Dude thank you, I've been looking for these for like 2 years since I got my metric XLs.

If you really want them still contact Mike Wren and see what would happen as not everything he has might be on the website and he will let you know what the possibility would be to get them.

Do they make 21, 22, 24mm wrenches in the same style?

Just another thing that I asked them to make (which of course they didn't). A set of these going up to 24mm would be awesome. They wore me out. I told them to exhibit as SEMA 10 years ago where they would have stole the show. They have an extensive trade show booth they use all over Asia so doing so would have been easy. Just no talking to these people.

They still are relatively cheap but that's not the complete story as I mentioned above. The cost of shipping, EBAY's cut, and all the rest just made the final price a lot higher than I actually feel it needs to be. With Tekton and Capri now in the tool business it's a lot harder to push TOPTUL. Before they existed and after Craftsman **** the bed was the time when I felt TOPTUL could have killed it in America. Too Timid and to quote Mike Jagger: "Time Waits for No One." Some really great Mike Taylor guitar on that song.

We generally use "Mick" as the short form for Michael in England, Mike seems very American to us.

Mick Taylor is a guitar genius 👍

I also suspect F1 superstar Michael Schumacher named his son Mick after spending a lot of time in the UK where the Mechanics would almost certainly have called him Mick 😂

I really wish they had a better presence in the US. I ordered sockets from cryer and it took 3 months to get them, and they forgot a few (also didn't send me an invoice so I couldn't even remember what they forgot) - when they sent me the replacements (I had ordered extra 8,10,12,13mm sockets for a 1/4" set), they were STILL missing one of the 10mm sockets. Now I'm afraid of using the set because if I lose pieces, I can't get replacements. (Unless JM sells individuals) I prefer the little details of toptul tools, like how they do snap on/stahlwille style where each socket is a different blank

Got a 3/4" Toptul set, a set of 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" deep sockets and a few saltus wrenches from Toptul. They are all around just really high quality.

The brand name is a bit weird to me.
I think it would be super cool if they stamped something like "proudly made in Taiwan" on them cause they certainly could not feel ashamed by them. Practically all asian hand tools apart from Japanese try to hide where they come from or are reselled by US brands that want you to think they're US made.
