SKTools USA 12 Piece, 6 Point, Metric -Frame® Combination Ratcheting Wrench Set | 80019

Finally a nice American made tool that has no slop in the ratchet and a sturdy 6 sided option. The chrome finish is excellent, and I'm finding that I trust them enough for any ratchet application without worrying that I'm going to break it. If I have access I don't even reach for a socket.

I love these tools. They are a little longer than standards combination wrenches, which gives a little extra leverage, which is great. I can also see where the extra length would be an issue but I haven't run into that yet.The ratcheting side is very smooth. Fantastic. Love it. Very short arc makes it easy to use. I don't have another set of ratcheting wrenches to compare them too but the ratchet end doesn't seem to thick or fat, so it shouldn't get in the way too often. It is naturally fatter than a standards box end wrench, so if the nut/bolt is very close to a obstacle, you may not get the ratchet around over the nut due to the obstacle. When replacing a fan clutch, I did have to use the open end side for a bit to get the head of the bolt in far enough to the the box end under the fan clutch and over the head of the bolt. Not a deal breaker, you just have to know that going in. Don't over loosen the bolt or the tool will be trapped.They seem very strong. The finish on the tools is fantastic and cleans up easily. Time to save up for the other set.

Bought SAE and metric set. 6 of 12 wrenches from metric set were made in China. Entire SAE set made in China. 10mm was bound up and did not work. Called customer service and it sounded like the rep seemed sincerely sad that the company was pushing inferior product( there is a difference after handling both). She said they still make sockets in the USA but not much else. It's ashame because I really wanted these wrenches.

Received this set a few days ago. Comparing this set with my USA made Craftsman set that I've had for many years it's like a big brother side-by-side with a younger brother. The SK wrenches are quite a bit larger than the Craftsman wrench of the same bolt size. I see this as a statement of the quality of SK tools compared to other tool makers.Even the high polished chrome finish looks superior to the same finish on the Craftsman wrenches.On to the movement of the tool.The ratchet movement of the SK wrenches feel like a highly precise mechanism with very tight tolerances and a very smooth movement. Length of travel between teeth engagement is superior to the Craftsman wrench.IMO these SK wrenches are top quality, and for this price they're a better value than Snap On. I know making this claim will raise doubt with some people. But, I can say this with no uncertainty having used Williams, Blue Point, and Snap-On tools for many years on the job.I have no doubt these SK tools will out live me and provide many years of reliable use as they are passed down to my son and on to his son.

After all the positive reviews I was so excited to get these SK wrenches today.....but you can imagine my disappointment upon inspecting them. Almost every ratcheting boxend was off centered. Take a look at the pictures and you’ll see that the chrome is thicker on one side. I even used a micrometer to confirm this because I didn’t believe what I was seeing. Then I found others with flat spots on the body of the wrench underneath the chrome. I was really looking forward to these especially since they were made in the USA. Going to try and have this set replaced because maybe it was bad luck and this was just “that set”...But if you have this set already, take a good look at them.!!!

These wrenches are really nice! Prior to buying these I read several reviews that talked about defects in the finish. I observed no defects in mine. I own several S & K tools and know them to be a fine, made in USA brand. The arc swing on them is super tight! I have never used a gear wrench like this before. You barely have to move it to get it to ratchet.The only draw back is I wish the boxed end was 12 point instead of 6. I also am curious to see how the ratchet will hold up under use. We do a lot of heavy truck repair and the tools get really greasy. I’m concerned dirt and grime will work its way into the paws on this very fine tooth ratcheting system. Time will tell, but as of now very impressed.

One of the pictures clearly shows USA stamp on the wrench, this is not true. For 300$ i could buy entire shelf of chineese tools. I realy try to invest in good tools for my workshop and this is pure flusration.Still have to dicide if i want to return it or not.Only gave it 3 stars because of obvious fraud.The only reason its not returned yet is that its realy hard to find decent set of 6 point racheting wrenches...The set itself looks ok, minor scraches from production, mechanism appears to work fine.There is a minor offset like others said, but its hardly visible.

American made metric ratcheting combination wrench set you must own.* Chrome finish awesome!* Ratcheting is very fine, 6 point* Open end includes "SureGrip", similar to flank drive plus or WrightGrip.The set I purchased was packaged in a clean box, all wrenches are clean and was in a sealed plastic vacuum to keep them clean until I opened them. The tray it comes with is perfect if you have the drawer space (I do).The 8mm ratcheting action at first felt like it was binding, but after working it a little bit it got smooth like the rest of the wrenches.Only drawbacks I see are 6 point, and no angle at box end, ratcheting direction cannot be changed you need to flip the wrench.
