I just got a nice little set of box wrenches from Harbor Freight yesterday for
a $10 bill. Not a bad deal because there are 5 wrenches with a total of 10
different sizes to choose from. The cool thing is in my opinion they are
ratchet wrenches. They range from 1/4 to 13/16 inclusive and they
don't plan on using them a lot

Obviously you don't have high regards for that brand of tool. Interesting in
that I have no experience with them myself.

Jim,
Funny, I know a dowell pin as a literal pin made from dowelling
with champhered ends and sometimes grooves for glue.
but I'll ask next time I'm in my local store.
Thanks

David, I am not sure about the Harbor freight ones but years ago I purchased
a similar priced set. I think I have two left. If you have to break a nut
use a regular wrench first. I broke the ratchet mechanism in them. So the
ones I have left I first use a regular wrench then the ratchet. I just
I usually don't use a rachet to break a nut loose. That is what a breaker bar
is for and then use the rachet to remove it. The racheting box wrenches should
be use in a similar manner using a solid box wrench for the initial braking
loose. Harbor Freight tools are not the finest quality but
I'm not sure what the warranty is on the things, like I said they were a
gift and should probably serve my needs since I don't work on cars or pipes
very much. Not running for office, just tired of hearing from those who are
is all.
I'm David Ferrin, and I approve this message.
You know, this realy does sound like a good deal. I doubt if I even have a
complete set of wrenches now anyway. Can somebody explain though, how a box
wrench can rachet?
Thanks.

The inner circle where the teeth are located pivot and there is a lever on
the outside to flip them to go either way.

Well, I just looked at pretty much all the wrenches Harbor Freight has and
couldn't find something nearly as cheap as David got. I wound up though,buying
a 25-piece set of SAE and Metric combination wrenches for $19.95. I'm sure
they're not the best available, but I don't use them all that
I have a set I bought to break the nuts on my Cub cadet. Haven't had a bit
of trouble with them after four years. And the nuts on the blades are a job.

Well you can probably use them a lot just not with a lot of torque. But then I
can shell the teeth off a Snapon ratchet too.

Kind of depends on how long the piece of pipe you have over the wrench also.
For what it is worth I once used a four foot pipe on the end of the breaker bar
on a three quarters drive breaker bar and socket from Harbor Freight.
