New wrench seems the obvious answer! 
I just completed ordering from Mister Worker some USAG 285x wrenches, purchased them individually rather than the 12pc.set, ( the individual wrenches are supposedly 28%off). I ordered: 10mm,11mm,12mm,13mm,14mm,15mm,16mm,17mm,18mm,19mm and 21mm (I passed on the 8mm and 9mm). I also ordered the tool roll for the 12pc 285x set for an additional $11. So...for 2 bucks more than the 12pc set; I loose the 8mm and 9mm, but gain the 21mm and a tool roll. $134 plus $19 shipping . (20mm is also available, but I passed on the 20mm). A lot more expensive than the $39 I paid for a 12pc set of the rebadged Craftsman v series shorter length wrenches, but the longer wrenches will be a nice addition. I really need to stop following GJ so much. UPDATE: thanks to the members Andres and Ryan for setting me straight. I assumed that the last 2 digits of the product number indicate the mm wrench size...not the case; for example 02850912 is a 10 mm, 02850914 is a 12mm and 02850916 is a 14mm! Hopefully my order cancelation request is honored, and I can try again!

You sure you got the 285X? I only see them going up to 19mm. I would really like to get 21 and 22mm

Did the OP get the replacement? All the haters seem to have run off from this thread. I guess eating crow isn't on their menu.

Yes, the site indicates that these are 285x. Item U02850920 (20mm) $15.52; item U02850921 (21mm) $15.87. If I'm wrong, and you find that these were incorrectly represented as 285x, please let me know so that I can cancel my order. I didn't see a 22mm 285x listed, however they list a Facom long reach design OGV Grip, item #441.22, for $17.87, I'm not sure how that differs from the USAG, they look similar.

You are confusing part number with sizes, U02850920 is 18mm and U02850921 is 19mm . Usag doesn't offer the 285x in big sizes, only 8 to 19mm.
Facom 441ovg are offered in 7 to 22mm missing 20, 21.
Thank you for setting me straight, poor assumption on my part that the last 2 digits of the product number indicate the mm sizing (but it would've made sense to number the product that way
). Misterworker site indicated that email order cancelation request to customer service, made within 24 hours of placing order, would be honored. I'm hoping that is the case. I'll reorder correctly when order is canceled. My appoligies to all those whom I misinformed, and thanks to Volvo Ryan and Andres26tnt for the heads up so that I can stop the order and try again.

No crow here....
I am glad he got his wrench, but it shouldn't have been such an issue.
Yeah, the last digits of the product number often represent the size. And since these 285X numbers went up consecutively, I thought maybe Mister Worker had made a mistake with the sizes in their listings. That seemed more likely to me than USAG naming all of these neatly in a row but two out.
So I nearly made the same mistake you did when I ordered several singles recently (I rarely find complete sets necessary for what I do, given the other tools I already own).
