Part 4/7:
As the tests progressed, models like SK Tools ($23) and DeWalt ($24) entered the mix, with each demonstrating unique strengths but varying degrees of performance on tough tests.
SK Tools: Showed minimal slop at 0.7 mm and an average torque performance.
Dewalt: Had good jaw capacity but faltered under precise torque tests.
Top Contenders Rise
Going higher in price led to robust contenders like Milwaukee ($25), Stanley ($30), and Ridgid ($30). Each of these wrenches held their own with minimal slop and impressive torque capabilities—Milwaukee's striking adjustment and gripping forces were hard to overlook.
