Features:

  • Box end head pivots 180 degrees to easily get around obstructions
  • 6-point box end snugly fits hex-shaped fastener heads and resists slipping off while you work
  • Box end opening is designed to grip flat sides of fastener heads, not corners, to prevent round-off
  • 72-tooth ratchet gear needs only a 5-degree working swing arc
  • Open end is angled 15 degrees so the wrench can be flipped over to engage fasteners twice as often in tight spaces
Great ratchet action in tight spaces! Pivot head great for odd angles, tight places. Jeep JK use.

I used this tool to remove steering gear box on my 2012 Jeep JK. It worked very well. I put a Synergy Mfg. trackbar brace on the Jeep, see picture. Tight spaces to work in. Used on three of the four bolt, I had to use a smaller regular box wrench on one of the upper bolts due to too close space. I broke the bolts loose with a TEKTON regular longer box wrench, rather than putting that kind or strain on the ratchet and pivot head. Ditto for final torque. The wrench seems strong, very tight ratchet action! High Polish too! Great warranty! I have other TEKTON tools, and will buy more. I installed my Synergy brace with the spring in place. The picture I posted (Synergy) shows it installed with the spring removed. You don't have too, but it does give you more space. If you are working on a Jeep front end, the three most common wrenches are 21mm, 18mm, and 15mm! And a 7mm Allen wrench for the ball joints, to keep them from spinning when removing the nut.

So Far So Good

I just wanted to start out by saying I wish all wrench sets came with a 7mm. I know it's not really a popular size on import cars. But Chevrolet, Chrysler, and Ford use 7mm a lot in their interiors. I'm a car stereo installation hobbiest. Anyone that installs knows that reliable 7mm sockets and wrenches are a must. And paying $25-$30 for one little ratchet wrench isn't a good option. This item is fairly priced and performs as well as my Gearwrench set of ratchet wrenches that don't wven have the swivel end. I go through 7mm like import mechanics go through 10mm. I like this so much I chose it for my Amazon dash button for replacements.

IT WAS NICE!! 🙄

It was GREAT while it lasted. Was personally using said wrench to remove the 10mm bolt from cylinder 1 ignition coil pack on my Pathfinder. Worked GREAT until thirty minutes out of the package and into the job, it slipped out of my hand, somewhere down into my truck, never to be seen again. Then, while trying to spot it from underneath my truck, I unknowingly was laying on an ant hill.... yup ...that was a GREAT DAY!! LOST my wrench and got eaten alive on my neck and back by ants. You know what they say about 10mm wrenches and sockets...yup! Wish someone would make a wrist strap for these little tools!

I had ordered this wrench to remove the 7mm bolts on the coil packs in my car's engine. Unfortunately, I was forced to use the open end of this wrench which was quite tedious as the ratcheting box end turned out to be a different size as the open end. It appears there was a manufacturing mistake and a 6mm ratcheting box end was fastened to the 7mm open end wrench handle. Hopefully Tekton will replace this wrench and if so my rating will improve. Update: I did contact Tekton and their customer service is outstanding. Therefore, my rating went from 3 stars to 5 stars which is what I would have initially rated it had it not been for the fluke manufacturing defect. Without any hassle, the wrench was replaced and I received it a couple of days later. The bottomline is that all manufacturers / companys will produce products that will either have defects or fail over time and you only hope that when that time comes they stand behind their product like Tekton does!

You don't want to need this tool. But you definitely need it.

Ideally, this tool would never be used. In a perfect world, we wouldn't need flex head wrenches to access stupidly placed bolts with no clearance for a straight box end ratcheting wrench. Unfortunately we do not live in such a world, and I definitely do not own such a car. This tool was a welcome addition to my arsenal, since you can take apart most Mazda rear suspension components with a 14mm. Quality is good. I don't mind that it doesn't have a selectable direction, since the tool can flex equally in either direction. Will definitely be getting more from Tekton. Great value.

Great for hard to reach spots. Prevents rounding off nuts/bolts.

DIY project: was installing Bilstein Shocks on rear of 2007 Sequoia and they have 22mm top nut. It's so difficult to get at the top nut on that vehicle. No room for sockets and it's tilted at an angle. Not possible to see the nut when working on it, just have to feel around to get the wrench on it. I would buy again. Pros: Strong. Feels great in hand, no sharp edges, great finish. Flex head improves control when working at awkward angles 6 point instead of 12 point - no rounding off nuts or bolt heads.

Great Warranty Service

What's not to like; lifetime warranty. The flex-head flopped around to much as the spring was missing or broken. Contacted the warranty dept via email and had a new wrench in less than a week; very easy to accomplish. Nice to see a company stand by their warranty! Made in Taiwan so the steel is better quality than most comparative tools made in China.

Almost Snap On Quality for LOTS Less

Very impressed with the fit and finish. A significant improvement over the current Gearwrench and Craftsman offerings IMO. I believe most of their products are Taiwan made , and I am wishing their offerings were expanded.

VersatileTool

These wrenches have to be the most versatile tool for working on cars. Between the flex head and the ratchet mechanism there are few places these tools will not function. I bought this as a solo because it was missing from I set of six ratchets I got about a year ago. I have used this and it companions a lot under some pretty hard conditions - like removing nuts and bolts from an 80 year old Ford - and thus far they have stood up to the torque.

Great for the price/purpose

I bought this for one specific purpose, to use an injector sleeve puller on Mack MP/Volvo D series engines (you need a ratchet wrench, and the flex design prevent scraping your knuckles on the camshaft) It works great. I suppose if you arent a pro, and are just looking for home tools this would be sufficient. I wouldn't trust it for everyday use in a professional environment though.
