They&#8217;re relatively light in weight due to the beam design, and claim to be very strong.  They&#8217;re shorter than my Wright and Snap-On, which equates to the usual pluses and minuses (good in cramped quarters, a hindrance when you need a lot of leverage).<\/p>\n<p>The more I receive from Toptul, the more impressed I am at their quality control at this price point.  The satin finish on these wrenches is flawless, as are the open and box ends.  If they had more of a presence here in the U.S., and more offerings in their hard line, I think they&#8217;d move a lot of product.  I have other Toptul pieces that are equally impressive for the price: sockets (both satin and mirror finish), offset double-box wrenches and stubby rotohead ratchets.  I have more of their tools on my wish list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently received a Toptul GPAW2601 26-piece metric SuperTorque combination wrench set from thetoolchest.ca.
