05LGTLtd Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Decent enough deal on Gearwrench set: http://www.napaonline.com/Savings/CurrentPromotions/GearWrench Has all the common Subaru sizes, 10, 12, 14, 17, & 19mm. (You can toss the 13 and 15mm, lol) 19mm ratcheting is not too common in sets from what I have seen. Not much need for it, as torque is an issue, but might help get a nut/bolt snug quicker if a socket is awkward due to space sometime.

Moderators BarManBean Posted June 3, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 3, 2013 How are the flexheads? Never really used those before, but I definitely need a set of ratcheting metric wrenches...seems like a great price.

05LGTLtd Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 I have a set of gearwrench flare wrenches (not ratcheting) that have a flex head. 10% of the time they are awesome. 80% of time they are OK, and 10% they downright suck. Just depends on what your trying to do and the angles for clearance. I've used the flex end ratchet ones like above and they are pretty good. I prefer a fixed head like my crescent set, but I don't have 17mm or 19mm. Having both styles is always the best. (and obstruction wrenches, and crowsfeet, and...)

For only having one set of wrenches I'd prefer that they be fixed...maybe I'll pick these up though...for the price they are better than nothing.

05LGTLtd Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Also the 3M brake cleaner is a decent deal, so I'll probably snag a few of those for the stash too. All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
