Kennedy Ring Ended Ratchet Wrench Set

Bit of a mixed bag from this Kennedy set, which covers 14 sizes in seven wrenches.

Overall Auto Express rating

3.0

Bit of a mixed bag from this Kennedy set, which covers 14 sizes in seven wrenches. It also has the desirable lever to switch rotation, so you don’t have to remove the wrench to change direction. But the ratchet is coarse and the heads big, plus the 17mm failed the strength test – albeit at a level you’d struggle to apply by hand. A good option to cover lots of fasteners.
