    I would like a long handled, 6-point, box end, 12 mm wrench for less than $25. Does anyone know where I can find this?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Well, I just bought it. As long as it doesn't round off the nuts or break in half, I'll be happy.

    A lot of the 6-point box ends I could find were short wrenches (SK being a popular search result). Hope it works for you.

    It arrived. Now, I like to think that I'm super strong and stuff (I've got the ancient symbol of iron as my avatar...); but when I can bend a wrench (the thin center section) with my bare hands, it might be a bit weak. I only need it for 2 nuts though; we'll see.

    They changed their "lifetime warranty" @ Sears. I was looking at some craftsman wrenches this week. When you go to the warranty page it says 1 year.

    I thought this was weird too. I have no evidence for the older products (besides word of mouth)... but the online stuff shocked me for new items.

    yeah, but I don't see how they could go back on a warranty they offered for ages

    Ok from my experience the policy has and has not changed... When I worked construction I could just walk in and exchange any tool I wanted. That changed somewhere around 2005... At that point automotive tool were still exchangeable "lifetime" but with other tools (construction) it went to a year. As for now not fully sure, but I have never had a problem with an exchange of an auto tool ever.
