About GEARWRENCH
GEARWRENCH produced the original five-degree ratcheting wrench in 1996 and quickly became a go-to brand for professional automotive technicians. The innovation didn’t stop there. Year after year, the GEARWRENCH brand continues to expand its line—in ratcheting tools and beyond—to help automotive and industrial technicians get their jobs done faster and easier.
GEARWRENCH XL GearBox Wrenches
The ratcheting box end need as little as 5° to move the fastener as opposed to 30° for standard box end wrenches. The standard box end combined with the long pattern length gives this wrench excellent torque capabilities to break a stubborn, rusted fastener. The box end features improved box end strength from GEARWRENCH's off-corner loading and at the same time, reduces fastener rounding.
- 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 16mm, 17mm, 18mm, & 19mm
Productivity
5° ratcheting arc vs. 30° on standard combination wrenches.
Strength
Off-corner loading provides a stronger grip on fasteners by distributing the force throughout the entire wrench head rather than one location like other wrenches.
Access
Sleek head design enables access to tight spots where a ratchet will not fit.
Access
The GEARWRENCH XL GearBox wrenches ratcheting end feature a pass through design allowing improved access to nuts and fasteners on long threaded rods and bolts.

The standout feature of these XL wrenches is their exceptional length, which is a true blessing when it comes to accessing those hard-to-reach fasteners. No more contorting your body into awkward positions or straining to get the right angle. These wrenches provide the extra reach you need, making even the most inaccessible nuts and bolts suddenly accessible.
Durability is another key strength of these wrenches. In the world of tools, longevity is a quality that's highly prized, and these XL wrenches deliver on that front. They are built to withstand the rigors of regular use, and their construction exudes a sense of reliability. Whether you're a professional mechanic or a weekend warrior, you'll appreciate the sturdiness and longevity these wrenches offer.
One of the standout features of these wrenches is their solid ratcheting mechanism. It's not just about length; it's also about efficiency. With a reliable ratchet, you can quickly tighten or loosen fasteners without the hassle of repositioning the wrench repeatedly. This feature saves time and effort, making your work much more efficient.
I will be using these wrenches where I work on typical maintenance between five cars and I think they will hold up just fine for that. If you are looking for a professional tool I think that these inconsistencies may cause some headache.

After a full 6 years of use, i must say that the finish still looks very good. They are easy to clean with a small spray of brake cleaner and a quick wipe with a clean rag. Nothing more is needed. There was no need for me to contact Gearwrench/Apex for any warranty issues so far; the wrenches have held up to hundreds different jobs since without asking for a break! Their inner ratcheting mechanism still works fine on all of them.
Would i buy this same set again? Absolutely, without any hesitations. With this set including sizes from 8-19mm, it covers most mechanical needs for a small shop.
Also, use them smartly, don’t use extra leverage on them. Don’t use the ratcheting mechanism for braking stubborn fasteners loose. There is other more appropriate tools for that .
Included is a picture of the 10mm gearbox wrench from the kit compared to other popular models. Canadian viewers will recognize their beloved Mastercraft wrenches as a comparaison. As you can see, it’s a good 30% longer then your standards 10mm wrenches. 10mm size is one of the most used sizes around the house and doing automotive maintenance. This picture will hopefully be helpful for comparison.
Enjoy!
