First, these are the original GearWrenches with the 15 degree offset and 5 degree click. I have socket sets that require more swing clearance to move a bolt. Flick the switch to change direction, no wrench flipping. Use the open end for bruiting, or not.

I work in maintenance and my tools are my lively hood and sanity. I changed jobs and suddenly I was in a metric world and needed more wrenches. There was no doubt what wrenches I wanted.

ToolTopia, an Amazon partner had the right tool at the best price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good quality, potentially limited usability, December 31, 2007

This review is from: GearWrench 9620 12 Piece Metric Reversible Combination Ratcheting Wrench Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

The order was delivered without issue and returned without issue, so first off Tooltopia was great to deal with, but now the wrenches themselves. They are nicely made and feel and look sturdy. The problem lies in the design of the wrenches. They have a box-end "stop-cap" design. A steel ring forged onto one side of the box end. This means a nut cannot pass all the way through the box end of the wrench and you can only engage a nut from one side of the box end. The design idea is that the wrench can't slip off a fastener being turned if it's being driven up a threaded rod, but it severely limits the wrench usability to me, since I can't flip the wrench over and engage a fastener from the other direction.

I ended up returning these wrenches and bought a set of Craftsman reversible wrenches, for almost 2x more money. I really would have liked to have kept these wrenches as the price was good and the tools look/feel well made, but that cap-stop design was a deal breaker for me.
