These came in this week, somebody might like them. I missed my chance at buying them a few years ago when there was a guy on Garage Journal importing TOPTUL. JM Tool Company has started importing TOPTUL so I picked up a set.

Many years ago bought a long combo set rather like that - very useful in some situations - 1/4" through 1 1/8" Made by Dayton in the US and came in a similar wrap case with pouches sized for each wrench - hangs well on a pegboard for easy access.

Or you can just be strong enough to use regular sized wrenches.

Williams Long Super Wrench, if they still make them. I've got a set of those in SAE in my truck. If I remember correctly, that's Kingston's wrench of choice. There's a world of difference between China and Taiwan quality wise. Half of the wrench's pictured were made in Taiwan. Or you can just be strong enough to use regular sized wrenches. I'm getting lazy in my old age.

Been lucky, never broke a good wrench by misusing it this way, if I couldn't pull it loose with a standard wrench, a combo I always used, I just hooked a larger size on the end to cheat the length. But if a mechanic had the luxury of having all the proper tools at hand the long ones beats the hell out of muscling a standard length tool on a highly torqued fastener. Most makers used to offer them
Hernias, roids, & arthritic knuckles are prevalent in the field.

Or you can just be strong enough to use regular sized wrenches. Which is why this set of stubbies is also the right ticket in some situations.

I've got that same gearwrench set in metric that I carry with me. I bought them back when gearwrench was doing BOGO deals and got the metric/sae stubby set in the lower right corner for free. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/cJ9VR2hD/20221127-122658.jpg)

Nice set^^^^! Some other recent long purchases. Top is a 30" S&K, bottom a 24" Olsa. (need to get them out in the pickup, bought one for my 74 year old dad if he needs to change a tire and I'm not around) ![[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]](https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/e78/montanasam/20230714_191708.jpg)

(need to get them out in the pickup, bought one for my 75 year old dad if he needs to change a tire and I'm not around) I’ve been liking Olsa products. Have some thin wrenches and a few organizers. Bummer SK got bought out and will no longer be produced in USA. They use to run a “steals and deals” on their website, picked ups 3/4 drive socket set off there for like 90% off! Harryepstein.com is a good site to watch for great deals

It's my first piece from either company, glad I got a made in the USA version SK.
Guess I do have some Olsa socket rails and they are pretty nice.

Or you can just be strong enough to use regular sized wrenches. What seems extra long to some is really just normal sized to others..

i find more use for short wrenches these days on the late model schit... as for SK, at 12 or 13 yrs old i had a new set of SK tools, wrenches, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive socket sets, ratchets, extensions, pliers, screwdrivers ect, ect in the trunk of my 55 Chevy 210 2dr sedan which i had saved from the crush list in my older bro's salvage yard... i worked 2 summers for those tools... went away to school in the fall, came back in the spring, car is gone... bro made a point of having it crushed (along with my tools) to destroy my "Two Lane Blacktop" dreams... although iv'e now got 2 roll away boxes full of tools a cool 55 Bel-Air Sport Coupe from San Ber-doo, i'm still pissed... Holding a Grudge!...
