I suggest get cheap ones or spend good money on a good set. From what I read on here most of the middle of the line brands are made by the same manufacturer but not all of them. Someone will shortly post which are made by who. I suggest if you do not depend on them buy cheap and when it breaks, buy a better one if you want something better.
Here are my suggestions, because I do not like poor quality tools.
1 Snap-on flank drive plus expensive but you can use the open end to break bolts, they can leave bite marks though.
2 Snap-On double box with one ratcheting end great for breaking bolts free and cranking away for speed.
3 EZ-Red also made by another company double ratcheting box, reversible, locking flex, one side offset. These are long flex ratchets great for hard to reach areas that could use some speed. (I do not have these yet, but I have gotten my hands on them, I will get these after I move)
4 Stubby Blue Point reversible flex for those tight spots.
5 Best ratcheting action- meaning most work performed with same amount of swing (I measured). Craftsman professional reversible. From what people have posted on here these can still be gotten under the craftsman industrial name, still US made.
I would give Carlyle available at NAPA a shot. The deal with 20% off the gear wrench is a good deal. I have borrowed some Blackhawks which were good for the brief time I used them.
There many options, I would also give SK a shot if they make ratcheting wrenches I do not know about SK.
I believe Proto makes a nice spline set too. I will end up getting these also. Another company sells them under a different name essentially the same wrench.
Good luck there are a good amount of options.
If you do not want to spend a lot and you have time, keep your eye out for a deal. Almost all brands have a sale at some point. Some prices are negotiable. Good luck.
