I jumped at the 70% off sale last week when these things were marked down to a level that I could justify. I ordered both sets -- incl. shipping for a total of $53.00. So at that price it was worth a try. I'm not a fan of "gimmick" tools, but a friend has been using these wrenches for quite some time, so I have been lusting after a good sale.
Here's why I like 'em. The offset is perfect for loosening tight fasteners without cracking your knuckles or your hand wide open. The feel is truely comfortable, and the fit/finish is perfect (as is the case with all Craftsman Pro wrenches).
It's no secret that I'm a fan of Craftsman Pro wrenches. The price is fantastic and the quality is definitley in that line of tools -- Danaher does make good stuff, and Sears sells it at a reasonable price.

those look like a gimmick but they are not. i have some "dolphin" wrenches that are quite similar to them.
the biggest issue is that they are a pain the arse to store. they do not fit in most wrench racks.

Yes, I like them as well. Especially when working on cylinder heads.
Wondering about the sizes, because when I found them, it seemed like they were missing/not offering some.
I too bought both sets and like them alot. While I am sold on them, sadly I am a creature of habit and cannot recall using any of them more than a few times since buying them.
Those look SK made.

They were Danaher production. Danaher had a pretty good lock on Sears contracts at the time. They made the polished Pro series and the Craftsman Industrial branded line as well.
