets, these have a 72-tooth ratcheting mechanism that rotates with just 5 degrees of swing.

Just thinking out loud...discard as you see fit: Do you have a 3/4" already? How 'bout a 1-1/16"? Those are so close to 19 & 27 as to be interchangeable. You may already have what you need in your toolbox...

Gearwrench makes 19, 21, 22, 24 and 25 in ratcheting flex head, but they are not reversible. No 27mm though. I think Allen made some too (also not reversible), but Allen is no more. Cripe on Ebay at one time had them, I bought a 22 (part number 26521) and 25 mm (26525) Allen from them. Looks like only the 25mm is available https://www.ebay.com/itm/334117049823?epid=16005306621&hash=item4dcaed95df:g:tgMAAOSwlFFhHCbZ

Not sure if you want a matching set, but singles maybe you only option unless you want tool trucks.

For bigger wrenches I recommend going to your local industrial supply house. Not the best price, but you feel the weight and balance of the wrenches before you buy. Just my 2 cents.

I bought the Proto reversible USA made ones about a year ago in a 20 piece set through Zoro that goes up to 32mm. Their number for the set per my emailed receipt is G4809594 but doesn't appear active any more. The 18 piece SAE ones are still active and are Zoro #: G4809603, Proto #: JSCV-18SA. I can't seem to locate the Proto number for the metric set that I purchased unfortunately. I guess I'm just bringing it up to say that in theory sets of the Protos are available that cover the larger sizes.

A search of the Interweb for "G4809594" reveals your Proto 20-piece metric set is JSCVM-20SA. It includes 6-32mm, except 20mm, 23mm, 25-26mm, 28-29mm and 31mm. Its 19mm wrench, JSCVM19A, has the longer overall length I'm looking for (11-3/64 in, as opposed to 9-3/4 in). You're right, Zoro currently doesn't carry it. It's in stock at MSC ($706), Circle C Country Supply ($720) and Fastenal ($1,284). Interestingly, it's in stock at Grainger and on clearance (for $1,006!) (why, then, not at Zoro?).

I'm looking to spend $200-300 and can live without the bigger wrenches (north of 19mm).
