Anybody have any opinions or first-hand experience with the Metrinch
tools seen on the TV infomercials?

Thanks.

I would say that the "flank drive" now being sold by Snap-On or whatever Sears calls their version of that concept would probably be much
superior. Use the right tool for the job! Also both Sears and Snap-On
offer lifetime replacement warranties on their tools. Sears is
undoubtedly cheaper.

I bought a Metrinch socket set at Sears in Minneapolis in 2002, i bought it on the 75 percent off rack and it was 25 dollars... I still have the set and it is still perfect. I will not let anyone else use it now because other people end up losing
pieces out of of it(i needed to buy 3 replacement pieces).. I love this socket set it is the best one i have owned.. it has never stripped out a nut or a bolt even though intuitively you might think it would because they work on both metric and english
nuts and bolts
