Craftsman 8 piece ratcheting wrenches

***Corey*** · 08-24-2007, 02:27 PM

I have an 8 piece metric set at home I bought a few years ago.
It is the reversible handled ones.

I see they have gone up to $100 now

They have a cheaper set on sale for $50, but it does not have the reversible option.
To reverse them, you flip the ratchet wrench over.

Has anyone seen the nicer reversible set go on sale before?
Looking to add a set to the rigs cargobox.

I just picked up two sets last month, one for a b-day gift for my buddy and one for me. Pretty sure they were on sale for $69 ea.

Thanks for reminding me I have a terrible memory.

ps: to anyone considering purchasing a non-reversable set, there are situations where you can remove a bolt with limited clearance, and you will not be able to get the wrench out. I saw somebody do it on a Boeing... thankfully it wasn't me. Long night for that dude.

it is sometimes good to check Kmart for the same set for cheaper

They aren't the same set. I've looked.

Got to Sears and the $100 set were sold out.
However they did have an 8 piece set similar to this one.

Gearwrench does not list an 8 piece metric set, perhaps this is custom made to be sold by Sears.

Got it for $65 which included tax.
They are about as good as the Craftsman.
