Thanks! Individual tap & dies above m12 and 1/2 get expensive and I've only got a few select machines that need it so hopefully this will be worth its weight in gold

Yeah you're not kidding about the expense. Fortunately, I can write them off as a business expense. I'm sure you will make good use of them!

That's a good deal. This is GJ. Not only do you need this but the 3/8 and 1/2 if they do a triple play deal on it too!

From time to time NAPA Canada has some great deals, last year I picked up the 1/4 and 3/8 roto ratchets

What do you think of the NAPA roto ratchets? They are the only roto ratchets ive owned but i feel for some reason they feel a little rough

For what ever reason, this brings me immense satisfaction. I have always wanted a regulated power supply in the garage and I guess I just got tired of dragging out a car battery for the last time.

Up to 32 Volts DC and 5 amps regulated. :) NICE!

Tell us more if you don't mind. Cost? Where to purchase?

Yes they feel a little rough compared to other ratchets that I own, I use mostly the 3/8, the 1/4 hasn't been used much, also I never opened up and greased so that may be a factor. Who knows if they were shipped bone dry or with light oil. Maybe the US guys can chime in to their Carlyle roto ratchets as they are pretty much the same thing except different handles.

Wow I’m not the only one. enjoy :rocker:

One of the best tool purchases I’ve ever made. We have the internal and external sets.
I use them multiple times per week. They will save you a ton of time and money...

Those long pliers in the first picture look very interesting. Never seen any like that.

Made by Kal tools back in the day. Rebranded by many ranging from Mac, Matco, NAPA, and many others. Really handy as you don't get the flex you do with long handled needle nose.

OK, I know Craftsman tools aren't what the used to be but when a normally $99.99, 42 pc. set of 1/4" and 3/8" metric and SAE hex and torx sockets with a ratchet, an extension and a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter goes on sale for $24.99 I'm interested. And when I find out that I have $20 worth of bonus points and my out of pocket cost for that huner-dolla' kit is just over five bux, I'm buyin' it!!! Hell, the extension alone is worth that.

Got that set about 2 years ago... use it periodically... well worth the $20 some odd I paid after points etc...

No failures... beat on a few of the hex sockets too... ripping apart an air nailer that was assembled with red locktite.

The ratchet *****... (mine anyway)... it's in my wife's trunk...

Installed the sockets on rails and organized them with the missing sizes I use. (SK-USA)

There's no way that's a 100 dollar set, they just list say that so you think the 24.99 price tag is to insane to pass up! That said it's an ok set, used a fair amount at work but the Allen sockets leave a lot to be desired and the ratchet might as well have rocks for teeth. We paid 29.99 like a year ago, I'd probably buy it again for casual use but I ended up buying neiko for my home box

How are the other pliers they offer? I was looking at the hose grip ones, most are made in somewhere elseville, not USA and they are total ****. If I recall, Snap On only sells them in the Blue Point line. I am always up for buying new tools. ;)

Thanks

Don't they sell Olympia at Tractor Supply. Thought I've seen it there before but not sure.

All I know is there were about 10 kits on the shelf and most all of them had $99.99 price tags on them as did the price marker attached to the shelf. They may not be worth it but that's what they were marked.

Yes, the ratchet looks a bit weak but that will go in the $5 bin at the swap met next month and be gone before lunch! I've got several older Craftsman and Snap-On ratchets in my box. Besides, I'm a home garage guy. I don't see a need to have top tier heavy industrial grade hand tools. If I break something I have backups or I go get a replacement. In any case you can't buy a Big Mac meal for the $5.35 I actually spent on the kit. I'm pretty satisfied.

I used them at work and kept snapping them, replaced them with a big vim set and now they reside at home
I got them for 30$ at Christmas, I'm not seeing them even worth a dollar more, I waited until Christmas to buy them for that reason, especially knowing that ratchet came with it

I have this same set and I paid about $5 for it as well after rewards points. I'll say this.. I've used it maybe 4 or 5 times. I refused to use the ratchet that came with it. It *****. I think it's only got about 5 teeth, and the back swing is ridiculous. The bits I've used are already starting to round off.. Not a high quality set by any means, but since I only paid $5 for it out of pocket, I guess I will keep it around.

I just got this from KC Tool Co. Used this weekend on old used bicycles, great fit for old crappy bike bolts. The paint is textured which helps with grip, but it does look like it will rub off the ridges over time. Really like them a lot though.

Picked up the smaller Knipex 8” hose clamp pliers and cutters from Chad’s Toolbox. The hose clamp pliers are just the smaller version of the 250’s or 10”.
