These are my go to wrenches when ever I need a box end wrench. Same with most of our techs. Now, that said, there is plenty of variance amongst manufactures. I, and most of my techs, have Snap-On small angle sets. Why? Because they have the smallest head OD which allows them to fit is tight spaces, and they have a very fine ratcheting mechanism. Others have larger heads and more course ratchet mechanism. Yes they still work great, but aren't as versatile.

I have broken almost every other brand I have tried. I have broken my 13mm Snap On one once (most heavily used one in my set), but when my truck showed up on the thursday my driver handed me a new one...

That said, we need quality tools that help us get work done as quickly as possible. These types of wrenches can save minutes on jobs where labor hours are tight, so they are worth while. If you are in the garage at home or the driveway drinking a beer while you wrench on your car as part of your hobby these are really not required what so ever.

Cheers
