1. JAEGER 24pc IN/MM TIGHTSPOT Ratcheting Wrench Set
Specification
Brand | Jaeger |
Material | Chrome Vanadium Steel |
Head Style | Box End |
Features
- 24 piece Master Set sizes including inch and metric sizes
- Quick access wrench organizer that is easy and efficient to use
- 5 degree ratcheting movement is designed to access spots where standard wrenches will not have enough swing
- The reinforced open end holds on tight to fasteners for reduced bolt rounding.
These extra precise ratcheting wrenches are faster to use in tight spaces than a standard wrench, because it allows you to have continuous engagement with the bolt while you tighten it. The contact points are designed to quickly grip critical areas of the fastener to support maximum force transfer while preventing rounding.
WHAT WE LIKE
The customer service and warranty for this combination wrench set is phenomenal. Should you encounter a problem with your set you will be taken care of. This is a steal for the price. You can appreciate that the wrenches are polished alloy steel and not chrome plated as this keeps them looking like new. They have directional arrows so there is no question which way they ratchet. This wrench can cut repair time by 25%.
WHAT WE DONT LIKE
The wrenches have fingerprints and scratches on them on delivery. They are supposed to be new but look used. Quality control needs some work.“Smooth, easy action, and simple design for functionality. To reverse direction, simply turn the wrench over.” This feature however means the wrenches cannot have the slight offset angle most wrenches have, so it will be easier to bang up your knuckles.
PROS
- Great customer service and warranty
- Well priced
- Alloyed steel finish for durability
- Include directional arrows for ease of use
CONS
- Not the best quality control
- Design may cause you to bang up your knuckles
2. 24-Piece All-Purpose Master Combination Wrench Set
Specification
Brand | EFFICERE |
Material | Chrome Vanadium Steel |
Head Style | Box End |
Features
- Constructed from high strength drop forged and heat treated chrome vanadium steel
- Corrosion and rust resistant chrome plating finish for durability and extended tool life
- Precisely manufactured 12-point offset box end and 15-degree angled open end for easy access to fasteners in tight spaces

It is your perfect choice at home, garage, shop, college dormitory and other job sites to accomplish your projects, maintenance and repairs.
WHAT WE LIKE
They stay in roll storage “slots” or “pouches” fairly well; tight enough to stay put, yet loose enough to remove/place the tools back. They are good value based on price vs. number of wrenches including both metric and inch sizes. Wrenches perform well and work as intended.
WHAT WE DONT LIKE
Since this is a cheaper set the quality and finish of these wrenches are not the best and they will not look as good as name brand options. These wrenches are definitely made more for hobby or irregular use and not for professional use.
PROS
- Storage roll is made well
- Good value for a comprehensive set
- Performs well overall
- Includes metric and inch wrenches
CONS
- Poor quality finish
- Not made for everyday use
3. NEIKO 03574A Jumbo Combination Wrench Set
Specification

Material | Alloy Steel |
Head Style | Box End |
Features
- Drop forged, industrial strength steel provides strong leverage and black oxide coating
- Raised panel design adds strength to the wrench shaft
- Precision machined wrench features a 15-degree angled offset open end and 12-point chamfered box end to tighten and loosen with ease
- High quality portable carrying case keeps tools neatly organized in individual pockets.
16 piece Raised Panel Combination Wrench Set, SAE with labeled slots for easy organization, includes hand strap.The offset angle allows you to use the wrench in confined spaces as well as on flat surfaces. The increase in movement creates a larger turning arc in restricted spaces reducing the overall swing required by the user.
WHAT WE LIKE
Nice, strong and durable 16 piece metric black oxide wrench set. They are well finished and will not rust. They also come with a holder you can roll up or hang up for added versatility. These wrenches have a great grip and are lightweight for easy handling. The engraved sizes are easy to spot and allow you to select the right size every time.
WHAT WE DONT LIKE
The quality control on these wrenches seems to be poor. Some sets come with two of the same sizes or sizes missing which is not great. The length of the wrenches, especially on the smaller size ones, is on the shorter side and could stand to be longer for more comfortable use.
PROS
- Strong and durable set
- Well finished and rust free
- Holder that is versatile
- Great grip and lightweight
CONS
4. DURATECH Reversible Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set

Features
- Heat treated Chrome Vanadium Steel and polished surface ensure durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Flush mounted reversing lever allows you to change direction without removing the wrench.
- The 72-tooth ratchet gears need only a 5-degree working swing arc for access in tight spaces.
- The 12 point box end with 15-degree offset for quick engagement with fasteners and prevents round-off.

Selected SAE sizes you will need most often so you will always have the right size for all quick jobs.The wrench set comes with a premium roll-up pouch for easy organization and convenient storage, and the tailored cover keeps wrenches from sliding out.
WHAT WE LIKE
They have an angled head (15°) & reverse lever. The wrench itself is rock solid and appears to be very well built. Regarding the Ratcheting portion, it’s a 12 point head with 72 teeth which is on par with other brands and works very well. The wrap up case is handy and functional as well.
WHAT WE DONT LIKE
These wrenches are a little thicker and wider than other brands that only create a problem in tight areas. I would recommend these for anyone in the maintenance field but automotive field, these may not be your best friend.Since this is only a 9 piece set you may be left wanting more sizes to suit your repairs and maintenance needs.
PROS
- Angled head for comfortable use
- Well built wrenches
- Ratcheting portion is on par with other brands
- Wrap up case is functional
CONS
- Thicker than other brands
- Not enough sizes included
