One of My Favorite Wrench Sets

[@martinschaffmeir7729]

Hey Tony good post. No DeWalt hand tools as of yet, this post did remind me, we bought a couple Craftsman ratchet wrenches back in the mid 80s and it still works, lost one years ago, for doing frame tents

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Martin Schaffmeir oh nice that’s awesome. Thanks for watching

[@BruceLyeg]

They look very similar to my old Blue Point reversible ratcheting wrenches, only with better chrome. Thanks for the video!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Bruce L. True I didn’t even think about that. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@CorvetteTrev]

I have that dewalt in my hand right now, SAE reversible, and you're right that gear feels solid. I wish they had the 4 other sizes 7/32, 9/32, 15/16, 1" like the 120xp GW which are like $300 no reversible 😮, those are also very nice, I'm going to keep the DeWalt Set and have to buy those extra sizes makes it a lot more. (Adjusting headlight beams on racecars) 🎉

[@Toolaholic7]

My favorite combination wrenches are the Channellock V groove wrenches.Have held up very well what I put them through for 2 years now.They are sold at any HWI Do It Best hardware stores.Ratcheting wrenches,my SK X Frames.Only had to warranty the 8mm and 10mm so far.The angle wrenches are mainly good for the heavy equipment and semi truck mechanics

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Walter Frederick very nice. I would have bought the x frame as well if I didn’t already have a crap ton of wrenches lol. But I do love those wrenches

[@cowboy41231]

I have the xframes,in metric , when they work i LOVe them... been wanting to sell this simply because I’ve warranted the entire set! Multiple times, sk warranty is stinking easy. You mail it, the return in 2 weeks, unless it’s back ordered which took them 4 months to get my 18,, 13mm and 19... they lock up , AFtER the job sadly. I’ve taken them apart and freed them up (jamming) because mine are weathered and there’s no grease or seal sadly. But undoubtedly it’s in its own class with 244 positions! Almost no backlash 1.7 degrees, every ratchet feels sloppy after using them!

[@mattmgarza]

The v-notch style----I've never seen that with any other feature on the wrench. I like that Dewalt one with the v-notch and the ratcheting feature. I recently learned that that $19.97 32 piece Walmart Hyper Tough wrench set has a v-notch design on the stubbies included in the set. I thought that was pretty impressive. I will definitely be picking up a set.

[@HardKnocksForge]

I didn't know that Default had such nice wrenches... I guess I'll have to give them a look one of these days when I can actually find them.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Hard Knocks Forge thanks and ya if you get some let me know what you think as well. Ya not very often do you see Dewalt hand tools but I have really enjoyed them. Thanks

[@hhattingh]

As a avid diy'er at the price point Dewalt works perfect for me. Granted if i was a prof tech i would probably go different route.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Agreed. I have used dewalt alot and have enjoyed it

[@josetejeda2068]

Funny that they sale them as matco, and mac in the tool trucks…they are made by some company in Taiwan.. look up Hi-Five tools.

[@BRoszel1]

If you get the chance to review a set of Wright Grips, I highly recommend them. They are made in USA & I have wrapped the head off of grade 8 bolts using the open end. I've also used them on the harbor freight bolts which are very soft medal & didn't round it off. Sheared the head. That might be even more impressive. Every other set I have just rounded the fasteners off.

[@misterrightfix4129]

That's Awesome! What about the Box and? I have seen and heard Great things about the open and of those wrenches but not much about the box and, thanks in advance!

[@desertratedc9596]

I need to get my self a set of XL flexhead ratcheting box end and flare nut wrenches. I have a set of normal craftsman combo wrenches and gearwrench reversible ratcheting combo wrenchs allready but need more specialized wrenches. I believe the husky and gearwrench reversible wrenches are all the same tool just with different branding. The Dewalt is interesting because of the additional anti slip teeth on the open end because I am sure the ratcheting end is more the likely the same as the husky and gearwrench.

[@fishingnstuff1204]

I have one of their socket and ratchet sets and have had good luck with them

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Fishing N Stuff that’s great to hear. Thanks for sharing

[@toddosterhout9866]

Tony I never used dewalt hand tools but I’ll check them out. The wrenches I’ve liked best....no sh!t are some standard KMart benchtop raised panel wrenches. Had them for over 10 years. The old made in the USA locking flex head craftsman wrenches are tough to beat

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Todd Osterhout nice. They sound nice and just glad you have a set you really enjoy as well. Thanks for sharing!! 👍🏻

[@mattmcmillan8920]

I hear ya on them benchtop wrenches I myself have about four sets and have had them for about 20 years.

[@Txdartaholic]

I have these along with the long pattern non ratcheting wrench set and both I have been impressed with, especially for how much they cost. I ended up getting each set for $30. The quality is a bit lower on the standard wrench sets (looks like they come out of a different factory than the ratcheting ones) so you may have to pick and choose the best ones. The flex head ratchet I have from them is a great buy as well... same mechanism as the HF ratchets but without the loose flex joint issues.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thanks for sharing that info and glad to hear that as well. Thank you. 👍🏻

[@danh2134]

found my set a while back at sears outlet for 29.99 , great wrenches for the price

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Dan H thank you and that’s a great deal

[@jamieharris74]

I have an identical set, except they are marked Gearwrench. Metric set cost me $35 on offer at Advance Auto. Love em, but I don’t use ratcheting wrenches all that much.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Jamie Harris oh nice. That’s a good deal. Glad you enjoy them. Thanks for watching

[@Lasurge1982]

Def would like to try the dewalt wrenches. I just recently purchased the Carlyle brand long metric non slip wrenches on special from NAPA. My next purchase is gunna be the long box end metric wrenches. I was looking at the Ez red and mountain sets. I’ve also looked at tekton. I think I might go with tekton because of there warranty.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice. Ya the tekton ones a great I have a few. Just remember they are 6 point

[@haroldkleever8213]

Nice I would like some good slim wrenches

[@frugalprepper]

I should probably get a full set one of these days. I have a mix of some SO, Blue Pointe, and Williams ones now, but don't have a 12 or a 14, 16, or a 17.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

FrugalPrepper's Garage & Garden nice. Ya if you get some please let me know what you think as well. Thank you!

[@charleshartwell9069]

Great video Tony, I enjoy dewalt hand tools. Built good and decent priced!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Charles Hartwell thank you I completely agree 👍🏻

[@danmckevittstoolsbagels3258]

I'll have to try them out I love wrenches

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Dan McKevitt ya please let me know what you think. I have really enjoyed them

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

Great video thanks brother. I didn't have a clue Dewalt made wrenches. Great review on them glad they are working out for you. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Scott Pearson TOOLS &MORE thank you I’m glad you enjoyed.

[@craigdave3266]

The price is really good and no skips I got the Craftsman for 85$ then I got the 11mm to 25$ then 32$ to the 19mm and im missing 16 and 18

[@LukesAmateurHour]

Good to know! I wouldn't have really considered DeWalt for ratcheting wrenches.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Luke's Amateur Hour ya I wouldn’t have either. But when I saw them for a good price I decided to try them and I’m glad I did. Thanks for watching

[@markquinlan6406]

Does DeWalt have those in a 12 point ratcheting wrench where are they all spline Drive

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Idk know about them being spline drive but they have 12 point ratcheting

[@harleyadam4813]

My favorite (and most often used) wrenches are DEFINITELY my Tekton long-handled flex head double box end ratcheting wrenches. Theyre very durable, the fit and finish is great, they have a snug fit on fasteners and they apply A LOT of torque, all for a great price.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Harley Adam ya those are an amazing wrench set especially for the price. Thanks for sharing.

[@Artiscrafty]

Just ordered a set.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Very nice. I hope you enjoy

[@dh.mowersblowersservicesll4061]

Great video brother . Love the wrenches. Seems like u gotta alot more tools ,when was the last time u did a tool box tour? . #keepwrenchin

[@hachi-rokuperformancegroup3987]

Great video as usual

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@killerbee25100]

So a set usually has 10 wrenches 🔧?

[@joeypreciado7049]

Hi Tony great video I'm looking to get a set of combination wrenches I'm just switching careers let in my life. I have no experience so applied at couple dealership for lube techs to get my foot in the door. I been thinking about tekton set but also milwaukee combination wrench set max bite .Any thoughts on these two sets. Do you know any one with the milwaukee

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Thank you I have heard good things about the milwaukee set. I'm not sure I have seen many professionals using them in the shop. I know first hand the tekton ones are good but haven't personally used the milwaukee ones. The reason I would go tekton in this case is the ease of warranty. I would hate to hassle with a warranty on a tool I use constantly.

[@darrenklein8358]

Tony I’m in the market to buy a new set of ratcheting flex wrenches for both metric and sae. What brand would you suggest I buy? I want lifetime warranty but outside that the best bang for the buck.

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Tekton definitely has some good ones for the price but keep in mind the box end is 6 point. So if you don't want 6 point. Capri tools has some good ratcheting wrenches they have both flex heads and reversible ratcheting wrenches. Gearwrench also has some good sets but I like to get hands on the gearwrench sets bc some are Taiwan and some are China and it definitely has a quality difference. If you want good affordable ones with a great and easy warranty. I would suggest either tekton or Capri.

[@darrenklein8358]

@@TonyTheTechnician Thanks Tony!!

[@TonyTheTechnician]

No problem. Thanks for watching 👍

[@therealScorpionMotorsports]

Not even gonna lie. I've been researching ratchet wrenches for the past 2 days, trying to decide which set to buy. Then you post this vid. Creeped me out a little Lmfao. Leaning towards the capri. I have a small auto repair business (evenings and weekends) which do you recommend?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Bj Welch nice. I think you would like the Capri as well. They are both good sets

[@mechanicandskills7215]

You dont use them to crack the bolt lose do you ??

[@TonyTheTechnician]

Not usually unless they are a smaller fastener that won't damage a ratcheting mechanism. Any larger fastener I always break loose with a non ratcheting box end or open end

[@mechanicandskills7215]

[@meathead6590]

I like my expert ratcheting wrenches in metric they go from 6 to 24mm and for none ratcheting wrenches I like Milwaukees new ones

Does anyone know why they discontinued these?

[@TonyTheTechnician]

If you look online they are still available on Amazon and home Depot and DeWalt websites

[@guap0sgame702]

TonyTheTechnician nah bro dewalt stated there discontinued the only ones you find on amazon are the newer version ones or people re selling that exact model but that exact set from dewalt you can’t find

[@DownHillgamer]

Just ordered a single 18mm 120xp flex head wrench to replace a busted gm goodwrench, ive been happy with my long combination wrenches from gearwrench but my 72t combination wrenches from them are a little sloppy, the open end of the wrench is just large and weird lol, probably shoulda got the 90t set for the 20 extra bucks. Ohwell now i know. Sweet looking box though!

[@RJM_2023]

The DeWalt DWMT72168 set is no longer available.. Shame..

[@TonyTheTechnician]

The wrenches are still available it's just these links aren't up to date anymore. All of my newer videos now have up to date links in the description of you just click on the tools link 👍

[@RJM_2023]

@@TonyTheTechnician Thanks. but I see the 12 pc set, not the 10 pc set. Plus the 12 pc is not anti slip. Or am I missing something?

@@RJM_2023 you might be able to find them on the home Depot website as well

[@fullporaport]

I still dont understand why we still cant find a nice 120 tooth wrench with an offset, a reversable option and a flexible head all in one instead of one set for each features. One Set to rule them all, One Set to find them, One Set to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

great video Tony thanks brother but i gotta say LOL no love for the Tekton lol i was sure they were going to be Tekton hahaha because of you i bought both the SAE and the Metric sets of Tekton combo wrenches ;) and i love them so a big thank you for that too. but no love for Tekton Tony ? lol guys i think the real Tony has been abducted by aliens and replaced by a intruder :P
