Where to find our tool rankings: T-shirts ‘n such:
By popular request, today we look at combination wrenches, specifically the open end side you may be stuck using sometimes, but still cross your fingers that it grips. We show you which brands grip, and how much that’s going to cost – because while testing tools until they break into pieces is fun to watch, 9 times out a 10 when a wrench fails you it’s the fastener taking the beating, not the tool.
Included in testing are brands Olympia, Jetech, Crescent, Craftsman, vintage raised panel Craftsman, Sunex, Tekton, Capri, Gearwrench, Wrightgrip 2.0, S-K, Matco, Snap-On & Snap-On FDX Flank Drive Plus
