Gearwrench 8 piece ratcheting Metric or SAE sets half off at Advance

Original price is $60, current price is $30. Bought myself a set today after passing up on the huge $200 Craftsmen mechanic's tool set from last month, I read the reviews and decided that that set wasn't for me, the Gearwrench ratcheting wrenches are supposed to be much better than Craftsmen ratcheting wrenches, and I have plenty of shallow sockets, currently building my collection of deep impact sockets. These wrenches look to be very good quality and the offset is a very nice feature.

So am I. Got a set of Blue Point ratcheting wrenches for free that were gummed up, and need complete teardown, but this is a good set to have in the traveling Benz repair kit!

Thanks for the link.

I already have a few sets of 'em, and I'm going to try my hardest to not buy more now...

That's a nice price!
I go for the double ended ones, myself. There is only so much room in the on board tool box, and there is already a set of open/box end wrenches in it.

I use 'em every day, in my repeated attempts to tighten the loose nuts in my head. Seems my head is full of uncommonly sized nuts.

Cut that contortionist crap out and keep your nuts hanging where they are supposed to be.

Sounds like I'm not the only one who needs to tighten nuts in his head.
