I had a need (okay a desire) for a complete set of wrenches that were a little on the larger side. At least from what I normally use.
I decided I would dip my toe in the water with wright wrenches by getting their 915 set with their grip 2.0 design.
When they arrived, my first thought was holy ****. This is really heavy. And then when I opened up the set I thought wow that's a really big set. Those are clearly much larger then my Craftsman overdrive wrenches or my Craftsman v-series wrenches.
And then I put them next to each other.
In the upper left you have kind of a small set of V series ratcheting wrenches that goes from 5/16 to 3/4.
The open end on the ratcheting wrench is marginally larger In width and not quite as thick. The ratcheting end is much larger but that's to be expected. The handle is significantly thinner and not even almost as comfortable for me, as the right wrench. I was surprised that they are roughly the same length.
What? I did not realize is that the Craftsman overdrive wrenches are actually longer by about the length of the head. The open heads are roughly the same size and the same width, but the handle thickness on the right wrench is much thicker. I say that and I realize maybe I'm wrong. It just feels so much better in the hand. The edges aren't quite as sharp on the wright wrench. Okay so the wright wrench is indeed thicker but not by as much as I expected given how it just feels better in my hand. The difference is probably 0.05" but the taper shape is just some much more comfortable in my hand.
All I can say is wow I really like these.
I mean obviously if I compare them to my tekton long-handled double-ended ratcheting wrenches, The Tekton are significantly longer. Not quite double but almost... I did not compare them to my older wrenches that I keep in my garage, but that is a larger set than I have historically kept in my basement shop.
But wow, I think I'm going to order the metric version of this
