6 point combination wrenches that are on the cheaper side....

[R18Civic]

I am looking for a relatively cheap set of SAE and Metric 6 point combo wrenches and that start wherever and top out around 19mm and 3/4 respectively.


All I need them for is replacing my rear knuckles, and they will be used in conjuncton with an impact. thanks in advance.

Harbor Freight? Or perhaps random Amazon tools

Steelman, but they may not fit your "relatively cheap" requirement.

You have a strange anatomy.

Unfortunately HF only sells 12 point which the impact will shred the bolt head.

If I can keep the price under $100 I would be happy.

2019 Malibu LT.

Properly made 12 points will not “shred the bolt head”.

The good ones are all “flank drive” and put the load on the faster flats, not the corners.

A poorly made 6 point tool is far more likely to round off a bolt head than a good 12 point.

I’ve been very pleased with the quality of Tekton tools - for the price, they’re a great value.

All of my combination wrenches (Hazet, Stahlwille, and made in the USA Craftsman) have the “flank drive” and work great holding against an impact, or with a wrench extender apply ludicrous torque.

No slip. No “shredding”.

How is this set?

That’s a good value.

I'm more curious about how you plan to use combination wrenches with an impact.

Combo wrench on the nut, impact on the bolt.

Most of my sockets have a crack. I have to stop using chrome sockets on my impact.

Way to miss read the OP’s question and hijack the thread. The question concerned “wrenches” not sockets. Ugh

He IS the OP.

I think he worded it wrong though. He’s hitting the bolt with an impact while holding the nut with the wrench.
Maybe he meant the nut will slip in the wrench when the impact spins the bolt?

Would you rather go middle of the road in price and have a quality tool for later on?

Those Malibu knuckles have two nuts facing each other on the backside. There’s not a large gap between them. Hitting the bolt with the impact and holding the nut with the wrench is the way to go in that situation.

Now that is funny!!!!! I just didn’t think to look. He was changing the his thread and I ……. Oh well.

Craftsman overdrive wrenches are very good, and currently on sale at Lowes. I bought the metric and sae sets and am pretty impressed.
