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.

My favorite style wrench
5 Stars
My favorite style wrench
These extra long 0-degree offset wrenches are my favorite style. The extended lip on one side of the box end helps when you need a little clearance to get close to something. The ratcheting end is nice too. The extra length is great for reaching into places, and the 0 offset makes it easier to apply torque in awkward spots as long as you can get the wrench on.I keep a set at home and a set in my junkyard box.The only thing to keep in mind, mainly with the smaller sizes, is that the length and lack of offset means you can apply a lot of torque very easily - enough to break or over-torque smaller fasteners without even trying. I try to make a practice of holding them as close to the fastener to avoid this.I have seen a few mentions of receiving the blow-mold style tray or not. Both sets I have came with the tray (2020 and 2022 purchases). I find the tray to be far too bulky, though, and I don’t use either tray. They take up way too much space in the toolbox drawer, and both had a few wrench slots that weren’t tight.The photos show the wrenches in a typical wrench rack (not included) compared to the included tray to demonstrate the amount of extra bulk the tray will take up. Too much wasted space for me to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extra leverage and top end quality set
Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2023
I use these wrenches for the last 6 years now. I can confidently say that they are always my top pick when i do any kind of brake, suspension or steering jobs on vehicles. The extra leverage of these is a real benefit for braking loose any stubborn fasteners. These are also flat, there is no angle in them. It allows me to reach easier any fasteners without interfering with other components. I was surprised at first, i thought that the opposite would happen, nice surprise!

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!
