k-eg,

TheToolChest.ca has in stock a, 10-19mm, extra long wrench set (http://www.thetoolchest.ca/products/10PC-Extra-Long-Combinaton-Wrench-Set-%28Metric%29.html).

It also has in stock 3, 26 piece, metric combination wrench sets in stock (http://www.thetoolchest.ca/categories/Wrenches/).

They offer $10 flat rate shipping to the U.S. and ship out orders the next day. I was very satisfied with my purchase last year.

74$ doesnt seem bad at all for a 10 piece extra long set or metrics

k-eg · May 4, 2011

Wow thats a good price.In the picture of the extra long wrenches it shows 2 different materials and design.Which is the one they sell.I also saw somewhere they sell like a American design and a European design.

k-eg,

You have to read in the description (below the picture of the wrenches) which finish is in stock. For the 10-19mm, extra long combination wrenches, the satin chrome finish (European design) is only available for purchase. You also have to read the descriptions for 2 out of the 3, 26 piece, metric combination wrench sets to find out the finish type. For one of the 26 piece wrench sets, there are radio buttons on the description page where you can choose your preferred finish (http://www.thetoolchest.ca/products/26PC-Combination-Wrench-Set-%28Metric%29.html).

what domestic brand would compare to these? im looking for metric combos

freeskier,

They are comparable to the older (just discontinued), U.S.A. made, Craftsman Professional wrench sets. Toptul has an advantage in finish quality and factory quality control over Craftsman (Danaher).

Please see the above revised post about the GarageJournal 20% discount from TheToolChest.ca.

super torque means extra long right?

I dont think so.I think the design of the wrench is different from a standard wrench

I agree with "k-eg". From what I interpreted on the Toptul website, the "Super Torque" wrenches will fail (at either ends) at twice the torque load of ANSI and DIN wrench standards.

The "Super Torque" wrenches are shorter than the long combination wrenches.

question for "dede"im noticing that on Wrens website that they all show having full polish wrenches?These are the 2 that im interested in:
http://wrenhandtools.com/wrenches/x-long_combo_wrench_15offset.html
http://wrenhandtools.com/wrenches/long_combo_wrench_15offset.html
Now do they make these sets available to buy in this material?

posaune · May 4, 2011

The extra long combos definitely WERE available in mirror, but I have no idea if they still are or not. They are on the left in the first post HERE (click).

mikebramel · May 4, 2011

This is when they were new

mikebramel · May 4, 2011

The fit and finish is superb and I would put them up against anything at any price

k-eg,

According to the Toptul's website, the extra long and long combination wrenches are available in the full polish finish.

I would not rely on Mike Wren's website. It is a mess and does not allow a customer to view his current prices and place an order.

Last year, I purchases some wrenches and socket extensions from him. I had a positive experience with him. However, Mike Wren's customer service experience is his weakness. He works in the finance industry as his main job. Mike Wren's Toptul business is a side job. With Mike Wren, it is necessary to keep on him with multiple phone calls (509-993-4678) for the order to ship out in a timely manner.

I would recommend calling Mike Wren about your Toptul wrench set wish list. He used to offer a GarageJournal only 30% discount on his remaining stock. Do not be surprised if you have difficulty in getting a call back from him based on GJ member "vette-kid" last month's experience here (post# 443): http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24294&page=23.

If you have poor luck with Mike Wren, I would call "TheToolChest.ca" and ask about placing an order for the full polish wrench sets. It might take months for you to receive them since "TheToolChest.ca" places large orders with Toptul in Taiwan at least 2 times a year.
