I have the gear wrench ones, they work great. Luckily I can get them at our Canadian tire stores across Canada for less money when on sale.

What about BluePoint stubby ratchet wrenches instead of Snap On? Why are you going through a supplier anyways? Have you checked eBay?

If you want Bluepoint Taiwan made Stubbies you might as well get GW and pocket the difference

Harbor Freight is the only way to go on these. Super cheap and since they're so short you're never going to put enough of torque on them to cause them to fail.

Williams. I have their metrics, very happy with them

The Blue Point is just a relabled Williams. For the UK, I would look closely at Facom. Paramount, which look quite nice, and Williams might require expensive shipping from USA.

Check this out - Tekton has an 8 piece set of them in 6 point for $48.. probably cheaper somewhere else though

No idea why my link keeps showing the metric versions, but you get the idea.

I'm over in the UK,so Williams would be expensive.I wouldn't buy anything from Facom as they bought Britool (a really old established maker of handtools) and closed them down.

I wouldn't mind a set of USA made craftsman if I can find a set off eBay.
