Handy wrenches

IN2VWS · 09-21-2011, 11:25 PM

Hi Guys,

I bought these wrenches earlier this year just because I liked them. It was one of those purchases during a trip to the local hardware store, you know the ones, when buy sh1t you didn't really need.......

Anyway, I sold my bike a few days ago, and I had to remove the Taylomade system and re-fit the stock system so it would pass the inspection. Then after the inspection, re-fit the Taylormade system.

Anyone that has removed the headers on a S1000rr, will know it is a prick of a job. But these ratchet wrenches made it easy to easily get to all of the nuts on the headers.

They are a cheap quality wrench, but they are great to get to those hard to reach nuts and bolts.

Nope, louder than 92 db. Also got knocked back on the tail tidy. They are pretty strict down here.

I know this is going to sound odd but at least you were able to spend some time with the bike. I love working on it

cool find, I use my gear wrenches all the time, the extra adjustment pivot these have should make them really handy!!

From what I understand Craftsman exchange policy is if it breaks they replace it, no questions asked.

Once I cut a wrench in half and welded it to a pipe cause I needed a different angle and the next day I took it to sears, told them the truth and they still replaced it free of charge.

Lol that's just being a good customer. I've snapped many wrenches in my time and sears hasn't ever questioned me. Craftsman is just about all I buy, at least 95%.

Same here. Their replacement policy sealed the deal for me. Never had any problems, although I will never give up my triple chrome plated SK open end wrenches

Sears replaced my 10 year old 1/2 inch torque wrench, no questions. Better than Snap-On for me.
