Recommended Flex Head Ratcheting Wrenches? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #98862 4 posts Started by narly_charley
Hey all! I'm torn between getting either a dual box end set or combination. Six point is a requirement, as 12's are garbage and pointless when you have so many teeth in these wrenches. I'm also wondering if I'd benefit from the long handle box end set vs. the shorter combination set. The leverage is nice, but it could inhibit you working in certain areas - though, the flex head can help with that. Thoughts (maybe from experience)?

Nah, you'll end up getting both. short ratchet wrenches are great, but so are long ones. Combination is more useful than double box except for the very long wrenches, those should be double box because anything needing that much torque will round with an open end. Zero offset long box with a flex head ratcheting end would be ideal, not sure anyone makes the ideal setup though so you end up with about 8 sets of wrenches....
