Got some more wrenches in today.
« on: January 14, 2019, 06:59:22 PM »
This 7pc set of NAPA USA metric combos was $23 shipped which isn't bad at all.

They really look like a crsftsman minus the raised pannel, so the finish isn't spectacular but they should be a decent serviceable wrench.

 
Sizes are 10mm 12mm 13mm 14mm 15mm 17mm and 19mm.

Figured they were somewhat recent.

They seem nice enough and the price was right , seller had a multiples and even SAE's.
I wouldn't mind having them , so when I saw make an offer I decided I'd see just how much of a deal I can get.

HnS,

I saw a fairly recent Napa Professional combo wrench at the dirt market this weekend.  Full polish, long pattern, a match for any tool truck brand.  These are some fine wrenches.  I have no idea what these wrenches go for but they look like something I would be proud to own.
When my wife leaves me, my dog dies, and they repossess my home, I'll still have my tools.

Sounds like an excellent wrench, I've heard good things about those.

Got 'em down to $14 , so $21.50 shipped.
I don't think I truly needed to have them, but it will be nice having both the metrics and SAE's.

HnS,

Combo wrenches are my go-to tools in the garage.  They are indispensable.

That said, when space and weight are a concern (i.e. portable tool boxes & tool rolls, and generally any tool carried in a vehicle) I use DOE's because of their design efficiency.

That's definitely true.
The old Stanley west German DOE's I've got in my go box are definitely preferred since I get more sizes.

I have a very similar set only labeled Allen. At one point the NAPA, Allen, and Masterforce all looked exactly the same. They are good wrenches just be sure you clean them, mine developed some surface rust on the beam after working on a salty truck.
