Klein Ratcheting Lineman Wrenches
Pro Tool Reviews: Klein has redesigned their line of ratcheting wrenches for utility workers. The updated Klein Ratcheting Lineman Wrenches are stronger than previous models, and the brand has made improvements to the overall comfort of the tool.

I have been eyeing this kind of ratcheting wrench for a while now, and really would like to get myself a set soon. I am not a big fan of the heads on these Klein wrenches though. To me, when I hear of a 6 in one wrench like this, it makes me think that it is not going to be very good at any one of those six sizes which means stripping bolts and cursing. I would rather get a set that has only one size per wrech (or one on each end of the wrench is fine). I do like the ergonomics of this wrench, and it definitely looks like a big improvement from their older models. I am glad that some tool companies are still trying to make their tools last longer instead of using planned obsolescence to make more money off of us. The low profile of these ratcheting wrenches makes them so much nicer to me than traditional socket wrenches. Which is something that makes me really want a set.
