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

Gotcha! Thanks!
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.

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.
