wratcheting wrenches

i was looking into buying a set of these and i was wondering, does anyone have them? do you like them? alos what set should i get ...stnadard or metric? i know some automobiles are standard sizes and some are metric and some are both but i was just curious.. thanks

best thing ever ...start w/ what u use most...then get the others later..

i got mine from snap on, 8-19mm, alot of metric sizes convert over to standard.
dont buy the gearwrech brand they break to easy. ive prob broke most of mine(the ratchet part itself) and havnt had to pay a dime for a new one.most sets dont come complete either.8mm,11mm,13mm,14mm,16mm,and19mm convert over to 5/16 7/16 1/2 9/16 5/8 and 3/4

which do you use the most? standard or metric?

i use metric the most, damn jap cars!!!

yea most every thing nowdays is metric.

snap-on?i bet you paid out your ass!! i got mine from sears,$50 metric and standard sets.they only came with 7-9 wrenches a set,but wat it is wat i needed.i need to get another set of each cuz sum dumb fuker wanted more then i did.but they are the 1 of the best things invented .oh,get both seta if you cvan.you never know wen you goin to need the one you dont have

Yea I love my ratchet wrenches. I have the stardard and metric sets from Matco. They are great.

actually no i didnt pay "out the ass" snap ons prices are actually the cheapes out there(MAC,matco,snap on) there hte blue point brand(off name of snap on same shit tho)8-19mm paid 109 for the set. thast with a lifetime warranty no questions asked. ive broke prob 3/4s of them.not the wrench the wratchet part they dont seem to like bein hammerd on...also snap on has 2 diff styles. angle head(which i have) and swivel head. and there reversable like a ratchet so u aitn gota flip it over to tighten/loosen sumthin. trust me i will argue all day abotu tools, i have pretty much all snap on at work and i love em all.

I got a set at work. They are made by GEARWRENCH. You can get them off the Snap-On or Cornwell trucks. They werent to pricey and they work damn good. I use them all the time. I also got magnetic holder that I use with them that makes them easy to carry
