Wrench set wanted

I’m looking for a specific wrench set. It may not exist so I might have to piece it together by buying individual wrenches. Thought someone here might have a bright idea of a company that would have what I’m looking for.

Looking for a flex head ratcheting wrench set with the following sizes:
8, 10, 12, 13, 14
3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16

I don’t mind getting a set with another size or two but don’t want every wrench size. I am somewhat limited on wrench drawer space as I already have both non ratcheting as well as ratcheting wrenches. I have other wrenches in every size so these would be for specialty work as needed.

Lots of the sets I looked at have most of what I want but not all. For example, I don’t need 11mm but do want 14mm. Some sets I’ve looked at have no 14mm but do have a 15mm…which I almost never use.

My current ratcheting wrenches are Gearwrench but I’m not brand loyal. And, Gearwrench doesn’t have the set I want. I just want a decent quality set of flex head wrenches in the common sizes I use the most.

If I can’t find a set that has what I want, I’ll probably just buy individual Gearwrench flex head ratcheting wrenches until I have the set I want.

Thanks for the input!!

Buy individuals? No one makes sets like what you want.

Edit: knurlednut has good options below. I missed you being ok with a few other sizes.

You'll have to probably piece it together,those sizes are good choices.No use paying for what you already have got covered.And the money you save, you can do better than Gear Wrench I.M.O

NAPA currently has the 14 pc SAE/MM Gearwrench 85141 set on monthly special for $87.49.

Thanks for this heads up. I picked up this set at Napa today. Regularly around $120 or so. Still have to get a 8mm and it has more wrenches than I need but this will be cheaper than buying all the individual wrenches separately. For anyone interested, in my Napa store it said this sale price was through the end of March.

All my ratcheting wrenches are Gearwrench so they will be a good addition to my existing ratcheting wrenches.

I feel that was a solid choice.
Adding to the family you already have makes sense.
I've had success with NAPA warrantying Gearwrench too, which is definitely a consideration with ratcheting wrenches.
I know GW gets a lot of criticism, but their non-reversible have a good reputation of durability. I use some of the smaller sizes and they have held up well.
Thats a good price and would be tempting if I needed them.

I’m wondering if these are being closed out in favor of the 90T ones. I can get a 90T 8mm but not this same one. Either way, they seem to be just as good as my other Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches. I was able to squeeze them all in to the metric and SAE drawers but did have to move around a few things.
