In for that price. Carlyle has a good rep here and a backup to my Knipex for less than half seems like a good deal to me. Thanks OP!

How handy are those carbide scrapers? I'm not too familiar with their use, but I like them. :)

I have gasket scrapers already.

The carbide scrapers work great. I've got a snap on version and it takes minimal effort to remove gasket material by back dragging. I'd recommend them for any toolbox.

Sorry guys, I had trouble finding the scrapers too. I should have put a link. I was trying to multi-task at the time. I think I might order them.

Call me crazy, but I think the only real deals were the carbide scrapers (by a few bucks at least each) and those pliers. I could kick myself for not buying more stuff a year or so ago when they had some awesome deals on the Carlyle tools.

They came in today.
The pliers appear pretty decent but are a bit less streamlined than the knipex.
I have these and Knipex in 10" and they both open to exactly the same amount.

The carbide scrapers are nice too. I have been waiting to pull the trigger on some and finally bit.

Very nice. Look forward to receiving my order as well. Seems like Napa changed up its distribution. Last order in September I received in a day locally. This time the order is being shipped from Indiana.

Ordered late Monday, got today! The pliers wrench seems really nice for the money. Might grad a few more things with that $5 off since their shipping is Prime fast

Here's a review of the carbide scrapers. In the video they are branded "Titan" but judging from the handle shape they are the same OEM, made in Taiwan:

1" is 25.4mm so the knipex 10" is 25.4mm x 10 = 254mm. the napa pliers are 263.5mm. so basically the napa pliers are 10" or a little larger. so the two pliers are about the same size.

The scrapers are a knock-off of Innovative International Super Scraper which had a popularity explosion thanks primarily to big youtubers. Since then clones have started appearing everywhere. Lisle has Innovative International making them a version with a chemical resistant plastic handle, 81780, that is also USA made. Just for anyone that cares.

The Mueler Kueps look identical to the Taiwanese OEM. Buy the Napa.

Just an FYI on those carbide scrapers...the medium size has a curved "blade" vs the small and large that have a flat blade. It's not a huge deal, but it was a surprise, since I didn't read anything about it in the description.

Noticed that today as well. Worked great today trying to scrape off stickers on the windows from the darn kids. Here’s a picture

I grabbed the small and medium scrapers. I didn't think I'd need the large. They seem like nice quality tools.

Thanks for the heads up, I ordered a stool and a tote. I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to use the tote for but I'm sure I'll come up with something.

You have to play around with the store selected in order to get the stool for $11.

I got my step stool and it actually has a decent amount of storage space. It’s also very sturdy. Definitely a good buy for $11.

Not sure why the stool says online only. I actually picked one up in the store this weekend when I was buying a new riding mower battery. I saw the tote there too but I have another version I bought from the steals and deals sale several months ago. Already used the little stool though and its pretty sweet!

I got my parallel jaw pliers today, and I’ve been really impressed, especially for the price. I’d put the quality above HF Doyle (I don’t think they even offer flat jaw).

This is my first Carlyle purchase, definitely a fan.
