WorkPro 8 pc Flex-Head Ratcheting Wrench Set REVIEWED
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Can Workpro tools be used in a professional environment? This video shows how they stood up to about 4 months of use mostly at home but I did throw them in my tool bag for work a few hitches. This is the Workpro 8 pc flex head ratcheting wrench set that is sold on amazon for around $45. That makes is the cheapest on amazon at the time of the video which raises the question, can you find quality tools at cheap prices? This tool review of the Workpro 8 piece flex head ratcheting wrench set will show you just that.

Check out some TOOL REVIEWS here kzread.info/head/PLSJfPA4pLxo24gxfNehJD5XpNakuxMnck
For the price its not bad for a set to have at home, but for an industrial maintenance mechanic it doesn't cut it. The scratches wouldn't bother me to much but the skip in sizes (8,16,18,19) is a deal breaker. Thanks for the review!

They know they are not a professional tool brand
Well as long as they work and the open end doesnt spread, its a good wrench regardless of the scratches on the finish. For $40 it seems like a good buy!

Thank you for watching. Many other budget friendly reviews on the channel 👍
I have both sets and love them for the price. I’m an avid DIYer and highly recommend them if you don’t care about scratches…which I could care less about. Great review!
I like the tool roll. I recently picked up a Workpro toolbag on a deal, and for the price it is actually a decent tool bag. I have other Workpro hand tools, and they've been decent for the DIYer. Honestly, even with the paint issue, a guy like me would pick these up since I don't use ratchets that often.

Those look handy! I don’t think the scratched paint would bother me too much. I have some husky wrenches with the chrome peeling off. and it could be a minor splinter or cut hazard. Scratched paint seems better than crappy peeled chrome 🤷♂️ I’m intrigued by these

Glad u watch multiple opinions before making ur choice. Wish more would do that
The tools worked...they functioned properly, they didn't break, and your biggest strike against them... was the coating scratched off... I can't imagine wrenching and desperate to get a drive shaft installed and I see the tool coating is scratched off: "NFW.... I quit" ... That's it Never working on a rig again..."" My tool boxes are Frankenstein sets... all brands...I even have one or two snap-on and Mac. Mishmash of SK, Craftsman, Proto, Knipex.. Husky even Hobo Freight tools, I use wrenched for hammers... Just because of this ONE, issue, I'm buying some of these workpro. Stripping the coating off will be a badge of honor...

Lol it didnt bother me either but it may bother some so needed to be included in the review imo
Brad good review, that issue with those wrenches isn't a big issue it shows that they get used.. But if you like your tools to look brand new then yeah you'll be sad.

Does the ratchet loosen and tight bolts or only one of those?

@@BradsWorkbench I dont think all workpro is stanley either but I'm sure they work together to break new markets. there ratchets are designed by apex tools same as stanley husky and 95% of other 72-90 tooth ratchets.

Its pretty common for a company like GreatStar to sell their stuff to multiple brands. They just own workpro is all. But yes Stanley gets their tools from a few different manufacturers and makes a few themselves.
Yeah that paint was one of the 1st things I noticed. I killed the otc KZread btw. Wasn't really a point in having it. I'll just use my channel if I do a live raffle or something. I have the chromebook now, so I can go live on that.

My thoughts as well. One thing i love about workpro is they dont try to pretend that they are professional tools
It's kind of a shame, because the wall around the fastener is thin on these wrenches, allowing you to get in tight spots.......for an inexpensive set.

How a tool review should work: Did it do it's intended purpose? Yes Did it work after intensive use?yes Did it look pretty? I dont care. It's a wrench. I need it to wrench.

I see your point, you aren’t “wrong”. But I like my tools looking neat. I’m giving up buying these set because of the poor quality paint that they use. The review was really helpful for me. Think as a car, does it run? Yes! Does it goes back and forth? Yes? Are there dents and scratches all over it? Who cares? It brings you from A to B. Nah… I like my car looking good too. haha

Its your money so u can spend it on whatever u feel is Important. The duratech brand would be a good budget option to look at that I would say is a step above these
Spend 10 more bucks and get some huskeys or gearwrench when on sale with a lifetime warranty

Have the same set. Absolute garbage. Ratchet breaks with little force. I don't break nuts/bolts with any ratchet wrenches, so the fact my 14 and 17 gears stripped AFTER breaking with a solid box end is dumbfounding.
