S&K makes a good splined one as well I use at work that will grab even stripped ones. Got them through Sears too lol. I got the the Gear Wrenches back in 99 at Ace Hardware (was the only place I could find them) and still use the crap out of them. If you do a search you can get the sets fairly cheap on the internet I found a set of gear wrenches (STD and Metric) XL's (longer ones ) for around 120 or 130 for 1/4"-1". I hate the flex heads you gotta just torque it a bit or try to get it started it always wants to move on you. I have never needed one of those. And I hate those damn things.

Anyone else find this problem?

Most the metric sizes for GM are: 5.5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, and 34. There are a few U.S. sizes.

I use the **** out of my tools.
Gear wrenches suck (period) I broke half of them in the first week.
I've had a few craftsman ones. Better than the gearwrenches but I still broke a couple.
Stanley, beleive it or not I havent broken one of these in the past year and a half I've owned them. They are still as tight as the day I bought them.
And I use them atleast 2-3 times a week working on cars.

I had a non-flex head Gearwrench set. I only broke one, 14mm, which I never really used anyway.
I then bought a flex head Blue Point set, they're great. The flex head really helps out a lot.

I got both the straight and flex head gearwrench's and i love them. i use them everyday. I hardly have a problem with them but i have broken a couple over the years but my snap-on guy waranties them, also like eschoendorff said napa and lowes will too. If your only gonna buy i set i reccomend the flex head.
