Specific Craftsman Wrench set ?

[dink]

It seems like manufacturers are hard up for new ideas on hand tools....I really dont get how these are helpful.....whoever made these for Sears.....they must be running out of ideas


Thoughts on these wrenchs.....maybe I am missing something on how these are so cool

i think because they are supposed to grip the middle of the bolt, not just on the points. So if you have a bolt that's already started to round off, you don't just round it all the way out trying to loosen it.

Hmmm I guess to make up for poor quality.....if you look at any top of the line wrench the deep part more swooped then a cheapy....this allows for grip on the side then at the to adjoining points...more grip more torque less rounding of bolt.....same with sockets

Don't they also look pretty thin in the pic? Maybe for tight spots...
