Search ebay for Williams Midget wrenches to find this bargain. Shipping is reasonable.
They are new, satin finish with polished faces it looks like. I bought 19 sizes for $28.70 shipped. YAY!

i get 5.20 for shipping on 1. the discount does however say .25 for each additional if you wanted a bunch it would be reasonable.

Looks like no 10mm or temp out of stock?

11mm went out of stock too before I could get a full cart. Guy should do some sets.

He will post more, I think. Emailed me to say he had thousands of them, were I interested in more.

Someone posted a link to what looks like this "set" at Harry Epstein's for $50. Epstein's doesn't have a 10MM in their set, either, so maybe it isn't made for some reason.

However, for about $4.50 you can get a single 10MM stubby USA Kobalt from Cripe's on eBay (and only the 10MM for some reason).

Cripe's also has SAE and Metric USA Kobalt stubby sets, but they are $28 a piece, I think.

I have a set of the GearWrench ratchet stubbies, but these Williams should have much less clearance issues. I also have a dozen other types of 10mm wrenches, I just like to have a full set if I can, and these appear to also be missing 5/8 which is a bummer. I emailed the guy to see if he will offer a more complete set, its a PITA buying one at a time.

I just purchased 10 of the metric sizes, 6-19mm for $17.45 shipped. Anyone know where I can get a Williams midget 10mm wrench to complete the set?

Well, Lowe's has their metric set on sale for $9.98 for 6 wrenches. 10mm is in there, along with (I think) another size our Williams seller doesn't offer, can't recall which one at the moment. (14mm?)

The wrenches have gotten good reviews here. Taiwanese made, and the whole set isn't that much more $$ than buying a couple individually.

[edit] Correction needed-- the Lowe's metric set starts at 12mm, not 10. My mistake and apologies. Still a nice set for $10...

very tempting to get all of the metric wrenches. A bunch more than the lowes $10 set

Except he doesn't have any 7, 10, or 16mm, I bought one each of all the rest.

I haven't had any luck finding remotely a good price on Williams stubby wrenches in a Satin finish, but this place has a few sizes in full polish.

10MM USA Kobalt stubby wrench from Cripe's Distributing on eBay for $4.75 shipped.

That's what I did to get a 10MM. I think their user name is cripesdistributing. They had like 500+ of them when I ordered.

I don't think I need 7MM, probably don't even need the 6MM. My little Craftsmans are already pretty stubby! Although, I am missing 6MM in a RP, so I think this one will just take it's place instead of buying one to fit the wrench organizer LOL.

Thanks for the heads up. I decided to split the difference. I picked up all the Williams metrics, plus the 9/16 to serve in the 14mm slot. I'll probably pick up the $10 Kobalts to satisfy the SAE sizes.

For the price and quality I figure I only need to "need" one of these wrenches once to make it worth owning them.

Got mine today. Very nice. I ended up ordering SK stubby 10mm and 14mm from Tooltopia to complete the set.

Got my 19 as well, nice looking, some are TINY like midget wrenches, rest are normal stubby. Seems good quality, feels a little edgy, like they need some using. Some had some funkiness on the chrome flat sides, but a rag and oil seems to take whatever it is off.

Planning on taking my time filling in the missing sizes.

Ordered my set just now.

Anyone else think he might be running it at a small loss on purpose, in order to boost his feedback score up? Seems like a pretty smart idea if you think about it

Who am I to complain though? Cheap tools and a bunch of positive buyer feedback for me haha

My guess is the guy bought some BIG surplus lot and wants to sell them all.

I left pos feedback for each tool, but his count only went up 1 I think.

I keep looking at this deal, but I can't think of where I'd use them. The price is good, but what do you guys use these wrenches on?

I bought these, and am pretty happy with them. They look pretty nice.

Because there was no 10MM, I bought a USA-made Kobalt. It is really nice! Cripe's Distributing has complete sets of Kobalt USA SAE & Metric. I think they are $28/each. Definitely worth a look as well--the one I got was a little nicer than the Williams, but I have no complaints with them. Only one of my Williams was not really "pretty", one of the tiny ones was a little rough. It'll work, though.

I have stubby GearWrench combo's, so these are pretty much strictly for the times when one of those won't work, most likely due to a clearance issue from the larger box end of the ratcheting mechanism. Not a go to wrench, but worth the cost if I ever need one.

There's been a couple of times in the last few months where I've needed one working on the car.

I've got a set of this Williams at work in metric, but I might get a set at home at this price.

Total w/ shipping's been consistently at about $29? I guess that's fair.

Not sure why he is charging extra on shipping, i fit a whole set of craftsman stubbies in a 5 dollar USPS flat rate box.


If i didnt already have craftsman/sk stubbies, i would be all over these.
