GearWrench Extra Long Pattern Metric GearBox Ratcheting Wrench Set (12-Piece) – a Home Depot Seeds Program ReviewI was looking for a ratcheting box wrench for a project I was working on and realized that, despite having lots of ratchet sockets, I didn’t have any box wrenches. I got this GearWrench Ratcheting Wrench set to solve that problem.These wrenches are double box so one of the ends is not open to make a combination wrench. Only one of the ends ratchets. This set is also just metric and the twelve wrenches cover 8mm through 19mm. I really liked this set for the extra length of them. The range in length from 22cm (8 5/8 inches) for the 8mm to 39.5cm (15.5 inches) for the 19mm wrench. This is considerably longer than the identically sized GearWrench Combination set which range from 14cm for the 8mm and 14.7cm for the 19mm wrench. The extra length lets you get into some far reaching spots and provides greater torque. This comes at the expense of not being able to get into some tight spots and the greater torque may mean sheared bolts.I have several GearWrench tools and have had no issues with them. The wrenches are maufactured in Taiwan from some sort of alloy steel and the finish on them is full polish chrome. The sizes are etched in very heavily so you’ll be able to read them even after significant abuse. The packaging says there’s a lifetime warranty on them but I didn’t look into what that entails. The come in a hard plastic case with the sizes marked on the slots as well. The case does not have a lid and acts more like a rack that keeps them visible and locked well into place if you need to carry them around.There’s no reverse lever on these wrenches so you need to turn the wrench over to loosen/tighten a nut. The ratchet has a very light action which I really like since you don’t need to have the nut or bolt tightened very much for the ratchet to work. The ratchet also has 72 teeth so it will operate in as little as five degrees. I’m not sure what the material is for the actual ratchet but it’s a different material than the wrench material. It didn’t scratch and it seems pretty sturdy so I don’t expect them to fail. There’s no offset on either the ratcheting box end or the standard box end but on the standard end the box protrudes slightly from the handle for a little better access.This is a pretty good set of wrenches if you want two box ends with only one end ratcheted. They’re well etched with their sizes, the alloy steel used has worked well in other GearWrench tools I have, the polished chrome finish is attractive and the carrying case locks the wrenches in well. The action on the 72 tooth ratchet is light and will loosen and tighten nuts and bolts that are only lightly finger tightened. The extra length provides great additional torque and allows for use in some very hard to reach spots. I like the set and will be making use of it. I normally like having some offset on the ends which should certainly be possible with the non-ratcheted end but with no reverse lever, doing so on the ratcheted end would be inconvenient.

This is an extra long metric double box end 12 point wrench set with one side that ratchets. Overall this is a good set of metric wrenches. I tightened a torque wrench into a vice with different size hex sockets on it and tested the wrenches to see how much torque they could handle. The 19mm ratcheting mechanism was able pull against 150 ft lbs without any damage to the wrench. When I tried the 16mm ratcheting mechanism it too was able to pull against 150 ft lbs but after the test I realized the ratcheting mechanism was frozen. Fortunately, I was able to flip the wrench over and pull the opposite direction on the ratchet mechanism and it broke loose and began functioning properly again. I did not test the smaller sizes against the torque wrench as I feared I might permanently break the mechanisms.The extra length of the wrenches and the extra wide surface on the fixed box end make it easy to break loose nuts and fasteners. The ratcheting mechanism with five degree movement is very helpful for working in confined spaces. The kit includes 12 wrenches from 8mm to 19mm in 1mm increments. The fixed end and the ratcheting end are the same size and there is no offset on the ends. Etching on the wrenches for size and part number is deep and easy to read. I have two concerns with the set. First, the blow molded case is only a tray (i.e.: no lid) with no carrying handle so the wrenches can come loose during transportation and there is no easy way to carry them. The tray does feature tabs that can be popped out to screw to the wall but only on one end. Second, there are grind marks on every wrench near the fixed box end. Whatever polishing process they use at the factory is missing this area. It is not so noticeable that it detracts from the look of the wrench but it does make me wonder if this area will be susceptible to rusting.

The 12 piece extra long metric ratcheting wrench set is terrific. No more knuckle busters with my smaller wrenches that I have been using. I like the extra long wrenches because it give you more torque and easy to handle. Made of a high quality material and are very durable. I also like the ratcheting of the wrenches. You do not have to hunt for your wrenches because they are stored in any easy plastic tray that is included with the wrench set. The wrenches are very strong for their length and do not bend. Very sturdy and the wrench set would last a long time. Just flip the wrench over and you can easily tighten or take off with ease. I would recommend this ratcheting wrench set to anyone who uses tools. Fantastic.

Tight spot? No problem. Used these to get some bolts off an old axle carrier that was in a really, really tight spot. The solid ring ends are fantastic for breaking bolts free and the ratcheting end means that it doesn’t take an extra hour to do the job. These really are a life saver. I’m only an amateur mechanic but I don’t think I’ll ever need to upgrade. They seem well made, especially for the price. The box is a little odd – no lid, as shown in the picture. That’s ok with me though!

I got these as part of the SEEDS evaluation program. I have combination Gear Wrenches in SAE sizes up to 1″, but not metric, so these were a score. These are what you’d expect for typical Gear Wrench quality, nicely made with polished chrome plated finish. They are also long pattern, which is a plus. What I had a problem with was they had no offset at either end. This is not typical of most combination wrenches, there is usually a small angle at the box end so you can torque from the open end without busting knuckles. And these are ratcheting wrenches, they are going to get swung back and forth, they are designed for it. But their side profile is as straight as a Kansas country road. I’ll take them because they were free, but if I was buying, I would look at another brand. Husky, maybe?

Saved $260 by not buying experts off the mac truck. Good quality, extremely comparable to the Mac tools experts. Both made in tiawan anyway.

Ever since I got my first set of GearWrench ratcheting wrenches, I’ve been greatly impressed with their high quality and thoughtful design features. This 12-piece set of extra-long pattern metric double box ratcheting wrenches is no exception. It includes wrenches from 8 to 19 mm in 1 mm increments made of chromed vanadium steel. The ratcheting box end uses their patented “surface drive” design that helps prevent bolt heads from rounding over.These wrenches are up to 40% longer than standard box wrenches so you can reach a hard-to-reach nut or bolt head with less pain and strain. Another thing I like about GearWrench sets is that they come with a well-designed storage and display case that allows you to access the needed size quickly and easily. Some other manufacturers make great tools, but their storage cases are poorly designed and you can’t get the tool out easily. Not so with GearWrench. This particular set is made in Taiwan, but is comparable in quality to any American made product.

This GearWrench ratcheting double box end wrench set will cover most metric bolts or nuts. These are extra long for reaching deep, hard to get bolts and nuts. This set is a 12 peice set starting at 8mm, going all the way up to 19mm. The 8mm is 8.5″ , the 19mm is 15.5″ . The quality is great. The finish is great. The non ratcheting end features zero degree offset, the ratcheting ends are 5 degree offset. I’m very satisfied with them!

Tools a craftsman will take pride in. Finely finished forgings. Easy to keep clean. Slim profile and excellent balance. Five degree ratchet allows plenty of maneuverability in tight spaces. (A three degree feature is available in flex-head wrenches by the same manufacturer.) The XL pattern reaches confined fasteners. Often handy in congested engine bays, confined transmission tunnels and about congested chassis. Also highly useful on fixed motor bases and nut-on-stud leveled base plates. In some enclosures, I’ve reached fasteners without removing shrouds or heat shields; a great labor saving. The slim beam and thin wall style box end are enabling assets. The finely polished wrenches provide plenty of grip whether you’re wearing nitrile or mechanics gloves. The size etchings (both ends and both sides) are large and distinct. The original packaging is useful in ones roll cab drawer. Most common sizes are included in the set. 24 and 25mm XL wrenches are available separately. The corner-loading socket pattern is less likely to round fasteners than do open ends and flat style sockets. One can use the non-ratcheting end for aggressively loosening stubborn fasteners. Manufacturer offers limited lifetime warranty.

Extra Long Pattern Metric GearBox Ratcheting Wrench Set (12-Piece)by GearWrenchPackaging Contents: 12 extra long box end wrenches in plastic trayDescription: These are the extra long reach metric versions of the GearWrench box end sets. However, these are ratcheting box end on one end and regular box end on the other.The sizes range from 8 to 19 mm.Lifetime Warranty.Usage: I like that the long beam reach gives more leverage to break free stubborn bolts and nuts, as well as being able to reach into deeper, tighter locations. An added benefit is the small 5 degree ratcheting that is available from GearWrench brand.These wrenches have a zero offset, and so work well in either direction. The boxes are of 12 point design.The finish is always good, and the strength is fine as well.I like that they organize their wrenches in flat trays that can be placed right into a toolbox drawer, or hung on a wall. They won’t come loose if shaken upside down. Nice.An added benefit is that you’re buying a complete set with no missing sizes in-between.These were compared to a similar set from Snap-On and we found that these are longer and therefore give better leverage. With the strong construction of them, they will not break when applying this added leverage. That makes them a better buy than the competition.A professional mechanic’s review rated them at least as good as any other brand.Overall Thoughts:If you’ve come to really like the GearWrench tools, you’ll love these, even if a little more expensive.

I am impressed with the construction of these wrenches. The fixed end has an extended well making it easier to fit on the nut or bolt you are spinning. The extended reach neck gives them longer reach and also providing more leverage to loosen the really tight bolts you may encounter. The finish is nice and they clean up well after use. These are a good addition to my tool supply and will make jobs easier because I have the right tool for the job.
