... 1/4" only there is no box end just a nice chrome plated round hole

A combination wrench 1 1/4" only there is no box end just a nice chrome plated round hole. Update: Spoke with Russ at Tekton customer support and He Warranted the bad wrench it arrived today 1/12/2017. The replacement is just what it is supposed to be. So hats off and Kudos to Tekton for standing behind there products and offering great customer support. Changed my rating to FIVE STARS. I have other tools from Tekton and they are all top notch tools. All of my friends had a good laugh with this wrench. I'm sure it just slipped past the QC some how. I will continue to purchase tools from Tekton and recommend them to friends and co-workers without hesitation

Wrench does not come with directions. Not good for use with Phillips or Alen/hex drive screws

This wrench is long and strong and bound to get the friction on... Any 18mm nut or bolt. Disappointed with it's ability on other sizes and completely useless with SAE fastnera. :( Not good for use with Phillips or Alen/hex drive screws. I'm also disappointed in the wrench's ability to drive nails or cut wood (very poor with both hard and soft woods). This wrench is properly sized and well finished. Works well on both standard and reverse threaded fasteners.

Got the wrong size - twice

The wrench is fine but I ordered a 9/32 inch and what I got was a 5/16 inch so I returned it for a replacement and once again I received a 5/16 inch wrench although in both cases the package was clearly labeled as a 9/32 inch. When I tried to return it the second time the only option available was "refund" and since it was a replacement for the first one I hadn't been charged anything so my refund amount would be zero. At this point I just gave up and kept the wrench even though I already have at least four 5/16 inch wrenches. I ordered a different brand in 9/32 inch size - wish me luck. EDIT: changed rating to 5 stars due to vendor response

Convenience costs... but not that much compared to aggravation and time

This is the third TEKTON wrench I've bought and I'm very satisfied with their form, fit, function, finish and price. I HAVE a couple of sets of box-end wrenches, Sears craftsman make in SAE and metric (I once owned a complete set of Whitworth tools, but that was many motorcycles and decades ago) but I'm forever "borrowing" one wrench from the toolbox to: - have one on hand in the shed to pull the mower blade for sharpening (5/8"), then complaining later 'cause I left it there after mowing the lawn and have to go out with a flashlight, in the rain, to get the darned thing at some ungodly time of night setting off the neighbor's dogs and... - keep one on the mill for the 11/16" clamp nuts (that's this one) - keep one by the Dillon reloading press (off the top of my head I can't recall which nut this adjusts... powder checker rod, i think), and so on. Sure, I could've bought a whole set, but for the price, availability, not having to go back through the house to the garage for the wrench for the mower and back again, then remember to put the wrench back afterward, $5 is a low price to pay for convenience.

Awesome wrenches!

Over the years and several moves I had lost a few of my metric and SAE wrenches, there were also a couple broken ones and it was just time to upgrade. First I bought a set of SAE "Vulcan" wrenches at a local farm and ranch store. They have little teeth identical to the Milwaukee combo wrenches, as a anti-slip feature like Snap-On flank drive plus. They have a really nice chrome finish too. The don't slip, they dig in and chew up your fastener. Good to have when you REALLY need to get something off and it doesn't cooperate, not great for typical use. Then I bought a set of Tekton metric wrenches. They are great! No aggressive teeth, enough tolerance to get over paint or a little rust, but not sloppy like cheap wrenches. Amazing chrome. And weirdly a really good feel in your hand compared to typical cheap wrenches. Thicker beams, no sharp edges, and a little longer without being too long. I needed a 24mm wrench for a project, and knew Tekton was the way to go. Probably not going to be a commonly used size, but it didn't cost much more and I knew it'd be quality.

Great value

I used to depend on my tools professionally. When you make a living with your tools you want dependable tools. I would only stock my box with Snap On and other high end manufacturers. After my career as a mechanic ended I put all of my tools in storage, only pulling them out for occasional work on my personal car. I realized I was sitting on so many high end tools that I didn't really use that often. I sold a lot of my tools but kept some core pieces. I decided to replace what I sold with decent value options. There were a lot of gaps to fill and there was no way I was going to spend the same type of money as before. I looked at all the consumer grade brands and Tekton ended up being one of the brands that surprised me. I probably wouldn't have given Tekton a chance on my own but I read a lot of good reviews so I gave them a shot. These wrenches are really nothing special but I mean that in a good way. They are just simple decent tools. With most high end manufacturers you are paying for the service and warranty. Tool trucks and local dealers mean fast service for replacements and repairs. However, most "consumer grade" companies offer lifetime or extended warranties but you might be required to visit a store or mail in your tools for service. This minor inconvenience can be a deal breaker for a trade mechanic but for your average joe it might not be a big deal to wait a few days to get a replacement. With all that said, I own many Tekton tools and have been very satisfied with them. Thankfully I have not had to use their warranty service yet, which I hear is really great and easy to use. They perform just as well as any high quality tool I've used or owned. The finish on the wrenches look and feel great. Also the tolerances have been good in my experience. I have no doubts Tekton tools are up to the task for any job they are intended for. They look right at home next to my Snap On and Wiha tools.

Where Did That Wrench Go?

I needed an 8mm wrench to bleed my clutch after doing a fluid change. When I went to my tool box, there was no 8mm to be found. Having completed this job in the past I know I had one. Luckily I hadn’t started the job yet and had time to wait. I had been looking at updating my old Craftsman wrenches that work well but are shorter than I would like so I took a chance and purchased this wrench. The 8mm is longer than my old 10mm version and feels better in my hand. The box end held tight and the chrome appears to be of good quality. I think I am going to buy the full set of Tekton wrenches when I finally pull the trigger on a new wrench set. Not quite professional quality, but excellent quality for the price point. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy these again.

It's a big wrench

Good packaging. It's a wrench. It's big. 1 1/16" pictured. A tiny piece of the chrome came off and stuck into my finger right out of the package ouch! I'm sure if I raised a stink tekton would replace it but I'm not worried. I have a lot of their tools and they all are a great value for the money. There's not really any way quality control could have caught this rogue chrome splinter unless they were running their fingers down the edge. Nice wrench for the money

100% satisfied customer

I was nervous about purchasing this since I've been a long time C***tsman buyer, but I have to say, these fit in the hand incredibly well. The quality is far beyond anything else I have in my tool box. They do have a polished finished, which looks great in the beginning, but hey, they're tools and they do clean up very nicely. Truly, I could not be more satisfied with this toolset.

The wrench feels solid, and is very well finished.

My tools are mostly Snap On, and some Craftsman, but I've recently bought a few Tekton wrenches and sockets to fill some gaps in my collection (mostly very large sizes that I have very infrequent use for). I bought the Tekton because the price seemed very reasonable, and I've been very impressed with the finish on every single one of them. (One socket I received (a 36mm six point) even appeared to be finished with a sealant of some sort on the inside!) I haven't compared how these fit the fastener with how the Snap Ons fit, but I haven't had one slip, or round any bolt heads or nuts, yet. So, I'll continue buying them, and recommend them to anyone that's interested. They're an excellent addition to your toolbox.
