What brand Combination Wrenches grace your box?

[Tanro]

Currently c-man raised panel and kobalt ratcheting.

Had my SO wrenches lifted out of my work hand tote after I turned in my 2 week my last job.

 

[Bunit98]

Mastercraft maximum

 

[Gmonkee]

l sold all my combo wrench sets and went with other choices. A very few stragglers remain but mainly Euro brands or some ancient US stuff.

This is a very specific market oriented poll. Choice 11 would be .... none of the above. Good try Neil.

 

[travis85904]

Snapon and a chinese adjustable wrench lol

 

[jvitez]

Not enough choices in this poll!

I've got the following, either in a tool bag for the trailer, a hand box for the basement, or the roller cabinet in the garage:

Cornwell
Snap-On
Proto
SK
Wright (Wright grip)
Gedore
Toptul
Facom
Allen
Jet (Canadian import brand)

I keep wanting a full set of Hazet, but then I'm afraid I won't use any of the others.....

 

[Gmonkee]

jvitez, l went Stahwille ( Wurth rebrand ) and everything else went up into backstock. The weight, rigidity and precise sizing really shone through the first uses.

Euro ergonomics aren't for everyone but they certainly work for me. l've found that Hazet, Elora and other Euro brands all run pretty close in feel , even some Asain clones get it right.

 

[nelstomlinson]

You left out Proto?

 

[Canadian Charlie]

Snap On and Gray are the majority of my wrenches

 

[mickeyone]

Mac,craftsman,Snap on,Wright,Gearwrench<and some orphans ,Proto,Challenger and Barcalo.

 

[LordPsychon]

Kobalt for me (on special a couple of years ago, actually made in USA). Seem to be holding up pretty well. Would like to upgrade to Snap-On or Gearwrench for ratcheting combos, Kobalt version now doesn't look so hot.

 

[filtered]

I have KD, Allen, GearWrench, Craftsman Pro, and Matco XLs. Oh and a cheapo set of Kobalt stubbies.

 

[arz71]

Would like to trade in my Snap-On flank drive plus for the MAC knuckle savers!

Want to get the MAC metric set of 6MM-32MM

 

[vintage nut]

The more I think about it I don't really have one specific brand... I have at least a couple of almost every brand mentioned here
600 series hazets are very nice
Pennens corp is top notch
Old bluepoint, lots of gray, proto, mac

I don't really have any complete sets of any one brand, I just buy every quality wrench that catches my eye

you can never have too many tools

 

[Ratchet.]

My most used set are Snap-on flank drive plus, which I've had since i was an apprentice, but got a full set of Stahlwille box 13s, and a set of Williams short wrenches.

also have Hazet 600s and some random ones from Cornwell, Mac, Facom Gedore and other old American and European makes

Need to find a nice set of SAE/AF wrenches but not sure what to go for (not much things use AF in the UK these days)

 

[Farmall450]

You left out Proto?

Only 10 options

 

[toolmutt]

Voted CM, CM Pro, SO, and SK. Also have Proto, Gearwrench, and Williams.

Edit: Also have one or two DuroChrome, Plomb, Armstrong, etc in the "extras" drawer.

Gearwrench ----> Big Box/Kobalt

Seeing as they didn't have tool trucks when I made this poll!

 

[Rico.]

Most of my Spanners are either Facom or Britool...

Nice and clean. I have issues just keeping my wrenches inside my garage, much less organized and clean.

 

[Chngalay]

The majority of my wrenches are Craftsman, but also have Mac, Gearwrench, Chinese and no-name Chinese. Even have some Japanese. I'm waiting on a garage sale score for some Snap-on...

Easy to keep them clean.... I'm just a DIYer and use a socket and ratchet
99% of the time... I will only use a spanner if nothing else will fit.

The camera does make them look a bit cleaner than they really are,
only my impact sockets really looked used in my pics... weird.

 

[pfbz]

My metric wrench drawer... Separate drawer for ratcheting metric and very small sizes.

Matco main metric combo set, Toptul for oversize combo metric and short handle combo's, crafstman pro for box end, classic Bluepoint open end (my favorites by far, circa 1954, back when *all* snap-on wrenches were called bluepoints). Also have a full set of crafstman pro combinations in a second box and Pittsburg pro's (aka harbor freight) for my take-to-the-track box.

 

[onarant]

Craftsman RP, Wright, Gearwrench, and Carlyle for me.

 

[MagnumForce]

Craftsman Reversibles and Gearwrench flex heads. Anything 15/16 to 1 1/4 is Crescent.

Oh and Gearwrench Stubbies and X Beams.

 

[maico]

Stahlwille open box 14 have the best blend of qualities and price for me.

The Facom 440 are interesting. The finish is so perfect they look like they are made of liquid mercury.

 

[mailpup]

For combo wrench sets I have Craftsman RP (USA), Wright, Williams (USA & Taiwan), Snap-on, Mac, John Deere, Paramount (from MSC, Taiwan), Ace (China), Allen, Armstrong, and Gearhead (Pep Boys). I also have some USA NAPA and one old PowerKraft.

 

[bahcoswed]

My combination wrenches drawer! Stahlwille openbox 13 6-24mm and openbox 14 6-22mm

 

[ssdave]

I have a wide mix, favorites are Short Snap-On combinations, Long Mac combinations, Proto Los Angeles and Proto Pro Combinations and offset double box and angle double box and short angle box. Money no object, would be all snap-on and Mac in matched sets, except for double box Proto wins hands down. For nostalgia, would be all Proto Los Angeles.

Snap On Workbench Set SAE Shorties with some gearwrench and SK metrics:

[Jure]

Matador,Craftsman RP 6 pt,Rahsol,Gedore 1B,Wera,Toptul,Unior and few stahlwille + Hazet wrenches.

 

[Farmall450]

Napa pro,s&k, gearwrench,v8,sunex,craftsman,tsc,, think that's it.

V8? Don't think I've come across one of those in person.

 

[Farmall450]

Any new members willing to poll?
Interested in how the dynamics have changed, if at all.

I'd poll but Hazet isn't one of the options

 

[Farmall450]

If only I could have more than 10...

 

[bigjeff94]

I'm fairly new here. Another vote for Craftsman RP (usa) and gearwrench non reversible 0 offset. Eventually I'd like a set of wright grips but for now my raised panels are doing just fine.

 

[martin666]

Sets of comination wrenches would be, Snap On, Wright, Williams Superrench and older USA Blue Point

 

[mikester]

Ive got almost all early issue polished Husky with some polished Protos, Armstrong and Snap On making up for the missing sizes.

 

[Slider20]

Proto and Williams

all the other cheapo stuff I have just collects dust in bin

 

[bcexplorer]

Proto and ancient sk lectrolite for sae, mostly german stahlville hazet and dowidat for metric, also a mastercraft set of both. All over really its all from garage sales etc.
