Combo wrench sets prevent damage to fastener corners

The SuperCombo combination wrench sets feature Supertorque lobular openings to prevent fastener corner damage. The box-end design prevents rounding of nuts and bolt heads by applying all torque on the flats and providing no contact clearance at the corners.
