I didn't really need them but I couldn't resist @$146.49. Stahlwille 96401005 It was the length and angle that sealed the deal.
Good deal on some nice combo wrenches......

That is a great price for those, if I didn't already have them I would grab them in a minute.

tempting... Not sure I need another set, but might grab one for a mobile tool kit.
Tempting...I hear ya. I couldn't resist at that price, and I probably didn't need any more combo wrenches.
I am tempted too and I really dont need them. Show me some shiny tools and I am like a jonesing crack addict.

Just be aware that the 13 series are considered a short pattern wrench which is fine if you need them. There is a comparison here.
Stahlwille Short Pattern Wrenches
I grabbed these on Amazon.de under $150 on the door. These are shorter than the standard Hazet and US wrenches, perfect for cramped spaces. The quality is fantastic, no plating, blasted finish, nothing on these just a great feel from the perfectly made special tool steel alloy, they are much...

For the money I'd rather have the Tekton, no skips.

Includes: 6-24 mm (Metric) 12 point standard-length combination wrenches with rack storage. No skipped sizes. WCB91202.
The Tekton's are OK. No skips in the set I linked either according to the listing. I was specifically after the size, quality and configuration of those wrenches.For the money I'd rather have the Tekton, no skips.

The Stahlwille in the original post are in a different league from Tekton.For the money I'd rather have the Tekton, no skips.

Very true! Although my intent was not to get into that, I was sharing a good deal, that's all.
There is no comparison between Tekton and Stahlwille, Hazet, Snap on, etc. Its like comparing hamburger to Filet Mignon.
I have never understood that German stuff is just the best. I am sure that the Stahlwille are good tools, but for a little less you can have no skips and the same warranty.

So are they better than Snap-on? I always thought Snap-on had the best wrenches but I’ve never used these so I’m curious. I know they are much cheaper than Snap-on lol.
Tekton is honest with their comparisons to Snap-on:

Metric Angle Head Open End Wrench Set (16-Piece) | TEKTON | WAE91202
Includes: 10-27 mm (Metric) angle head wrenches with 30° and 60° open ends. Made in USA. Comes with holder. WAE91203.
Maybe @Trav can chime in and share his professional opinion of the tools I linked.
I’ve only used Tekton wrenches in a machine shop setting. No rust. perfect fasteners etc.
They seemed loose fitting and soft. I do like their sockets though which makes no sense as you’d think the metal and quality would be the same.
I recently bought myself some NOS US Craftsman wrenches. Price wise they were about like what OP posted. Seems like a good buy.
*Bought myself a set as well as a Fram Extra Guard since I had the free shipping. They go well together.
