As with Snap-On, there is just enough material on the ends of the wrenches to get the job done, which means they will fit in places that others won't (such as Craftsman). I compared the Ikon 5/8" combination to my Snap-On and the only difference I could see was a slightly wider shank, but that is likely due to mine being a shorter version.

Yes I know what you mean Tom. I hate wrenches with schedule 80 ends on them. That is what I meant by the Snap-On 'look'. They are designed to be sleek, yet strong. My OLD Craftsman wrenches aren't too bad (not as slim as Snap-On though) but the newer import Craftsman tools are clunky and feel horrible. Same goes for sockets. While a nice fat impact socket is nice to have when you need it and have the room, a small thin walled socket is often the only way to access a lot of fasteners on things these days.
