Recent price increases might prevent this deal from returning, but he could be thinking that HD has previously included this in their "free" battery pack deal, so maybe if you return the battery pack, the tool is about ~$90. Blades are much easier to change on a DeWalt, and Starlock blades are...

A lot of Chinese companies use either face-smashed-in-keyboard names which makes the quality of the product too obvious, or, in a stronger effort to obfuscate their origin, Japanese words for their brands. In this case, the trademark is owned by Hangzhou Sumayi Technology.

Although it doesn't appear to be commonly known thanks to years of misinformation regarding Vampliers, Engineer isn't the oem for anything. They design and license stuff but are a "fabless" company.

Heya, I didn't buy these and as noted above, that is not my photo. I have a few Lobtex wrenches that have performed great so far and discovered only because of your post that some products they offer are just relabeled.

Amazon shipped mine protected in just a plastic bag, and it arrived with a few small nicks on the handle. Also, the USA stamp seems to be printed slightly diagonally, so maybe some of these are factory seconds. I don't understand all the glowing reviews. Is it because it is made in USA? There...

Awesome! Thank you for answering!

Do the Vessel Power Grip handles smell like butyric acid? The description states cellulose acetate resin, but does not specify butyrate. PB Swiss adds a vanilla scent, but... ughhh. Always apprehensive about cellulose tools. Thanks!

I have some Tone tools and have been following the speculation about the mysterious COO of the ratchets for a few years now. A few days ago there was a discussion on the Facebook group "Tool Truck Pirates" and the following reply from Tone was posted: Thanks for reaching out and for your...
