Old Peerless power hacksaw I inherited but I'm moving and can't take it with me. Great machine, works as it should and I have a bunch of extra blades for it. Very heavy. Runs off 120v.

I agree it's a solid ratchet and I love my Carlyle tools, just didn't expect it to happen. My long 1/2 locking flex head Carlyle ratchet was had zero issues and it's seen some borderline abuse.

Fedwrench usually I agree 100% with you however we just differ on this topic. Look at the price difference between Carlyle and Channel lock. You shouldn't expect to have a top tier chrome on your wrenches at that price however the actual wrench itself in composition and tooling is the same to...

Please. Don't be nieve. Sorry your girl lost.
