I saw a demo on TH-cam where a guy was testing the Overdrive vs MAC vs Snap- On open end wrench trying to loosen a very rounded off nut. The Overdrive was the only one that could get a bite and break it loose. Impressive.
Higher tooth counts get me worried about slipping through some teeth with added torque. I could be wrong but starting to feel like fine crafted pocket watches instead of usable tools.
I've got a V series ratchet just recently as a replacement for my OLD half inch one and I'm actually surprised how much I don't like it. Feels kind of rough and it takes a lot of force to move. Overdrive ratchets feel better to me, so that will save me some money in the future! I'm going to pick up the Overdrive wrench sets.
The new Overdrive Series is a good offering for Craftsman in store availability. The Overdrive Series combo wrenches are very nice, especially if you compare it to Stanley Black & Deckers Mac Tools RBRT prices. These Overdrive Series sockets are really too. I paid 102.43 for that 121pc Craftsman Overdrive Series set. I don't need them personally...I have like 20 different sets of various wrenches, I'll give the overdrive series to my son.

Craftsman is owned by Stanley Black & Decker who also owns MAC tools, so it's not surprising that they have the RBRT features at a lower price.
I got the 11 pc metric wrench set a while ago now I want the 284 pc set for the sockets. They should sell the sockets in individual sets
I agree you with you I wish they would come out with individual socket sets like they did with the V series line.
The Overdrive series combination wrenches are really nice and work great...if you consider their price, you can't go wrong with them.

Stanley ratchets need lubed when new. It'll make it 100x better
I like the pear head ratchets

The ratchets are very bulky, but the handle feels very nice.
Quite a few companies under the Stanley umbrella are selling their version of rbrt same teeth and technology just a different look and package
"They feel the same in your hand". Lol, okay! Thanks for the laugh.
I know the wrenches are made of a more brittle steel than the original ones.
