Hi David, If it hasn't been mentioned for max torque with less chance of stripping make sure you go with a 12 point closed wrench instead of 6. Ratcheting closed wrenches are a pleasure to work with but for high torque the ratchet can possibly get damaged.. I'd go with a plain ol' forged one pi

The only ratching open ended wrench I have expierience with is these from Sears. http://m.sears.com/craftsman-4-pc-metric-open-end-ratcheting-wrench/p-00921937000P They worked fine but the downside was that you needed at least 60° (one flat) of rotation before the "ratcheting" action would work.
