A guys has one a work it's four different size ratchet wrenches in one. I tryed to find one but it has no model/part number. It's has a 8mm on one side flip it over and a 10mm its a stepped design then on the other side I think is a 12mm and a 13mm pretty cool but gear wrenches get pricy on some sets. If your like me Im OCD and have to buy a whole set and can't buy a wrench by itself because I think well I might buy two more another down the road then the price of buying three wrenches separately I could of bought a whole set.

That's Me. I will NOT buy a single wrench. Sets ONLY. And I"m OCD when one of my wrenches in my set comes up missing, and I look and look and look until I find it.

I have a sae & mm set of the matco & one of the guys at the shop bought a set from bluepoint (snapon guy)for half the price and I like his better because they are thinner.
I dont like the reverse knob on the side, I like to just flip the wrench

The matco are made by gearwrench. I like the reverseable gearwrench sets. I now have them sae up to a 1in in size and metric up to 25. I could less about price cause they will pay for themselves if your a flat rate tech at shop or dealer over time.

Same here. The thinner flip wrench is what I'd prefer. Usually when you have reverse knobs or switches, is where you likely end up with breaking or worn ratcheting features.
