Note that some sets have a less useful 18mm instead of a more useful 19mm.

I think this is usually on the inexpensive open end combo wrenches, not true gearwrench... and they often leave out the 16 as well... I've even seen sets with 8,9,10,11,13,14,15,17,18... no 12!

I bought a set for myself. These are the ratcheting GearWrenches, and the heads tilt a range of 180 degrees. Since I bought them, for 60 off the retail, I was passing the info along to the group here.

You missed black Friday. 20pc gear wrench set for $30 or so. I got the craftsman metric 8 piece set for $20. All made in the USA.

If I had more money to burn I'd get these as well.

Watch toolguyd.com for more awesome deals.

keep in mind I've heard that craftsman no longer honors the lifetime warranty on tools... it's ONCE per customer now...
I have NOT confirmed this, but it is what I have heard.

Now isn't that a perfect example of hearsay in action?

Looking at our local Sears store online flyier, they have this set for $39.99
Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more=||

It`s the metric set and Sae set.

I picked up a set of the XL X-beam 7 piece metric, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17 and 19mm. non flex straight head Gear Wrench. this set is the extra ling wrenches.

then went back a few days later and bought another set, but were Craftsman for about the same price.

probably other tools on sale in the store not listed. can`t have too many tools.
