In Elroy's quest to augment his selection of metric hand tools, Elroy came to the conclusion ( right or wrong ) that he needed another set of metric combination wrenches. I watched Elroy struggle with his decision to purchase a set of ratcheting combination wrenches.
Should Elroy select the non-switchable, flip over style with the straight shank ? Or should he elect the reversible style with the conventional 15 degree, knuckle clearance off set ? Elroy came to the conclusion that he preferred the reversible switchable style with the 15 degree, off set shank. Review of local selections didn't yield the results Elroy was hoping for.
As with all the purchases Elroy makes, I watched Elroy struggle with making a selection. For Elroy's amateur attempts at being a shade tree mechanic, he simply could NOT justify the cost of truck brand tools. While the offerings of typically USA manufactured PROTO was extremely temping. The spine drive box end combined with their black chrome finish combined with their excessive cost was not appealing. Elroy made the decision to look at the Gearwrench offerings from Danaher.
While shopping for Gearwrench availability, Elroy elected to purchase their 12 piece #9620N set which spanned 8 through 19MM. Combining that with their four piece # 9601N "add-on" set that included 21,22, 24 and 25 MM wrench PLUS their (16) piece rack yielded a nearly full set of reversible metric ratcheting wrenches. Purchase was made at a total of $140.79, freight paid.
Made in China
So there you have it..................................IT sucks but I watched Elroy take a drink of Chinese goodness.
I think Elroy just puked and I believe he's consider their return. Sooooooooo what say you ?
Return or keep ?
