Title: I think I could be in love....but it's gonna cost me!
Post by: bonneyman on January 20, 2020, 05:23:40 PM

I never thought I'd find a ratcheting flare wrench that would steal my affections away from Bonney, but just saw a video on these Tribus Tool ratcheting line wrenches. I gotta say I'm impressed! Takes the established ratcheting system of a moveable ring inside an open end (the old TAC wrenches IIRC),  and adds one heck of a grip profile. Plus flex head, PLUS USA made!  8)  Definitely would come in handy when working on an ABS power module.

Only $350 for a set of five (SAE or metric)! I'm in love.....but broke! :))

What do you guys think?

I have a big set of the TAC ones or I'd think about it.

Honestly I don't think that is a crazy high price. My Snap On guy always explains it well. Think of all the time and machine and tooling work that went into those. They aren't harbor freight pot metal. Obviously he's a good sales man.
