I can tell you that in America a set of these wrenches sized from 8mm-19mm are around 50 dollars. (Sears) yet in Australia ... well I haven't bothered to price them

but half the price of Sidchrome would still be more than 50 dollars. a link for a 20 piece set

As for how well they work I can take a 10mm and a 12mm in my pocket to the wreckers,
and 9 times out of 10 I will not need to go back to the car for my 3/8th drive ratchet and sockets.

Recently I lost all access to spanners so I needed a full new set.
I love my ratcheting wrenches - they're perfect for so many jobs when done right.
However these Gearwrenches don't ratchet, I got these as fixed-rings because they can take more "unff" and every single thing I seem to try open/undo or move in Brumby seems to need a bit of labour.
Next Birthday was planned to get the geared ones, but maybe not since Sears is so freaking cheap!! Will be the geared ones or the stubbed-geared ones (I love using these at work)

All you need now is a 7mm gear wrench for those odd hose clamps that are not 8mm, not 6mm, not 1/4" .....
Hehe, Well, Sister said, what can I get you for a birthday Prezzie so I said spanners, her face went totally blank so I found a set I liked then gave her a print-out of what they were, what isle they were on etc...
They were bought from DTS (Pretty good deals usually) in Kenwick... on Kenwick road if anyone's interested.
I used to have a 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 7mm with the old set at the old house, but alas, they're gone. I will be poking my head into every cashies looking through their spanner drawers for the next few weeks to get a $1 bargain. :P
Or maybe not if I can check out this Sears.com website...
