Good to have
Works well for very specific cases like most specialized tools mechanics buy. The quality is decent and it’ll hold up if you use it for those hard to reach areas, but still not enough leverage in most scenarios.

Quality set
This set is well made and nice and long for getting to hard to reach places to provide better leverage.

Being 12 point and long, higher chance of bolt or nut damage.
Keep in mind that there is a trade off between a 6 point and a 12 point wrench. A 12 point will work on a 6 point nut, but it has less surface contact and therefore can more easily damage the head of a nut or bolt. On the other hand, a 12 point can fit in more positions in a tight area which can make it easier to remove or install a nut or bolt.To make matters a bit worse, wrenches generally have the ends of contact (12 point or 6 point) rounded to protect the fragile end surface or a nut or bolt, so it does not engage the entire surface area. That means there is even less surface area engaged in a 12 point and a higher chance of damage to your bolt or nut when applying a lot of force. With the long length of the wrench, there is a lot more torque being applied to the bolt or nut than a short wrench so the chance of damage increases.Ok, with that out of the way, these 12 point wrenches are designed (as labeled) for aviation use where there can be a lot of tight spaces. I can say that they also work well on diesel engines in tight locations. My motorhome is a perfect example.The etchings for size are finally a readable size and deep enough to be easily seen, even without perfect vision. THAT is a very nice feature!!The wrenches have a flat side and an extended side. For close work against a component, the flat side is perfect.and helps to ensure a good fit. You are also less likely to slip the wrench off that way.The storage box is one of those things that it will depend on the user whether is value or not. I do not think I would have described it as a storage box but more of a storage foam sleeve. It has cut outs for the wrenches to fit into and it will fit on a work area or in a drawer. It will slide around in a drawer unless you take steps to secure it with double stick tape or something else.The problem I find with the storage box is that it takes up an enormous amount of space for its organization. I prefer hanging wrenches up on a wall in order of size and function, so the storage foam is of no use to me.All in all, for the price, I find this to be a decent product and one that I would recommend if you have the need for this type of wrench.

Long and strong
There’s not a whole lot to say about this except that they seem to be slender long and strong. I really needed this because I’m working on some alternator replacement on a Lexus GX 460. It’s very hard to reach some of the bolts.This is always good to have your tool kit. I need it to standard as well. I hope this helps you have a good day.

Fit an finish
A few of mine have pretty crudely cut out hex and on i had to file on one side to actually get it to work both ways. the length is nice and they do work however i wont be putting a cheater pipe on these they are a light work only took the head thickness is pretty thing in some spots and im concerned they make crack.

Great Leverage
This is an absolutely beautiful set of wrenches. They offer great leverage due to the extra-long body. The set arrives packed in a protective foam tray which I've transferred to a drawer in my tool cart. This will help protect the mirror finish from avoidable scuffs and scratches. The only issue I've got with these is there is a slight bend in each handle. I'll need to get back to my tool cart for a photo but basically the wrenches are ever-so-slightly warped out of true. I assume this is a manufacturing issue, and it is relatively minor so I don't expect it to interfere with performance. Still, it's not too much to ask that a tool such as this should be produced to stricter tolerances. It's a "fly in the ointment" that gives these wrenches an appearance closer to a house brand at a big box store rather than a premium mechanic's tool purchased from a truck. But as I said, the imperfection is so slight that I don't believe it will affect performance in any meaningful way. This set is nice enough overall that I would absolutely be willing to buy the SAE counterpart to these metric sizes.Update, a few minutes later: I tried to make a video to show how the wrenches have a bend, but it's so minor that it didn't even show up. They are certainly curved and it's definitely there, but it's so slight that I can't even capture it on camera. Buy with confidence.

SPECIALTY TOOLS!
I admit it. I am a tool junkie. I am especially gratified when I need a specialty tool and have it in my arsenal, then I feel justified in making the purchase. This set definitely rates as specialty tool. I can think of occasions in my past when I needed exactly this tool but had to creatively make do with what had. Now I can't wait until I hit that wall again. I am ready! All that being said, the tools are nicely chromed and the sizes clearly stamped into the metal for quick and easy identification. The fit might be a tad loose, but that could be considered an advantage as well, allowing for a little play to be able to get the wrench on the bolt head. The concern then would be that it doesn't slip under heavy torque. Since I can't prove my hypothesis, I will vent to guess it is going to be fine. The exceptional length and lack of any angle is what makes this wrench special. Those two features will make them unusable in some circumstances, but exactly what you need in other circumstances. I already have drawers full of standard length wrenches with built in angle. I don't need more. The tools all come in a foam organizer "case" (and I use the term loosely) form fitted for each wrench. The "case" is too flimsy to be something you would want to carry around with you. I think it is best left lying flat in a drawer in your tool chest. All that being said, I am happy to own these unique tools and can recommend them for those rare occasions when your standard length six point wrenches just don't work.
