Wright Tool 950, 11 Pc. Full Polsih Metric Combination Wrench Set 7mm-19mm 12 Pt

Just got these off the UPS truck; 10 O'clock surprise?

These will be replacing some Raised Panel Cmans at work, and I have a SAE set that is arriving on Monday (#915 5/16" - 1-1/4").

I have no experience with Wright, so I figured I would give these a try over Snap-ons. They are "Wright Grip", which for anyone who doesn't know by now, is like Snap-ons "Flank Drive +" on their open ends.

Does anyone here have anything to say about these specific wrenches? I'm expecting them to perform nicely for their respective jobs.

Ive got about 5 wright wrenches Ive picked up on various trips to the flea markets and I can say they are great. They have a snug fit and good grip on bolts. No to mention they have a comfortable feel in your hand and are made in the USA! Barberton, Ohio, if im correct.

I am a big fan of craftsman, and most of my wrenches are craftsman raised panel, but if I had to choose between the Craftsman and Wright, advantage Wright.

When you compare wright and Snap on, I would buy the wrights! Snap on 11piece set from 3/8 to 1'' is $380. Wright identical set is $140 from epsteins.

How about a picture outside of the case? I have been wondering about purchasing a set or two [standard and metric] of the wrights, let us know how you like them

I have that set plus 20-24mm. I got it at Epsteins. Great wrenches. They aren't long, they have nice chrome, and they have a little weight to them. If I need long I'll grab my zero offsets. They will serve you well. Congratulations on your wrenches:thumbup:

I've got a similiar set in the roll that I picked up about 15 years ago. I love em. They still look almost as good as the day I bought them.

That Snap-on link isn't for the Flank Drive Plus :p, so expect the cost difference to be even a little more than that. They look great, and come on - they're wrenches. They ought to do fine.

I have the same set. Love them. The beam size and shape are the most comfortable wrenches I have. These are made for industrial customers, so the box end head is a bit thicker, and the wrenches are a tad on the short side, but nothing a ball pein hammer can't fix. And sometimes short is exactly what I need. All in all, they're a keeper.

What do you do in the rare case you have to warranty one? Send it in?

I have some vintage Wright wrenches that I think were made by MAC or vice versa or somebody supplied both of them with the same wrenches and they are great.
