Question about Channellock 841S 8-in-1 Ratcheting Wrenches
Channellock 841S 8-in-1 SAE 2 Piece Ratcheting Wrench Set | 8 sizes in 2 Pieces Including 5/16, 3/8, 7/16 ,9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4-Inch | 12 Point Ratchet | Heat Treated for Durability | Made in USA

Two double end wrenches, so seemingly 4 sizes, but the description says 8 sizes. If there are removable inner inserts it’s not apparent in the photos (and the description says “2 pieces”). So how 8 sizes?

Each handle has two openings contains a socket.
Each socket has two different sizes..

Like a coin a head and tails....heads one size tails another

Because they ratchet in both directions it’s able to put eight sockets in two handles

Each end has two sizes. If you look closely you'll see that it's broached all the way through with the smaller size and only half way with the larger size.

I'm pretty sure these are made by Lang and were also available under the Craftsman name back in the day.
They are made from stamped steel and I'm not a big fan of them, but if you are needing made in USA and not wanting to pay for S-K X frames, you might like them.

I like my Lang hose pinch pliers and snap ring pliers that are stamped but everything else, I would try to buy forged.

Ah, so – Thanks. That’s a deal killer for me.
