TEKTON 17 x 19 mm Long Flex Ratcheting Box End Wrench | WRN77113

I ordered this yesterday evening; it gave me the option for delivery between 4am-8am. By goodness it came just after 4am! 👍🏽 I bought this Tekton ratcheting wrench as I decided I needed one while doing my suspension work on my 2006 Mazda Miata/MX-5 (NC for you cool kids). If you know this car then you know that the fasteners inside the trunk that hold the shock mounts are extremely tricky to get to. Can’t use a regular ratchet & socket. Regular wrench doesn’t have enough leverage and only has a small swing arc. I paired this with a special doohickey socket I had never used with a 19mm external hex. Fit perfectly in the 19mm end of this tool, and worked almost perfectly to untighten and retighten the fasteners. The flex head allowed me to clear the hard lines for much better access and swing arc. The 16-inch length provided plenty of torque in both directions. I also used the 17mm end on the lower shock mount bolts and the control arm bolts, where I might not fit an impact driver or electric ratcheting wrench. As Tekton discontinued this 6-point in favor of 12-point (for more than double the price), this was an immeasurable value. I still prefer using 6-point for anything underneath the car / below the belt line, especially in these bolt sizes. Yeah not as easy as 12-point to fit over the hex head; just spin it a few clicks and it works fine. So I was very happy to get this at a substantial discount. You should too, while you can. UPDATE (May 2026): I decided to change out my suspension again, and thus found myself using the Tekton wrench again. Again, versatile and reliable. I used it at almost every step in the process: breaking loose control arm bolts (where I couldn’t get a socket in), tightening the top nuts on the new shocks yesterday assemblies (before torquing with a clicker wrench), etc. It worked for all of these purposes and never gave me any doubts. A couple of observations: The flex head is a bit too flexy or floppy. I tried to tighten the set screw but it was either ineffective, or would flip again after a few uses. The shank is very flat. Virtually no curvature. This gives a couple of issues. One, when laying on the ground, it is difficult at best to pick up with gloved hands. One way around this is to flip up one of the heads. Two, you will feel the edges in your fingers or palm when applying a large amount of force. They won’t cut or anything but it is not pleasant.

I needed a longer wrench for a difficult to reach bolt; so as I do, I checked what Tekton may have to fit my needs. This long, boxed-end ratchet with articulated heads was perfect! Sturdy yet light, strong though thin - the dialectics work! Some may say overkill, however I've put it to good use in other areas where a socket wrench seemed too bulky & heavy in the hand. I am a huge fan of Tekton tools (a family owned company) and their remarkable customer service, both of which are based in Michigan. Here's a statement from company CEO, John Amash, on the availability of USA made Tekton tools: "The percentage of USA-made products in Tekton's lineup is now over 20 percent, including angle wrenches, crowfoot wrenches, dead blow hammers, groove joint pliers, hard-handle screwdrivers, high-torque screwdrivers and nut drivers, pick and hook sets, and several tool storage products." Regardless where it was made, if Tekton is stamped or printed on the side you know you have a tool the is GUARANTEED for life. With an exchange system that usually asks a couple questions & for a couple pictures of the damage/defect; a replacement is typically in the mail that day & at no cost to you. It should be well noted that I have no ties or agreements with Tekton; I just really love their quality tools & service! You too will agree once you give them a feel. Remember....Price is only an issue in the absence of value.

Super useful, the 17mm is a good fit for low profile sockets. Made well and great reach

This def. has some reach to it. I liked the 6 point design and grips bolts nicely. The heads were tight when I first got them and have loosened up a bit. The gearing itself feels like there is a bit of play in it. For the price its nice to have.

This is one of those perfect items that doesn't come around often, one that does everything you need it to, does it well, and lives up to the marketing. It's pretty rare to find in tools, honestly. I wanted an extra-long metric 12/14 combo wrench with a pivoting, ratcheting, six-sided, bolt-protecting head. I have lots of wrenches, and they're all abusive. Because wrenches are easy to manufacture to poor specs, most of them are. This one hits it on all cylinders: fair price, great quality, careful design, and great leverage. I have cheap, short wrenches whose 12-point design gleefully rounds off bolt heads, and I'm just done, had it with that. I'm happy to have found this Tekton with its bolt head-protecting design, and expect that with some care relating to its ratchet and sane torque limits, I expect it to be my go-to wrench for a couple decades or more, well after the cheap ones go to the giveaway box.

I bought my first Tekton products - 12mm/14mm & 13mm/15mm ratcheting box end wrenches - in December 2021, and I was so impressed I've been adding other pieces to my toolbox ever since. The small scale clicks of the ratchet feel very high end, the shape and finish of it is modern and satisfying, and I very much appreciate the length for torque delivery and the pivoting heads for reaching stubborn spots. I now own the 8/10, 12/14, 13/15 & 17/19 in these, as well as metric sets of their 3/8" drive hex and Torx bits, which are fantastic in their finish and form as well as the twist-pull mounting on an easy-to-use organizing wand. Brilliant products! I'm happy to have discovered this brand after decades of building my Craftsman tool collection.

Well made, extended reach six-point box end ratchet. I've used it several times in tight locations and its paid for itself. Very satisfied...

Worked perfectly for removing the top bolt on a 2016 Rav4 rear shock replacement job. Space too small for a regular flex head ratchet. Tool paid for itself in one job. Only downside is there is no direction switch so you have to flip the wrench around depending on which direction you want to tighten/loosen.

The 12mm/14mm wrench sat in a walnut bowl on our coffee table for a couple of days because I enjoy looking at it. It is an elegant tool. Today I tried it on my garage door, which had a number of 12mm screws loosening up. It worked very well on the light task, though I had purchased it for the much heavier job of removing an alternator from a cramped space in a Toyota 5.7 V8 engine. The video mechanics who did the job successfully all mentioned that they needed a tool like this to deal with the tight quarters of the operation. I like the additional mechanical advantage of the long handle, and its ease of use in tight quarters. Anyway, on an early review the wrench is very pleasing to the eye and the touch. It does turn 12mm studs well. If there is more to say about it, I'll update the review, but for now the expensive wrench seems a good buy.

Quality item Would by this brand again

It is a battery wrench and going into fall with this tool i will be more efficient.

I was in the process of doing a serpentine belt replacement on my 2010 Mazda 3 2.5, and this tool was a life saver. The space between the tensioner and the car body is restricted and all I had was a flared nut spanner. It was short and didn’t provide enough leverage, besides feeling that would strip the head of the bolt. After some searching, I came across this wrench. I have to say that it wasn’t cheap but… worth every penny! As soon as I put it on the bolt, I was able to turn the tensioner due to its length without an extension, providing enough leverage without an extension. Since it ratcheted, I was concerned about the mechanism, but it withstood the pressure and also I was able to move the handle to a more suitable position. It arrived promptly packed in a plastic bag inside a cardboard box. The finish of the wrench is a very nice chrome without blemishes. The ratcheting mechanism worked flawlessly.

Nice wrench. I broke mine, but one quick email and I had a new one sent out to me pretty quickly. Great customer service.
