What brand Combination Wrenches grace your box?

[Farmall450]

I think it's time to see if the gap has narrowed any.

 

[vintage nut]

My personal favorite is the sabina ohio MACs

you can never have too many tools

 

[Kirbot]

Blackhawk SAE and Tekton metric. I don't get to vote at all...

I do have a single 9/16" Wrightgrip though. Probably the nicest wrench I own.

Sorry, with only 10 options it's hard to get them all.

 

[Mohawk Dave]

Snap On and PROTO.

I can't believe how nice EVERY Proto is that I pick up. Old, new, nice, ugly...always smooth as wet ice on wet ice. I grab em every time I see them at swap meets etc.

And Irega. Just got a 15" and it's super nice too.

EDIT: I'm retarded. Somehow I thought "Adjustable wrenches"

SO, I have Carlyle, Snap On FD, FD+, and my new fav, GW 120xp XL flex splines.

 

[vintage nut]

Proto is my second favorite though
Then bonny, then gray, then probably snapon

[Ckengine]

Snap on, gear wrench and old cman 6 points, got SK in my truck bag

 

[Jeremy77]

About 2/3 are CM RP's. The remainder are a mix of GearWrench, Armstrong and a few GreatNeck, Stanley etc. in my box at home. My combos at work are all Armstrong except for a pair of 7/8 GearWrench. 1/2 heavy hex bolts are very common in my facility so the ratcheting action on the 7/8's comes in very handy for tightening flanges.

 

[619DioFan]

The only brand on the list I have is craftsman rp. the others I have in my collection are - gearwrench , klutch ( from northern tool ) northern tool brand ( now replaced by the klutch brand ) HF and Olympia tool co are the brands for the extra large wrenches ( up to 2 inch ) these don't get much use. and a set of met and sae huskys that are in the tool bag I keep in my truck.

 

[MG11068]

Craftsman RP, Kobalt USA, BenchTop, and Tekton.

 

[NC-Shaun]

Craftsman RP is all I have ever owned in combination wrenches.....

 

[bert1913]

I just replaced all of my craftsman with the 44 piece gearwrench long pattern wrenches

 

[RedRabbit]

Snap On and Mac, some sae craftsman usa from my grandfather, well a lot that I just dont use.

 

[Ctraveler]

That is exactly what I did, for what you can sell the Snap On's for you can replace them with Wright's and still put cash in your pocket.

What wrench rails are those?

 

[JUNK-MAN]

I've got a pile, a Snap-On set, some Craftsman RP's and a few S-K and Mac.

 

[jlh92]

Metric: POS Cman Chinese ratcheting wrenches (They lock up enough that I should just throw them out), Cman "universal" black oxide set (these also ****, but are great to beat on), and Matco WCLs (I love these things, easily the best fitting tools I own)

SAE: POS Cman ratcheting and Cman RPs

At least the ratcheting don't have the "speed ratcheting" open end as well!

[Parrothead]

Interesting fact...at the time of this posting there were 1067 total brands picked if you added all the choices up. Of that number 442 were Craftsman. For all the Craftsman hate, they make of 41% of the brands on this poll. Interesting.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Got the Craftsmand rp's for the really hard work and also have plvmb pebbles and proto for the every day users!

And 2/3 of pollers still have them.

 

[rednotch]

Mostly craftsman.
Full set of rp's
set of usa professional
some industrial polished and black oxide rp's
also have china craftsman flank drive sets that are damn good for the 15 bucks they sold them for last year.

3 different sets of GW, flex, switch style and the straight set.
Also have a bunch of loose snap on, sk and mac but no full set of those.

 

[SalahHH83]

I have Klein, Allen, vintage Thorsen (All USA) and some of the Pittsburgh ratcheting wrenches (Taiwan). The old Thorsens are definitely my favorite but I do want to add a 958 set of Wrights

 

[Nyati]

Neither my Stahlwiile or Hazet are listed on your poll.

 

[thegroundpounder99]

Snap On FD

 

[wombat31x]

SAE: SK, New Britain, Tekton,

Also have a few duplicate size and large sizes in Allen, Armstrong, Bonney, Williams, Snap On, Proto, Blackhawk, Bluepoint (USA), Mac, Kobalt (USA), westward, Genius.

Also have a few sets of GW ratcheting wrenches, reversible and regular.

 

[steed andersen]

Craftsman, Gear Wrench, Tekton, Williams,Herbrand,SK,...

 

[Jarhead0408]

Mainly the old RP SK's. There's a few Craftsman RP's that are swapped out as I find the SK RP's.

Also have a few Snap-On, and Proto regular length wrenches. My stubbies are made up of Gearwrench and Armstrong. My ratching and flex ratcheting wrenches are either GW, Craftsman, or a few Kobalts to fill the gaps.

I'm hopint to add the GW 120XP dual box end wrenches to the mix once my taxes come back.

 

[toddoky]

Snap-on and Proto in home box, Proto and Craftsman RP in work box.

And since this poll started, I actually added the Cman RP six point combos that were on clearance for $14.99. That price for USA made had me buying a Cman product for the first time in 25 years.

At Christmas I just smiled when my nephew got the Cman RP's he asked for by name. That's the power of advertising, chineseum and all.

I like those 6 point combos, I have the full set in both SAE and metric. (usa of course)

 

[supertooljunkie]

Bluepoint/Snap on, Mac, Matco, C-man RP, C-man Pro, Napa (Satin), Napa Pro, New Britain, SK RP, SK Pro, Proto/Challenger/Plomb, Blackhawk, Husky, Kobalt/Williams, Kobalt/Danaher, Williams, Fuller, Allen, Bonney, Thorsen, Lectrolite/SK Lectrolite, Duro/Indestro, Wright, Wilde, Giller, OTC, Herbrand, P&C, Vulcan, Easco, Stanley, Benchtop, Billings, Barcalo, Channeloc, Trucraft Japan & Spain, Gray/Maple Leaf, JC Penney, John Deere, IH, Case, Filson, Klein, Gearwrench, Duralast, Beta, Wurth, Hazet, Gedore, Pastorini, Stahlwille, Trutest, Pennens.

Those are the brands I can think of right off hand. I have some more European brands I don't remember the name, & can't get to them at the moment.

I have several "one off" combo wrenches like a 13/16" Frank & Warrren from Japan. This was probably part of a tool kit supplied with a particular machine.

I purchase wrench racks, or tool rolls, & cob together like sets. Plus the several matched sets I bought as sets.

 

[Grimly]

Snap-On, Britool, Taskmaster, Stahlwille, Gedore, Facom, etc, etc.
I recently set about getting some order in my box and decided to replace the missing S-O combos (there's nothing more despicable than a tool thief) with Taskmaster, as the T-M ones I'd bought in the late 80s had stood up well, and as I'm no longer spannering professionally, the cost and outlay on more S-O wasn't justified.
So, I've been picking up NOS Taskmaster here and there, and might expand the collection into other areas. Taskmaster made some nice stuff over the years - not a huge range, but pretty workmanlike and reliable.
