The set of 20 (10 SAE & 10 Metric) was 50 dollars. I already have the Gearwrench SAE's, but I needed metrics. I like the Gearwrench wrenches better than my Craftsman's.
Really, not I if I had to choose.
What I like about my Gearwrench is the little skinny wrench ends, come in handy in tight quarters, but you can break them. The wrench ends anyway.
Husky, just like Gearwrench except for the wrench ends. Yea, just the wrench ends 15% thicker. Plus I like the little directional arrow on the Husky's
Craftsman, -class of their own. They are a heavy duty version of both. I don't own a set , last Christmas purchased two sets for 2 of my brothers. They are thick, smooth. Blows the other two away in the HD category.
Haven't broke a gear end yet. They are all good, but yea, Craftsmen didn't cheap out that's for sure.
Yea, I can get to them isolating the drive, keeping that drive offline. I don't dare turn it on. It may compromise this one. So that's a big plus.
Okay well that's a step up. Consider yourself lucky. Most ransomware encrypts all your personal files and then gives you a link to go to to buy the encryption key to unlock them. If you don't pay, they erase the encryption key and that's that.

Wow, yes I can get to my all docs and the photo's which were are on the second drive. I also copied what they doing to a text file while they were on the phone. Attempted to print screen and tried snip as well for command prompt, but that didn't take dangit. Would have been better if I could have, love to send all that to Microsoft. I do have the text file though. Had just enough time before hanging up.
After some research, not sure if I want to attempt to fix the drive, it could be to far gone. Still undecided, - I could as I have a copy of the this drive in case it's compromised. I have to run 5 different programs in order to cover the bases..supposedly. That's not even guaranteed. Probably should just wipe that ssd to be completely safe, files I need are rendered. Just won't have 10.
Anyway, I have that computer up and running w/W7 trying to get update working. It was my last backup drive before the W10 upgrade dated 11/13/2015. Windows update is working in the back ground, but it's not showing itself yet lol. Might take awhile.
After, -I'll ask for a free 10 again with the info I send to MS. Like I mentioned earlier, I may have purchase 10 this time. Guess I'll see lol.
Btw, - in case you missed it earlier. Should of mentioned it one more time. Only one way to get into the drive to manipulate and retrieve. Totally different comp using a Apricorn adapter. I have two of those adapters, one w/it's own power supply and another 5v/USB power. At times, I'm limited w/just USB and w certain drives. This occasion w/SSD, USB connect was plenty.
That's the only isolation used. Booting from that drive is a no fly zone.

My Craftsman's are different than what you are describing. I'll hafta take a picture of them. Mine have no box end, just a ratcheting deal on both sides of the wrench, each a different size (i.e. one side of the wrench is 10mm, the other is 11mm). They are nice, but wider than my Husky/Gearwrench's and not as easy on my hands. They are definitely more robust though.
Google is my friend. This is the style I have below. BTW, after busting a 13mm Pissburgh socket on that bottom shock bolt today, I got out the Crafstman sockets. Soooooo much better built. I still think their old school ratchets are the cat's meow. I've probably got 3 each of all 3 sizes, LOL.

Oh, I'm not referring to those lol. I have those in Craftsmen metric.. only 3 left different sizes on each end, except mine have the pre bent angled ends.
The Craftsmens I'm talking about are a different breed same bloodline and cost a million bucks. Well pricey anyway, but HD as hell. Fairly new, just last Christmas. Geared on side, wrench on the other. Like my Gearwrench and Husky sets, just heavier and built.
I have some SAE's at work made by Crescent (work bought them for me) and they have a switch for direction. I was thinking tonight that those would be ideal for brake bleeders. The actually look the part of the Gearwrench/Husky/Craftsman line too.
The only other sets I've seen with this feature are made by Blue Point.

Good Morning Thinkers- hope this Sunday finds you fellers well and good!-
Our company deals with a tool supplier that has the switchable ratchet wrench- theyre made by Proto- they are heavy duty-and warranted-but you have to go thru our supplier to get a replacement.
