14 piece SAE/Metric set that contains most of the sizes that you would use a stubby wrench for. Seems to be a great price for 14 ratcheting wrenches from a brand that has been pretty solid and has a lifetime warranty.

Same price at Home Depot [homedepot.com].... with free shipping that will be a lot faster than from Amazon without the paid for Prime.

The growing issue for GearWrench is that they have been moving manufacturing from Taiwan to China and very difficult to know without actually viewing where they discreetly hide it on their new packaging. If it was not an issue, they would have kept where made right on the front or back at the bottom.

My experience with Gearwrench, they brake, and the warranty is questionable.

I don't turn wrenches to often, but I seem to have these wrenches brake . When they do, I go online and get a replacement which takes weeks if not months to get.

Sears back in the day was pretty good.

update,
odd how people give a thumps down for speaking the truth about one's own experience.
Simply for me, I don't buy Gearwrench products anymore. I have had to many of their ratcheting wrenches fail. Now considering I use my Milwaukee ratcheting screwdriver daily without a problem, Gearwrench is not quality tools in my experience.

No 17mm sucks. No 16mm doesn't matter since 5/8" works. No 19mm doesn't matter since 3/4" works. No 9/16" doesn't matter, because 14mm works.

I really wish we could agree to drop the SAE bullshit and go metric everything. While we are at it, kill Phillips and go Torx everything.

Like night and day, have mostly Taiwan sets of GW and a couple of Chinese. Unless they were made in Taiwan I would personally stay away. Never stripped or broken a Taiwan GW but have been thru several Chinese ones and have found that the warranty is a complete hassle as well. @ over $4 per wrench I just don't see the value here especially missing sizes like 8mm, 17mm and 19mm but that's just my 2 cents.

19mm = 3/4" so 19mm isn't actually missing, but the other points are valid.

I completely agree with metric and torx.... Torx is so much better to work with, especially if corrosion is involved.

Say what they want, but I agree with everything you said.... Kind of like Craftsman that outsourced to China and became junk, but always selling mixed sets that never included what you need. Sometimes, my mind does not function as well in trying to convert what SAE fits close enough to what metric ----I want complete sets of Metric and SAE. Many people, often when buying a gift for someone else, don't have a clue.

I cannot say Taiwan manufacturing was great in comparison to US or German manufacturing, but for me, I would rather support a country of people that don't want to become ruled by far left wing Communists. Competition is so great in China, that cheating on quality until caught is an accepted practice.... that is more the normality than not. I am not saying all Chinese are bad people, because they are not, but those running businesses and manufacturing deal in a cutthroat environment that government owns a piece of, or all of it. There is incentive to make a profit no matter how, when the consequences are often devastating.

PS: Every time anyone posts anything negative about Communist China, there are immediate down votes.... they must troll all social media sites.

Granted, only a few thousands difference (3/4" is 19.05mm), but if they were the same, they would be labeled "3/4"/19mm" .... there is some slop when using a 3/4" on a 19mm and sometimes, the quality 19mm has to be forced onto a 3/4" .... For chrome bolts and such where appearance is important, use the correct size if you have it.

Yet it is still absolutely pointless to argue about except for semantics. A 19mm works on 3/4" bolts without issue, and a 3/4" works on 19mm bolts without any issue. There is greater deviance in bolts and wrench manufacturing than the theoretical <0.002" difference in specs.

Or, go SAE 'everything' .... Try using metric on time and see how that works out for you. Smilie ..... days as measured by day and night are finite in a year and why we use base 60. The Mayans tried base 20 and France tried metric for a short time. It has been years since this discussion came up in college, but was interesting to at least me.

I do agree that typically, the more points of contact on a fastener, the better. But, for less than quality fasteners prone to rusting/corrosion, you are still going to be drilling them out... impossible in a reasonable time frame to get all the corrosion out of a medium to small Torx for a decent fit, but you can for a Phillips. It seems like most everything has pros and cons with likes and dislikes and why the 100 different types of bits in sets.... me, I like Allen fasteners; 6 sides inside or outside like bolts.
