      Yep, love Wright tool co. I asked for Wright Tool Co. To send me a catalog and they sent me 2 two, so I gave the other one to my best friend mechanic & technician, so when I called Wright tool out in Ohio, you can't order from them directly, you have to order through one of there suppliers, so I found Abolox tools and supplies in Florida, bought the wrightgrip2.0 metric and sae sets and added a few more wrenchs to complete both set, so when one of my orders came and was missing the 1/4" 2.0 satin wrench, I called Abolox Tool supply and they sent me the missing wrench rite away no questions asked, so for any one out there that is interested in wrightgrip 2.0 wrenchs, I highly recommend ordering through Abolox Tools in Florida 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

    I have the Original Wright Grip wrenches size 7-24mm full polish. Bought them 8 years ago. I was just starting out and a more experienced mechanic recommended them to me. They've never failed me. Just as good as the Snap-On flank drive. Saved me a lot of money and I have no complaints about them.

    I'm a Snap On junkie, but Wright makes tools that Snap on doesn't. Example, 3/4 drive and 1" drive hex driver sockets. I tried the Sunex and broke those first time using them. Warranty says they'll have me a replacement next year sometime. The Wright are very good. They look higher quality than any other brand.

    They are local to me (Ohio). They are hard to find locally but are pretty common in the industrial world. I really took a liking to them when I was given a set on a new construction job. Been using them ever since. I love the extra length on the double box end set but the thickness of the head can sometimes be an issue in tighter clearances spots

    I have both metric and SAE sets of wright grip. They definitely have a power as much as snap on. The only thing I recommend is they thin out the wrenches just a bit. They are quite bulky for the hard to reach areas. From the open head to the box end they are super thick. Just a suggestion is all other than that they are awesome!

    This might be silly question : why have a wrench set instead of one with adjustable jaw or just any socket set?

    • @7binus9
      @7binus9 3 года назад +5

      There are many cases where you cannot fit a socket onto a nut or bolt, but you can fit a wrench. Especially if you can only access it with the open end, when you can't come over the whole fastener with a socket.
      Adjustable wrenches come in handy and have their uses, but the fact that they have moving parts means that they are inherently weaker and have more failure points when a lot of force is applied. They are usually bulkier and clumsier than their fixed same-size counterparts.
