Thomas:
I agree with your assesment of these wrenches. There are times when they
would be worth their weight in gold. I don't think, however, that they would
replace a set of regular wrenchs. By their design, the open end of the wrench
only applies torque in one direction. That 15 degree offset off the head is a
life saver sometimes. Being able to flip the wrench in tight quarters is a
valuable feature. Agreed, the need for that feature will be lessoned somewhat
by the "ratcheting" nature of these wrenches, but if I had to have only one
set, I would keep the standard design.
I may change my mind after I have used them for a while, but that's my
opinion right now.
