Prior to this, I did not have a high-quality set of 12-point metric combination wrenches.  In fact, since I&#8217;ve destroyed some over the years, I didn&#8217;t have a complete set of ANY quality.<\/p>\n<p>The Wright D980 set is a thing of beauty.  The set comes with a 3\/4&#8243; MDF merchandiser board to hang on the wall.  The wrenches are very comfortable and very strong, and have a flawless chrome finish.  The open ends have WrightGrip on the 7mm to 24mm sizes, and the box ends have WrightDrive.  They&#8217;re what I&#8217;d call mid-length: longer than a Toptul SuperTorque or a Craftsman raised-panel, but shorter than a Snap-On or a Craftsman Professional.  The set contains 24 wrenches: 6mm-27mm, 30mm, 32mm.  The set is significantly less expensive than an equivalent Snap-On Flank Drive set, while including the very nice merchandiser board.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d put these up against my few Snap-On wrenches for quality and strength any day of the week.  But they&#8217;re thicker, which is a disadvantage when reaching into a very confined space but an advantage in terms of strength and comfort.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.rfdm.com\/gallery3\/var\/resizes\/Hand-Tools\/Wright\/D980\/7632.jpg\" alt=\"Wright D980\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week I received my Wright D980 full-polish metric combination wrench set from JD Industrial Supply.
