I don't know how you guys can stand those open ends with all the teeth in them. Sure they're great for rounded off nuts, but if you ever use them on brand new nuts that aren't stripped out, those gimmicky open ends with the teeth get caught on the corners of the nut as you're trying to pull the wrench away.
Try an ASD Proto wrench perhaps? Similar benefits, less extreme design.
For the OP, there's nothing wrong with Craftsman wrenches. The brand attracts a lot of criticism for not being the same tool people remember from their rose-colored past, but it's a competitive offering in the modern market.
However, when buying large size wrenches of
any brand, make sure you compare their physical dimensions. I don't mean the openings (a 35mm wrench is a 35mm wrench, with slightly different tolerance levels perhaps - but rarely enough to matter). I mean that some brands make shorter, skinnier wrenches in the larger sizes, presumably to save materials. A full-sized 35mm wrench is quite a bit of steel.
If you only shop based on price, especially online, you might not realize that the cheap sets aren't as long or robust as the more reputable brands. If they make a wrench a couple inches shorter and 30% thinner, it might work for you or might not - but it's certainly different from the full-sized version.
That has nothing to do with Craftsman specifically, but this is Garagejournal; while you asked about Craftsman specifically, you're going to get at least a dozen different recommendations. Make sure you're comparing apples to apples.
