How do you like the Sunex wrenches overall (length, feel, quality of chrome, etc.?) Looking to upgrade my metric set from Craftsman raised panels, really want Snap On but they're crazy expensive even used. Was thinking maybe Gearwrench, but the Sunex stuff has caught my attention lately. Bought a set of their impact sockets and they seem really nice.
I really like them. To be fair, I won the Sunex 9922 set during the sunex 12 days of Christmas. Who doesn't like free tools?? Ended up getting the 9922M set to round it out. ~110 for both the 12 piece and 13 piece metric and SAE sets if you shop around.
Guess it is time to say thank you to Sunex for great free tools!
I have been using them a bunch since I got them, they feel great. They are not super thick, or extra long, but they feel better in the hand than my C-man raised panel wrenches. Suitably thick to put some force into them and also plenty long for a std length wrench.
The chrome seems to be top notch, little to no damage to it yet. Even after sliding them around on the garage floor.
The sets I have are the ratcheting wrenches. The ratchet end is a spline. It works fine and does not seem to damage fasteners. Its taken a while but I am starting to like the spline box end. It works great on crusty rusty fasteners.
The open end bites spectacularly. I couldn't believe it the first time I used them. I could put load on the bolt then try and pull the wrench off and it wouldn't slip off!! You have to release almost all torque before they will come off. When I was playing with that I was using the 3/4.
Unfortunately, I cannot say how they rank against the other choices as all I have to compare them with are my old USA C-man raised panels I got from my father.
Hope that helps.
