The 3/4" is literally a split hair's difference (.05mm) from 19mm. They're interchangeable. Here's a handy wrench conversion chart: https://media.tekton.com/images/b...-table.pdf

16mm and 18mm are becoming more and more common as more manufacturers are switching to the ANSI/ISO standard for fasteners. Here's a chart of bolt head sizes for the various metric standards: https://boltport.com/technical/me...ize-chart/

Just like 99% of the other box end wrenches out there. 12-point is normal, 6-point is rare and not usually needed.

Anybody try these out? Do they have a lifetime warranty like the Craftsmans?

Kobalt hand tools do have a lifetime guarantee. I've got quite a few of them but I've never had to use the guarantee to see how easy it is to swap them.

I have had these for a few years no complaints really. I haven't used them a ton and they aren't snap on for sure but get the job done.

They come with a lifetime deal but any Kobalt tools bought as a set get returned per the warranty as a set so if you lose just one, you are stuck from my experience. I have replaced two wrenches from this set through the years and both times I needed the set and not just the broken wrench. The ratcheting mechanism holds up well on some and I had the 7/16" fail on its second use tightening an antenna mast nut about half way through. I have had the same thing with screwdrivers and adjustable wrenches so as far as I know break them, don't lose them, and you are fine.

These were $25 a few years back. I bought a set and use them for wrenching all the time. Nothing wrong with them at all. I think $60 is the normal price.

Only issue: missing 7mm and 11mm. Not the most common sizes but sizes I do use.

6 point is not rare, if you're not cheap

My glance at the front page picture made me think "ultimate set of metal measuring spoons", and I clicked because I was interested, lol. ...The last two plastic sets I bought, the labels wore off.

I have quite a number of Kobalt tools, including shovels and rakes. I have used the lifetime warranty on the shovels twice because they broke with excessive use. I went in without my receipt told them about it got a new shovel and walked out with no problem. My son had an issue with his cobalt ratchet set where the case broke, and they exchange it without any difficulty. My concern would be if they no longer manufacture that part, but supposedly they will exchange it with an equivalent.

How would they know it was bought as a set and not just a single purchase? "No questions asked" is their policy. I've never dealt with their warranty service so I have no idea. Kobalt items have been flooding the FP lately so I've picked up some and may need to use the warranty at some point.

They scan the system is all I can tell. My 7/16" ratchet wrench went bad and I brought the whole set and the wrench and the customer service rep said you need the whole set after trying to exchange just the wrench. It's the UPC lookup in their system or it's based on what they sell in stock is my only guess.

Was about to get it, but it does not come with a 19mm. Can't remember ever using a 16 or 18mm before
