Just received my ratcheting flex head 19 piece metric set today. I like the satin finish, the gears are smooth and the head doesn't flop around. Used a few to take apart a bike just to try them out. Gna let my son put it back together. Glad I went with Tekton, 6mm to 24mm no skips.
Thanks for the review. Coming from a forklift technician for 25 plus yrs. Reversible racheting wrenches are my most commonly used tool. That being said, I'm still using my 20+ yr old set made by Armstrong Tools that I can no longer get warranty on. Since Armstrong is no longer made they get replaced by Gearwrench if I ever pursue warranty. I am in dire need of retiring this set, but have not found a suitable replacement. The Armstrong wrench is an extended length. Which is great for the extra leverage, but also strong enough to take the abuse. Matco offers the same wrench, but in a spline drive. They are just as long. I've become a "snob" of sorts with these wrenches because the ratcheting head is so thin and can gain access to more places than most. It seems to me that most of the reversible racheting wrenches use the Gearwrench mold and mostly look the same build quality. By chance have you seen the Sonic version in person? Proto makes a very large set of both SAE and metric.
I worked at a machine shop and used a bunch of proto tools, they were all excellent. I have not used the sonic ratcheting wrenches, i do have one of their non ratcheting wrenches from their "sample kit" (not the same). These do have a nice low profile, compared to the bluepoint atleast. I really like the Snap-On ones, but i cant justify 400+ for a single wrench set.
I’ve broken tools from every manufacturer. From Stanley to snap-on. In my opinion no tool is unbreakable, and the exchange process is important. Any of the reputable manufacturers have a lifetime warranty, I like that tekton and sonic allow me to do it online and I no longer need to track down a truck (snapon). Im guessing craftsman has something like that now too since sears is closed. I bet they would replace yours if they skip teeth, I’ve had ratchets replaced for that.

yea i love them, lots of flexibility with the huge range of sizes you get on one row of sockets.

A good quality set is probably ok. I bought craftsman and they strip after some hard use
