I have both the non-flex head in this sale and another gearwrench set of flex-head in metric only, black finish. For automotive work, I prefer the non-flex head. In most cases where access is not a huge concern, the straight wrench is easier to fish onto a bolt one-handed and easier to apply torque in a controlled way. I thought I might be able to get away with keeping just the flex-heads in my vehicle, but the pivots were too loose for me, and I quickly went back to using sockets for most things. I do like the flex-heads for assembly work, but that's a very occasional use-case for me.

Another observation: the finish and ratcheting mechanisms on my flex-head set are superb and consistent. The ratcheting mechanisms on my straight set seem to have a lot of variation in how they sound and how smoothly they turn. None of them are bad or defective, but it's striking how different the ratcheting mechanisms are in hand. I don't know if that's going to play out in longevity, but I feel like ramped up production for the sale we're seeing now and this past holiday season came with a compromise on qc.

I also bought 4 gearwrench square drive ratchets recently. One of them came with the bolt-biter kit, and unmistakably has a section of rounded teeth on the ratchet gear right out of the box. I'm probably going to have to take the whole set back to home depot to get that one piece replaced, which is extra annoying because I already put the other tools into different kits I use at work.

Whatever set you order, be sure to open it up and check the pieces when it arrives.
Add to cart and price reflects discount. Thanks OP!

I want to build out my tool set, would the flex head be better or the regular set due to quantity?

That's a great deal on the 32pc set. I paid $40 for the 20 PC set in the last SD. I snagged the flex head set this time around, thanks!

I currently have a tool box drawer in my basement FILLED with unorganized random wrenches. I never use them since getting a new craftsman kit. I've been wanting to get either this GearWrench set or the flex head set. I figured I would empty the drawer and put a nice ratcheting set in its place.

There is a store about 45 minutes from me but I was just wondering..

1. Does the 32 piece ever go below $60 or is this the lowest price they go down to?
2. Does anyone know of some kind of organizer for wrenches like these.. that will hold them neatly in a toolbox drawer.. but also allow you to pick them up and either fold or secure them somehow for portability?

Try lubricating.

The 32 piece ratcheting set comes in a rigid polypropylene tray 20.5 x 15 x 2"h. It's cleanly laid out, easy to grab and move, but not very secure for walking around and not space efficient.

The 14 piece flex-head set states that it comes with a tray. Although not pictured, if it's similar to my metric-only set, that tray is fairly compact with snap-in retention and a handle.

I don't really need any of the combination wrenches, but that screwdriver set does look like a pretty good deal. Just not sure if it's worth driving 25 minutes to pick it up considering I already have a multi-bit milwaukee ratcheting screwdriver that satisfies my needs for around the house stuff.

My concern is actually the opposite. The 10mm stubby already spins like a 0 backswing toothless ratchet with almost no sound or friction. Arbitrarily so does the long 7/8" and a couple others. It's a question to my mind whether these are going to stand up to moderate torque. Presuming the pawl and gear are healthy, they must be absolutely stuffed with grease.

I'm really not trying to neg gearwrench here. I am keeping the set. The price was great, the chrome is excellent, and I trust their lifetime warranty.
