As a dedicated DIYer focused on streamlining my workshop, I recently unearthed a set of Dewalt Tough Series combination wrenches that I’d previously received for review.
The familiar design, reminiscent of the highly-regarded Craftsman Overdrive wrenches, prompted a thorough assessment.
This rediscovery coincided with a major decluttering project – a necessary step to eliminate redundancies and optimize storage space.
I’m now planning to rigorously test these wrenches across a variety of projects, including disassembly, assembly, and installation tasks.
Initial impressions were positive, but a more in-depth evaluation is now underway.
The wrenches boast anti-slip open and box ends, offering enhanced grip and control.
Available in both metric (DWMT19237 – 18 sizes) and SAE (DWMT45428 – 17 sizes) configurations, they’re offered in a convenient roll format.
Priced at $159 per set, retailers often provide promotional discounts.
Despite preferring organized trays or compact holders, the roll’s comprehensive range of sizes is a significant advantage.
During a recent workbench disassembly, the wrenches performed exceptionally well, demonstrating a comfortable feel and robust construction.
While a full replacement for my primary set isn't likely, I’m confident in their quality and versatility.
Smaller, 8-piece sets are available for $79 each, providing a more budget-friendly option.
Overall, the Dewalt Tough Series wrenches represent a worthwhile investment for serious DIY enthusiasts seeking a dependable and comprehensive tool collection.
