Is a Polish reversible wrench the same as a reverse Polish wrench?
To answer the obvious question, with a reverse Polish wrench you first choose the nut and bolt and finally associate them with the wrench.
Holy shitsky - good comment.
I got a set of these last month -- they're nice.
BTW, funny #1
i got the metric set for this, they're great
Only buy craftsman or stanley if you are spending this much money.
#5 GearWrench is sold at Sears because they are better than Craftsman the box end is smaller in diameter and ratchets at less than 5 degrees of a turn. I've used both, these are better hands down. The flex head is even better and don't get the reversing one's, the the reverse switch gets in the way alot. just use these and flip it over to change direction.
#1, is that how reverse polish notation works?
#5 is lost. craftsman hasn't made a good tool in several years and they got even cheaper made when the went into k-mart and stanley is nothing more than a cheap department store tool as well. GW is more like a snap-on or mac for people that use them to make a living.
#6 I read the opposite when I was looking at these. The gears had a failure rate that the craftsman didn't have. I went with the craftsman because all of theses ratchets have weaknesses and you might as well get the lifetime warranty.
I have these and they work well after 6 months and serveral jobs (timing belt, rear shocks, front brake calipers). The ratcheting end isn't meant to torque down on, which is why they have the steel end. Loosen with the strong end and then switch to the ratcheting end to remove. otherwise you might end up with gear failures on the ratcheting end.
I have had the Craftsman ones for over 5 years, no problem torquing down on them.
