Bought a 9-piece set of Craftsman Industrial SAE wrenches at a pawn shop for $75. All USA made. Kind of a smoky chrome finish. Nice wrenches. Came in a nylon tool roll.
It's not clear to me that these are any nicer than my older USA-made Craftsman Professional metric wrenches but I am glad to have the set.

Probably as Craftsman's situation changed the name (Industrial to Professional to whatever) they slapped on the polished Craftsman wrenches just kept getting changed at Danaher. No matter, they are nice tools I think. I never got polished fractional, just some metric.
I picked up a set of these recently at a pawn shop. Love them for the extra leverage it tight spaces. Matco long ratcheting.

Those do look handy! Not $550 (new) handy but from a pawn shop I'd hope they be priced for mortals.I picked up a set of these recently at a pawn shop. Love them for the extra leverage it tight spaces. Matco long ratcheting.

They were $200. Still expensive but they have already saved me enough grief to be worth it.

I'd probably have paid that if I saw them, too. I have a set of combination wrenches where the boxed end is ratcheting and use them all the time. They happen to be Craftsman and I imagine they were probably still $60 I'd guess. The Matco name of course doubles any price automatically.
