It seems Harbor Freight will ship new products to the store before they update their website. Until they update the site you can only get them from the store apparently or maybe calling them.

You can also find these individually sold at northern tools, under the Klutch brand.

I have them in Mountain brand and they’ve worked out well. I did break the 19mm and my GearWrench dealer warrantied it for me, since I bought them on his truck, luckily. They are surprisingly durable.

Thanks for the time. I feel comfortable buying ICON with the 20% coupon. It’s actually the only way I buy ICON.

Bought the exact set from Cornewell, Best wrenches I ever bought. Saved my ass many times reaching into places I couldnt get into otherwise.

Same as Cornwell too. I just got the set of 21/22 & 24/27. Nobody else I could find had 27mm. They were $260 for the pair. Best wrenches for doing lift kits and alignments. The offset is perfect for clearing the alignment cam pin on Chevy trucks and the 27 is crucial for for the alignment cams that come with a lot of lift kits.

Yes they are a new release. I bought mine at my local HF store today. $150.00 full price and $130.00 out the door with the ICON 20% off coupon. Thank God I waited until someone with a good warranty policy released them at the Mountain Amazon price.

They are great for working on modern cars with everything shoehorned into the bay. Lines everywhere, hoses, parts and the bolt can't be reached easily and never mind even grabbing on the recessed bolts' head. These will do the job. I wouldn't use then to break a bolt or nut on suspension but most engine parts are low torque anyway.

Just bought these today. Nice set to add to my tool arsenal.

Oh my god I’m pissed. I’ve been waiting for icon to come out with these for months. Figured they never would so I ordered the Mountain set last week. Would be much nicer to have the icon for the simple warranty at Harbor Freight.

Bought the matco ones about a month ago. I work in a shop 6 days a week and they never fail me.

I was actually scoping the set last night on the S-O truck (Mountains) when the rep showed me the new snap on versions which are really nice but i wasnt about to get into pricing I alraedy knew they would be an arm and a leg. If he would of kept his mouth shut i probably would of walked out with the Mountains but now gotta pick these up at HF only thing thing what would really be truelly handy would be a fixed non ratcheting closed 0° end that you can break with and fip it over and keep going working on buses poses plenty of obstruction and the 0° offset always always applies the most torque I feel.

Woah. I paid up for the Matco version over the Mountains and Platinums for ease of warranty. Didn’t know about the Icons! Btw, not the same as the EZReds. These are better made. The Mountains / Platinums were the original non-Matco release.

I have the Napa Carlyle version, but using a 20% off ICON coupon might makes these a great deal if the price you mentioned will be and stays at $150

I have a 12x14 mtn wrench and cant speak for other brands but ive broken 14mm bolts that i have no business taking off with this wrench andnits conpletely fine. Head still has tension doesnt flop. No bindings or chipping.

I just ordered a set from matco today. I already have the 21/22 and 24/25. They are beefy and super handy for alignments and whatever else you need that reach for...I have had the gearwrench 120xp long flex wrenches for 4 or 5 years and have never liked them. They break easily and they will round things off, very loose fitting more so than my matcos. Snap on has a nice 12 point non offset non reversible set for 570.00 ...

Go with the Tektons,they are 6 point,the warranty is great and they go from 8 to 19

These wrenches are a must. Remember, the same people that brake these are the same people that put cheater pipes on 1/4 ratchets. My favorite versions are made by Gearwrench. Fixed box end on 1 side and ratcheting on the other. Newer ones have 120xp flexhead design which are nice. If you use the fix head to "break" free a fastener you'll never have any issues.

This type of wrench with the regular ring at one end seems to make more sense.

You are correct about them being made by the same manufacturer, however, icon and other lower end are made with cr-v while matco is made from 440. They look identical but the material are completely different.

I have this set. I use them all the time. The spline drive works great with external torx fasteners. I've got no complaints.

My friend whose a supervisor at harbor freight showed me these 2 weeks ago before they were even advertised. I bought them on the spot. I also have a few pieces from mountain and they are exact the same just rebranded. For any one who want this and don't have access to trucks, get them at harbor freight for the warranty. I paid $129 tax included with the Icon coupon thats going on right now. Amazon has them around $115...so the difference is minor. They will break so buy them with warranty in mind.

I had the matco for 3 years now never had a broken one. Before that I had the mountain, ez red, and platnam had to replace all the time

Had them for awhile brand is platinum .very good and useful tool hands down .never had a problem or broke them and ive put a good amount of force on them to where i thought i was gonna break them haha.very cool HF offers them if i do break my set ill pick them up from there.

crazy watching this in 2023 the mountain set you mentioned that was 135-150 on amazon is now 220 and a 4-6 week wait

Was about to buy a Matco set off the tool truck. Now I’ll just go down the street to Harbor freight and buy it a little bit cheaper. These work great for alignments on newer BMWs in conjunction with the gear wrench 21s

HOLY SHIT!!! Icon put out something I actually want! And with the Icon coupon I can get 20% off. Thanks gato.

Your hands give you more credit than half the box openers on KZfaq.

dude im so glad i didnt get the mountian wrenches i just bought these they had them at my local hf for 150 and i used a 20% icon and got them for 120

I still like the Gearwrench long double box end with one end ratcheting and the other end a fixed box end with the deep box.

I love the wrenches I bought mine at HF for $149 before the 20% off as soon as they came out and just saw them at store and online for $199 wow I wonder what happened.

I got the NAPA Carlyle variant of these because they are the only ones with a ninety tooth ratchet design. Everyone else is seventy-two teeth.

I ordered a set of these platinum tech brand for 190 and they come very handy

I have the PLATINUM set which is exactly the same Wish I got the icon version for easy warranty replacement

I got the Carlyle versions on sale last year for like $90 per set. I picked up both sets. They’re pretty handy sometimes.

Don't let The Den of tools see this, he'll get offended 😂😂😂

Excellent vid, I think I will go with Harbor Freight Icon as I live less than 5 miles from a store.

Still have my original moutains from many years ago i know how easy they break. A lot of my co workers used them to break fastners loose then they would break the joint or the ratchet part and the snap on and matco guys would give us resistance on exchanging them but after a fight they would eventually. Just never use them to break off tighten fasteners.

That little offset is great for belt tensioner pulleys in today's cramped engine bays.

9mm hardware is super rare. 11mm hardware also rare but 7/16" can be used in a pinch as about .004" larger than 11mm. 8mm and 5/16 are only .002" difference. 19mm and 3/4" are only .002" difference.

newer subaru vehicles have a bolted on battery tray that you have to remove to replace spark plugs. these are MONEY because of the depth of the driver. there are two 14mm bolts stacked on top of each other vertically in the fender that suck. you have 2.5 inches of clearance between the engine. these are great

The spline drive slipped the first time i used it.you are right it will strip many bolts.i prefer to buy the 6 point drive next time.

Just picked these up at my local harbor freight, Haven't had a chance to put them to work and see how they hold up.

I have tektons 6 pt 6 piece, as well as one ordered special from matco and various others they r very handy

Now they're $225, or $168 with itc 25% off. Nice to have . HF icon ✨️

Torque test channel proved that spline does grip better than normal 12 point.

i paid 69.99 on amazon this set is great for belt tightening on nissan maxima with out removeing the front wheel as for the set being good i have one out of the set that has broke on 1 end. HORUSDY 10-Piece Extra Long Flex-Head Ratcheting Wrench Set - Chrome Vanadium Steel With Metric 8mm - 19mm,With 1/4",3/8",1/2" Socket Drive Adapter

These are still only available in store, and our store never has them because I guess people know when the truck comes in and they buy them up. I’m going to wait until I have a student discount from Matco, if it’s 50%, I can get them for about the same price and have a tool truck warranty.

harbor freight tool truck could you imagine lol

may be my first icon buy!

Icon has identical maybe a bit better QC finished the same as Matco. I want the icons for the easy warranty

I picked these up for me, they are light weigh fast and fix in alot of places

they are $220 now at the end of 2021.. black friday is probably the best time to buy these

Tekton makes a set in 6 point .... I use em all the time

I was wanting them to start selling these as well as the knipex style adjustable pliers an now they got both I just wish my store would get them now

New release from HF? I don't see them listed on their website.

They are now $225.

If you cant afford snap on tools, icon is a great route.

Yeah, 9mm and 11mm are not common sizes. 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19 were used on my cars but don't recall other sizes. Might check Klutch.

Thank you for the review Catus. As usual it was informative and interesting !!

Napa Carlyle warranty is excellent on these wrenchs. No receipt needed. Napa's are everywhere

8mm is a 5/16 , 11mm is 7/16. If they do an SAE set they’re probably in there?

Lot's of KZfaq mechanics swear by this style of ratchet

i hate spline drive. the issue is that the loading is closer to the fastener corner. i've noticed that i've damaged some 12pt heads when using the correct spline size on them, a true 12pt tool loads the fastener farther from the corners. that being said, 12pt fasteners are pretty high performance and generally torqued far above their 6pt counterparts, the issue specificially for me was on jet engines with smaller bolts, 7/32 to 5/16 not sure if this would improve or worsen as sizes increase.

I can't find these on the HF website. Hmmm...

Ratcheting crowfoot wrenches are definitely a thing.

It do have 8mm, the 9mm and 11mm is missing which I can bare with cause they really less use unless u bleeding and some small fasteners are 8mm

Only ez red has both reversible on nut and locking that i could find. Just ordred both sae n met. Getting hard to find. Looking for the anbull ratcheting flare nut wrenches next.

They do gouge and stick. I would prefer standard 12-point or at least have a set as well

Ive abused my mountains for 2 yrs.. never broked. But common sense if its a 17mm to 19mm and is pretty tight. And if you can actually reach it with h a ratchet .. use the ratchet.

They are for access not for leverage. People break them using them as a breaker bar

they strip on the cawl first. i took mine apart and if they dont engage 100% they start to slip

Dawm 😍those are super nice

I’ve been wanting years for harbor freight to get these! I got impatient about 6 months ago and bought the 6pt version from tekton, think their 135.00 for metric and 95.00 for sae

Can you please respond to everyone, where can we buy these... we copy/paste part number and nothing comes up.

i like that offset head

Good review bro! Thank you!!

Thank you

Are these easy to rebuild if something breaks. I am asking because I see a number of people selling broken ones on Ebay? Not necessarily HF, specifically I have seen Mountain and EZ-RED for sale which are all Kabo made. Why would you buy a broke one on line? Unless you knew exactly what was wrong with it and you had a solution to fix it?

Harbor Freight ones are now $219. They were $199 a few months ago. Mountain ones are $134.

the only difference between icon and matco are the metal. matco requirements are cr?mo metal and icon uses gthe cheaper crv metal. other than that they are the same.

i dont think you be able to warranty them out, because they are going to ask you for proof of purchase, for your phone number and if your number is not registered that you perched them, store wont let you warranty them(with icon you need proof of purchase)or make sure you have that phone # of that person who got those wrenches for you

Good lord buddy, how about some Norwegian hand cream.

I just bought the mountain set a few weeks ago. Wish I waited to get them from HF for warranty.

ignore this if youve heard it before but I had a mate whose skin looked similar it turned out he had contact dermatitis and had to wear gloves and get treatment

I have the Carlyle stamped set.

I just grabbed a few marked S-K and Tekkyton has them in 6pernt

Time stamp 5:22...Catus..be careful saying those things...Susan is always watchin

i like that slight offset, ive used other offset wrenches and they suck cuz the offset is wayy too much for wut i need. Do they sell a shorter version of these wrenches?

Yes, I really don't like that they leave out some sizes in the sets just so you have to buy them separately at a very high price. Craftsman is famous for screwing their customer this way.

Bought a set just to replace gm wheel hubs, 2000+ Tahoe suburban Escalade Yukon etc

Where did u find the icon ones because they are no where to be found on the internet?

"Super Long, Ratcheting, Semi Offset, Double Box End Flex Wrenches" is not only an interesting design, but it's a mouthful to say as well. I don't see myself buying a set anytime soon.

Snapon just started making these in the USA. A bit longer and the head is much thinner. I'm going that route because they do break easily.

They are very fragile but when you need them, nothing else works.

Mountains have the 8mm x 10mm but I got them a while back but no 9. Don’t see a lot of 9mm anyway

These would be great except for the spline heads which makes them a no-go in the rust belt.

These things are now $224 at HF. Jeeeeeeeeeezus

snap-on makes ratcheting box end crows feet. I had them, found i had no use for them and sold them. lol

So what sizes are the smallest wrench cause you said you don’t have a 8mm. I thought the smallest one was a 8 and 10mm
