Yup, my dad got me a set of the SAE's for Christmas, awesome tools!

7 wrench set sells for $100???
wow, I got the gearwrench brand for x-mas and I think each set (sae and metric) was around $50

 

[Dark Eternal]

yeah but I will ALWAYS cough up the cash for craftsman, lifetime warenty no questions asked. I used a wrench as a pry bar, snapped it in half, took it to sears and they just handed me a new one. I cut up a secket to make a custom one - I mean cut it up with a dremmel! and then gave me a new one. Also I think the craftsman need less of a turn to ratchet, like only 5 degrees or something.

 

[ibthumpin]

Gearwrench was the model that all others have copied. They were the first.
Craftsman is certainly good, but these also are warrrentied.

 

[Dark Eternal]

yeah i know they were first, they sell them at sears even. Just you have to mail them in and shit to get new ones, plus honestly I liked the craftsmans better. Im not saying the gearwrenches arnt good, its what I was going to get until I found a deal on ebay. $100 is just to much for 7 wrenches no matter how fucking cool they are. $45 is fine.

yup, helluva invention. I find myself using only them now

 

[Dark Eternal]

I just wish they made some in bigger sizes. The guy at sears told me though they would be comming out with more sizes soon.

 

[Phil]

what size do they go up to?

 

[Dark Eternal]

18mm metric, 3/4 SAE. I use those 2 sizes ALOT though so thats good.

the craftsmen ones are a rip off for that price.. which seems like alot of their products lately.. $35 bux for 3 little screw outs is getting rediculous

Stanley makes the same damn thing for half the price and you still get the lifetime warranty..

All my tools are stanley and wouldn't have it any other way.

I have both SAE & Metric. Not Craftsman but Snap-On. This wrenches are great I use them all the time.

I bought a set of the craftsman for work and i'll tell you what, it sucks when I'm home working on the truck without them. :banghead: One thing though and i'd like to see if i'm the only one, I'm on my third 9/16. they keep locking up on me. :think:

BTW, First Post! WOOT :cheers:

 

[BuiltNotBought99]

DarkEternal what did you type in for the search on ebay I need to get some of those?

 

[Dark Eternal]

umm just craftsman I think and I was browsing through what there was and saw them. Im bidding on some SAE ones now.

 

[BuiltNotBought99]

Ok thanks man i'll have to check it out

what did u have to shell out for the snap-ons?

 

[Kal]

what did u have to shell out for the snap-ons?

I can't remember what I paid for them, they were on a promotion sale couldn't beat the price. The Snap-On rep I have likes to be used and abused, just bad 94 and I tag team him on prices. If you want I can get prices later on (I used to work for him).

 

[manofsteel]

if you could get prices that would be great. i know my dad has been wanting a set of those wrenches but $100 for the craftsman is just a bit too steep.

 

[jays68yak]

ive had some craftsman ones for a few years. They are starting to skip the teeth on the lil gear thingy. I should prob take them in. :insane:
