Message I once bought a set at similar set at costco for $20. It had a 19mm and I think even a 17mm.
These are not selectable or reversible with an offset head. They are completly flat. In order that change directions you flip the entire wrench over. This sucks when the nut/bolt is flush on a surface. The swivle head ones take care of this problem, but I don't like torquing on a swiveling head. They seem to swivel on me when I don't want them to.
I bought the selectable version at sears on sale once for $30. The metric version of this:

My first ratcheting wrench was a 17mm craftsman that I paid $28 for. 30 bucks for a SINGLE wrench. Needed it to remove the nut on top of the rear shock. Did not have a "go-through" socket set at the time.
Since owning these types of wrenches, I almost never reach for sockets anymore. At least not at first.
