I haven't had a bad tool yet from Gearwrench. I use tools a lot in my profession and truly believe that you get what you pay for. This is an example of that. I paid a little more, but the quality is there. Cheaper tools may have a "lifetime" guarantee, but what good are they if you are making constant returns? All your doing is wasting time. I'd rather get the job done in one shot,and move on to the next project. This tool will do that. I would be happy to buy this brand again.

Quality spanner, ratchet end is smooth and has a fine action. Feel and finish is what you'd expect from a $$$ brand. Plan to add a few more to the top drawer.

The wrench is overall good quality. Gearwrench is not the same quality as they were in the past, so I think they are a bit overpriced for the current level of quality. Gearwrench however is a stable brand owned by Apex. Although there have been warranty issues, my recent experience dealing with Apex warranty service has been positive. This overshadows the slight drop in quality as the company still stands behind them 100%.The fit of the wrench has no issues having a firm and tight fit. The box end is 12 point but does grip the fastener well. The open end is a standard smooth jaw, there is no "flank plus" or similar gripping technology on the open end, but I have not experienced flexing, slipping or bending with fasteners. The box end is ratcheting, but is not reversible. I like that this options comes with a flat vs offset box end, but you must be mindful that you can back yourself into a corner with a wrench without a reverse lever. I have both offset and flat wrenches and these are my most used, especially with newer vehicles.The ratcheting mechanism is not serviceable. There are some who show ways to open them up for service, but the manufacturer does not intend for this to happen. Soak your ratchet end in ATM or oil every so often and if you still have issue, there is the lifetime warranty. These are thicker than the older versions. The heads are about 1/4 to 1/3 thicker than the older ones, so if you are adding to an older set or getting warranty replacement for one, just keep that in mind.The main issue I have on quality not yet mentioned is the quality of the finishing. Although the wrench is usually straight end to end, the arm of the wrench is often polished with a curve in it. While this does not change the ends being straight with each other, it makes for an awkward usage. This is something Gearwrench did not have in the past which is a clear sign of the brand's declining quality of manufacturer.

This is another of my growing collection of GearWrench combo wrenches. I'm gradually upgrading by replacing all my old Craftsman fixed double-end wrenches with this series.I love the toggle switch that changes the gearing direction. A very intuitive, positive switch. It can be switched one-handed, unlike the typical rotate the star wrench. Ratcheting is smooth, strong and as would be expected. Direction change is one of the best features - it can be done with the wrench on the bolt by simply toggling the lever. Good stuff! Chrome finish is superb, however I would be just as happy with a brushed chrome finish - and it might make this series stand out a bit. Engraving is good, but not great. I would love to see something like the Craftsman laser engraving with the matte background for high visibility of size. I don't really care about the manufacturer name; The size is what should be prominent.I highly recommend this entire series of wrenches. Each time I use one I smile.One note of caution: Make sure of the model you order. Some are combination wrenches with a bent ratchet and others have a straight ratchet. These wrenches are offered under a variety of brand names; Ace hardware, Lowes, Northern Tool. All offer these wrenches under different brand descriptions. All are good; just know which model you are buying and compare prices. Sometimes you can buy a setof three cheaper than one at a time.BTW, Amazon Prime is definitely worth the price of admission in that all your future (eligible) purchases are shipped free.
