These offset ratcheting Metric wrenches are very practical and useful all around the shop and yard. I really enjoy working with the angled design. It helps to keep fingers from pinch points and provides a wider arc of swing when in tight spaces. The simple reverse click pins are easy to actuate with...

Metric offset ratchet box wrenches

This set is the counterpart of the similar inch-size set. By limiting the number of tools in the set to the same number of tools as the inch size set in order to have the same price point, Sears made a minor mistake that is costly for the tool user to correct. Sizes 11, 16, 17 and 18mm are not to be... read full review »

Quality tools

The bend is perfect. I've used these on my grill guard and other small projects.

I am an ASE Certified auto tech that uses Craftsman almost exclusively and I don't like these.

They require to much movement to grab the next gear when trying to ratchet so they aren't good in tight spots.

These Craftsman offset ratchet wrenches work okay.  The don't have the fine gear count of other ratcheting wrenches so they need to swing more before catching the next gear click.  But these wrenches due have a nice offset that allows them to go where standard ratcheting wrenches can't.

These wrench sets have to be one of the best values in the Sears tool department.  They cover a wide variety of common metric fasteners.  The offset wrench helps to keep your hand a safe distance from the object where the fastener is located.

Work Great

These ratcheting wrenches work great for tight spots and long bolts/shanks. They're even better when you can catch them on sale.

Right tool for the job

Trying to get a socket onto a long bolt in a tight spot on my car was getting pretty frustrating. I bought the 5 pc Offset Racheting Box End Wrench set as a last resort. It did the trick, getting into the tight spot, over the long bolt and onto the stubborn nut. Although the strokes were really short due to no room, the clicks added up and I eventually got both mounting bracket bolts off and was able to proceed with the repair after dropping the blocking part. Having the right tool for the job IS half the battle.

NEEDS A 17MM

Other than lacking a 17mm size, which is one of the MOST COMMON SIZES used, the wrenches are a great deal. Quality wrenches with an unlimited lifetime warranty from Craftsman.

ratchet

Wow, the ability to rachet with just a plain rench, comes in handy in those tight spots and even the spots in which are not tight. Sturdy construction. A must have!
