I can not check out and always have a problem checking out. I get a Data Error and am told to call a number and they can never figure it out. Oh well.

The Craftsman Cross Force ratcheting wrenches are probably the best ones of the "cross" design, followed by the very similar GearWrench X-beams.
However, the Craftsman Cross Force is...

You re-posted the same link I used.
Might want to read what it says - "temporarily unavailable".
They might have more "new" Chinese versions in August. Might.

It might have to do with your local store availability. Try clicking on "change store".
Hope it helps.
Also, if you're getting both sets, you qualify for free shipping over $49.

Seeing that craftsman hasn't been all that good for a decade or two, they're about the same. It's basically all about the warranty, which is lifetime.

Non-ratcheting Crossforce or X-beam are the better choice for frozen rusted bolts/nuts. Hopefully some version of these remain available from either company
