Best Box Wrenches
This cleverly designed tool has a pair of spring-loaded handles and a circular head thats fitted with six hardened steel jaws. In addition, the genius of attacking a bolt/nut on all 6 flat sides removes the stress and strain on the corners of the bolt. This, coupled with the superior gripping action of the jaws, allows the user to complete their work without the wrench slipping off and damaging the bolt. Soft rubber handle; hardened steel laminate with black oxide coating.

Find Best Price at Amazon"Both sets have a few sizes the other does not have but are very similar (the Stanley has a few smaller sockets and a ¼” wrench, the Crescent has a few larger sockets). The case supplied with the Stanley set is very poor, the sockets can be almost impossible to remove without breaking your nails. Although this is a pretty nice set for the money but I found a much better set for about the same amount of money: Crescent CSWS10 3/8-Inch Drive Socket Wrench Set, 52-Piece. The case for these sockets is much better, everything fits nicely and sockets are easily removed as they are not ‘clamped in’ as with the Stanley sockets."
"The black chrome look is nice, not that looks are important when using a ratchet set, but they do look nicer than the usual chrome socket sets I have seen. The black chrome does make it very easy to see what the socket size is so you don't have to search or squint for sizes like you might on a chrome set."
"The case is awful and frankly black was a bad idea as if a socket is dropped inside of a work area it becomes a pain to locate."
"The tools come packaged in such a way to where the lid of the case is actually not attached to the bottom and is behind it, to display the sockets sitting inside the case. After this, every single socket had to come out of the case to remove stips of foam padding from between each socket, and the plastic of the case. The "snapping" mechanism that holds the sockets in the case make removing the sockets difficult, and putting them back in, as equally difficult, most times using a screwdriver to "pry" each socket out of its correct place in the case."

Best Torque Wrenches
Correctly tightening fasteners to a vehicle or equipment manufacturer's torque specifications ensures parts are properly secured without being damaged. When the preset torque value is reached, a reliable mechanical operation inside the handle produces a click you can hear and feel, alerting you to stop applying force. Built for consistent performance and years of dependable service, the mechanical design doesn't need batteries, and the allsteel construction has no plastic parts to break or wear out.
