Is there a reason to get this if I already have reversible ratchet wrenches?

These just let you go over long bolts or threaded rod to get to a nut.

These are also spline sockets so not what you would use on hex bolts you want to keep in good condition

Edit: they also are less thick than a traditional ratchet and socket so work in tight spaces.

This is a really good price on these. The fit and finish is very good and worth every cent of the typical $50 price, IMO. But they don't come with a case, if that's important to you.

Even though these don't accomplish much more that a ratcheting wrench, they do allow you use an extension AND they take up much less space than a set of ratcheting wrenches. I prefer to use this type of socket instead of flex-head ratcheting wrenches.

I bought one of the original gear wrench pass through socket kits. Like 25 years ago or so. IVE NEVER USED IT for its intended use. Only used it in a situation where i couldn't find my normal sockets. Haha.

They will drive a hex bolt, but will probably mar it and are more likely to slip and round over a stuck hex bolt

90% of the time you could just use your normal ratchet set or a box end wrench but they are a time saver when compared to a box end wrench.

Bought this for Honda sway bar end links. Twice. They both broke under minimal strain

YES! I have the cheap harbor freight chrome ones. I like these better. Look at the picture in the illustration, it comes in handy when you need to work on long threaded rods. I like that they come with a bit adapter to drive screws.

No. Especially because of the spline drive
