Includes:
1/4, 5/16, 11/32, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16 and 3/4 inch
6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 millimeter

Remember, the difference between 3/4" and 19mm is literally splitting hairs, so that one works for both.

I've had this exact set for almost 3 years, use it all the time. Most of the stuff I work on is metric so in hindsight, I should've bought a metric-only set with more sizes. I replaced shocks on my car recently - the top bolt was 19mm so I had to use the 3/4".

Also replaced tail lights and there is one nut behind the trunk panels in a really tight space and it took forever to remove because the swing arc is so wide. A 90-tooth would be better in this situation.

If you are working on cars a lot, what you want is a 6-point set. This set stripped one of the bolts on the end links and I had to take a Dremel to cut off the threads.

It's probably also a good idea to have a set of ratcheting and non-ratcheting wrenches because you really shouldn't be using ratchets to break bolts free. A better buy would be to get one of each in the measurement system you use most rather than buying one of these mixed metric/SAE sets.

But all in all, this set is decent quality.

Get one with a reversible switch, they are much nicer plus they have a slight angle to them, just fyi for anyone looking to invest in their first set etc.

I'm not sure about the overall quality. However, I think 90 tooth (kobalt) is better than 72 tooth (Ace).
Also the marking on the Kobalt seems to be better and larger. My personal opinion.

I wish I'd known this before buying a 19mm for a specific purpose. Granted it wasn't expensive but it's still another tool to keep organized.

Gearwrench is a name brand. Kobalt is a Lowe's brand. 90 tooth vs 72 is kind of splitting hairs. It doesn't tell you how much slop one may have over the other. Either is fine, but if you want to hammer on a wrench; A) I wouldn't use a 12 point. B) I would use a plain wrench instead of a ratcheting one so it could transfer more of the shock instead of the mechanical bits absorbing some of it.

I think if the objective is to hammer on the wrench, then this is the wrong product to buy.
I agree the difference between the OP wrench and the Kobalt is minimal but that is all the information we have to make a somewhat informed decision on which one to buy. At the end of the day, it's a personal choice.

95% of ratcheting wrenches are 12-point.

Truth is, on a good bolt, the ratchet is probably going to break before you round off the bolt. But if you're working on an already damaged or highly rusted 6-point fastener, then, maybe, consider springing for 6-point tools.

Whats the point of a 12pt ratcheting wrench? I've never understood this, why not just make them a 6 point since they can be rotated?
