Wrightgrip or Knucklesaver

[philcam]

I’m looking for a new set a wrenches.

Price aside, Mac Knucklesavers (Made in USA) or Wrightgrip 2.0?

I like both. I know Wright has been having some quality control issues lately but they take care of them with no issues. Both are great wrenches both USA made too.

I like the feel of the Wrightgrip 2.0 wrenches

What are the differences between Wrightgrip and Wrightgrip 2.0??

I generally really like my MAC USA tools, never got along with the Knucklesavers though, flaking chrome and uncomfortable beams.

I eventually switched to Stahlwille 14s and retired the MAC/Snap-On wrenches to my home box

I really like the Williams SuperCombo. You didn't list that but they are nice.

Do you want long pattern or standard length?

Aren't current knucklesavers the same as polished Proto ASD?

I have a mixture of both on the v2 it has more aggressive teeth .

Go with the Wright's. Skip the Mac/Proto & Williams.

old co-worker had some mac wrenches, I borrowed them a few times. The squared off edges on the beams were uncomfortable

I've got mostly snap-on at work but whenever I upgrade the cheap **** at home, I'm leaning toward SK long pattern

I would pass on the Wright grip, too many QC issues.

Get some Proto used or the Williams Supercombo, long pattern and handle shaft is comfortable.

Can you share a little more information on these issues? I am about to order some Wright wrenches and you have my attention.

What quality issues with Wright? I haven't heard of any nor read of any on this site....

I have issues with Williams' smaller wrenches spreading on the open end in sizes below 1/2". I wouldn't buy another set of Williams.
