Show off your.... Carlyle Tools!!!

[65k10]

Worked- thanks! Can't help but think if they made it easier to find, they might sell more. Off to study now...

I want to say that at one time, the product catalog was linked on Napa's Carlyle website. One thing to keep in mind about the linked catalog is I don't know when it was last updated since some of the new adjustable wrenches on the sale page do not show up. Still, it seems to have most of the tool line and I've found it useful in finding part numbers and basic specs.

It was, and the one that came from the link you posted is much newer than the last one I downloaded from the Carlyle site a year or so ago.

Anyone buy anything good recently?

I picked up their knipex pliers clone that was discounted a while back. So far so good - I have been happy with them. Plus a set of their long pattern wrenches from that deal earlier in the year.

 

[Smokeshow69]

I picked up that 1/4 drive flex head that takes different bits. I don’t use it all the time but when I do, it is a lifesaver!

Nope, there haven't been any sweet deal in the real deals fliers for the past year at least. Seems like they've replaced all of the 90 tooth flex head ratchets with the 72 tooth quick release versions. I haven't seen anything that I can't live without.

I started to see online ads for Craftsman tools at Napa. Does that mean Carlyle's days are numbered?

I say no because, NAPA also features Dewalt, Gearwrench, and Proto mechanics tools as well. I don't see Carlyle going away but, I could be wrong too.

 

[Tynee]

I think the Carlyle tools are nicer than new Craftsman. Hopefully if something goes away, it will be Evercraft.

I agree with you, sir.

I would very highly recommend the Carlyle screwdriver sets! You would not believe how comfortable they are and the shape of the handle gives you so much more torque with less effort. If you really need to torque something, you can use the hex bolster. I have craftsman professional drivers as well as Proto duratec drivers and some snappy hard handles. The Carlyle drivers are my favorite users! They are a heck of a buy

Thank you for the recommendation, sir. You **** because now I am going to have to try another brand of screwdrivers.

You won’t regret it at all

I bought a Carlyle #2 Phillips at a flea market for a buck after I picked it up. When I picked it up, I immediately thought this is one comfortable screwdriver.

 

[Smokeshow69]

Just to be clear this is the style of screwdriver I am talking about. I bought the 8pc set of flat tip and Phillips drivers and will be buying more to fill out the set

You may be able to save a couple bucks by ordering for pickup at your local store. I don't know about your local Napa, but mine will generally run my purchases through their highest volume account to get me the best price they can. Plus, you get to "shop local."

My two so far a mini bolt cutter and a rethreading kit

 

[Drunkonunleaded]

A family member works at Napa. Needless to say, it was a Carlyle Christmas... The jack is on sale this month for $250, which is one hell of a deal.

I'm in the process of overhauling my entire garage, this is part of it. The plan is to pick up a Carlyle 1500-series box come spring and start filling it.

Not pictured is a locking 3/8 flex ratchet, bit ratchet, and a few screwdrivers that I have in my road box. Likely I'll be picking up some mid-depth 3/8 sockets for the road box and cut foam to fit.

Wow. What a haul. Merry Christmas!

 

[Drunkonunleaded]

Thanks! I will say that I paid for nearly all of this. The light was gifted and is honestly one of the best I've worked with. It's lightyears better than the Braun or similar.

Family connections are always the best. Nice haul. The Carlyle socketry and screwdrivers are great values if you can get it for the right price. All of us other guys here are left praying the Real Deals actually comes out with something good or WCP has some more inventory.

Am slowly retiring my Braun lights to let my kids put them out of their misery. Heads are floppy and batteries can't seem to get good contact even after a good cleaning no matter what I do.

I nearly bought that jack awhile back on sale. The NAPA's around here aren't much fun to deal with and sometimes won't honor NAPA sales. I wish I had one though. It's a hell of a deal at two fifty.

I find that corporate stores will often put things on sale cheaper than franchisees can buy them, so its tough to talk them into selling stuff for less than they have in it.

Dude, you will love that light and the screwdriver sets! Heck of a haul! I have had that light for 2 years now and love it!

Thankfully, the Napa I go to honors the Real deals.

 

[Vwpower]

Here’s all I got. Lol

You will like those drivers, especially for the money

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

This is the only Carlyle tool I have I believe. Got it back in August or so. Use it at work I got it to fill in my sets. Actually haven’t used it yet because I haven’t needed a shallow 20 for anything only a deep 20. I might have more if they will warranty some old tools that say Napa on them. I had planned on buying some more tools from there the other day but had to go to AutoZone as Napa was out of the ones I needed.

Carlyle breaker bars with the comfort grip, does anyone know why they are so expensive in relation to other brands? I want a few of the odd size 1/2” but I can’t figure out why the cost premium.

Also, does anyone have an idea of what’s going on with the locking flex heads? They have been out of stock for months. Are they redesigning them or are they a victim of the supply chain crunch?

They are expensive unless you can get them on sale. I've bought all mine when they have them in the monthly prolink flyer. But they are really nice ratchets and my store will rebuild them for you if they fail.

 

[bobg03]

Is there a difference (other than color) between the blue and green screwdrivers?

 

[Smokeshow69]

Nope, just color. Every set I have seen in person is the same tips and shank bolsters.

I have noticed that Carlyle tools are expensive too but I still think they are a bit cheaper than the tool trucks. Your mileage may vary.

I have been drooling over the 1st quarter real deals.

They can be… but if you watch out for deals, they are out there. Just have to keep an eye out and jump on them when you see them. There is a guy in the classifieds who periodically sells nos Carlyle at great prices. I got the screwdrivers- blue handles for $40 and the 1/2 drive locking flex head for around $60!

 

[Smokeshow69]

Also scored this 1/2 long handle for I think around $45 last year when it was on sale?
