^ This. They are still available, are thicker and feel better than almost any wrench I have ever owned, and are reasonably priced.

I have the original version of that one. They're awe$ome. ASD are better.

Any of the industrial brands will serve you well at that price (Williams, Proto, Wright, Armstrong) as well as SK. I have only used the Gearwrench wrenches a few times and will say that the other brands listed are going to be a better quality tool. Other's mileage may very. If this is your only wrench set I would stick to ones without the added gripper/anti-slip. They do work but can leave marks on fasteners. Sometimes when you least want them too.

Hope this helps. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Cheers,
Chris

That kills the whole thread right there.

Not all of us are pros. I'd love to have a whole set of fractional and metric Snap On, but can't justify the cost. I've got SK and GW, (as well as Craftsman and Bonney), and all have done the job. Between the two, SK gets the nod because they're made here. YMMV
