Have had positive experiences with Cripe's, but you need to be mindful of the shipping charges.

Definitely adding these to the cart.

Most of what I'm buying though is 3/4 sockets. All but two of mine are no-name Taiwan--but my ratchet is now a vintage Armstrong, as are two of the sockets. Also--none are metric....

Cripe is awesome

Just email them your cart contents, they will send shipping estimate

My past orders I let the cart calculate, and it was pretty silly, but still cheaper than other places. Will try this next time I want to order.

Thanks for the share this is a new find for me ..
Last night was TES …. fell down that rabbit hole

 

[yevangelis]

I’ll add my thumbs up for cripe

 

[Buckgnarly]

Cripe is great, I've bought so much stuff I'll never use there ! I THINK they may even have a GJ code?....maybe?

 

[Tundra1]

I've had great luck with them. Built out my metric wrench sizes above the standard 18mm max that comes in a lot of kits. They have some good options for Armstrong and kobalt usa. The hardest part for me is digging through everything they have and finding the stuff i didn't realize i needed!

 

[nicks78camaro]

Did Ridgid make those pipe wrenches for Armstrong?

 

[yevangelis]

I appreciate how with for example wrenches , they mention the length

Btw Ive made all my Cripe purchases through ebay

 

[Garagegho5t]

Just a heads up Cripe used to be good, but the last 2 orders have had multiple issues, missing items. I called Debbie about it and she transferred me to Heather who was really rude and refused to send the items. Been a customer for a long time, but not any more. Proceed with caution.

edit: I see why now, they gotta to pay the bills! In 2023 they lost a court appeal vs Ada County regarding a tax assessment on their warehouse. Now their expenses get passed to the customer, I guess. I genuinely hope they stay afloat but it won’t be my dollar.

 

[Tundra1]

That stinks. I've had a few recent purchases from them with great luck. Hopefully your bad experience was a one-off.

The experiences of other members here who've dealt with Cripe have been much different.
I've never had any issues dealing with them.
Be sure to order from Cripe directly from their website - not on ebay.
Be sure to "sign up" as a member so you can take advantage of their monthly promos.
And always - stock up when you're buying from them, because you're paying the freight.
