Sk G-PRO Design... Does it really work?

[kartracer55]

Does anybody know if the Sk G-PRO ratcheting wrenches really work? I mean they claim that they will work on 9 different types of fastners and rounded out bolts, but I am sort of skeptical. How well do the grip on normal hex bolts without rounding them off? My shop teacher is considering ordering Either these or a set of snap ons.

Yes they defently work....I have tried them out and I personally believe they are worth every penny....buy a set for both of us

 

[Wolverine]

I'm DEFINATELY purchasing those. When I get them, I'll post an entire review with pics!

 

[kartracer55]

How well do they "hold-on" to the faster? What I orginally meant was, Are they more likely to round off a bolt than a standard 12pt design? I should have made myself more clear.

No they hold on extremely well....they are slightly concave in the tooth so it holds very well.....again they do what they advertise......it helps if by chance you have something like a square drive bit....and finding something to tighten that is hard especially if it require some real torque.....they will not round down bolts

 

[kartracer55]

cool... thanks guys

Jim

 

[dink]

I think these will be a next major purchase to phase out the Craftsmen Ratcheting Wrenches

 

[kartracer55]

Yeah, but they arnt made here, although idk if the craftsmans are either.

Jim

 

[dink]

That doesnt matter....now that I have put the 2 next to each other the SK is defently alot better quality....I can tell in the steal and also on the teeth....they just feel stronger

 

[kartracer55]

Yeah, but they also cost more...

The craftsmans are still pretty good, but they cant build them to be snap on quality for price reasons

Jim

Jim

They are around $30 dollars more....whats $30 bucks when quality is a factor

 

[kartracer55]

thats true, but the craftsmans are great for the average user. Still an excellent value if your not a pro mechanic and dont need snap on

Jim

Go for the sockets....they are prettier to look at...I am not much of a power tool guy....I love hand tools...the sockets and wrenches and ratchets....all that chrome and polish is fun

 

[kartracer55]

its garage junkie bling bling... I def. want the cutoff tool though. IDK if you have ever used one, but it makes life SOOOO much easier when your doin light fab work.
