This has been going on awhile and some of the nicer sets are sold out. Still a lot available, though. https://hausoftools.com/collections/witte-closeout-sale

Witte closeout at Haus Of Tools. I'm not in the market so didn't compare prices but I find Haus Of Tools is typically competitive before sale prices. I really like the couple of Witte that I have. Like others, there are various grades. https://hausoftools.com/collections/witte-closeout-sale

I have the Tekton. Surprisingly low backdrag. I rarely use it because it's so bulky but I can understand the attraction.

In my case, SK hit the sweet spot between the premium brands and the budget brands. Unfortunately, they were repeatedly sold and never really updated after Facom made a feeble effort at modernizing it. Ideal rode the same tired horse until it was ready to keel over. The hype leading up to the 90...

I think the Great Star acquisition was a textbook case of foreign money buying a name. Name recognition is very powerful. Craftsman anyone?

So sad for me to see what they've become. Times change.

In many cases the advertised warranty is just sales promotion. They know the product well enough to know it's going to perform but saying "Lifetime Warranty" to a potential buyer boosts sales. If a high percentage of their product was failing they wouldn't be saying it. You're paying for that...

This dinosaur saved the money and used 3/8 clear plastic hose.

I have a Klein. I use it to determine if I have turned off the right breaker. I use it before I shut off so I know I'm getting a reading then flip breakers until I don't. I'm still cautious though. I'm aware of their faults.

They work very well for Harley Davidson clutch cable adjustment.

I'm in the minority. I think they all ****. Boring AF.

My wife gifted me this a few years ago. Again......I try to carry as little as possible in my pockets.

As a former Merchant Marine I carried this USA made Buck for many years until I retired in 2018. Since I got off the ships I carry as little as possible in my pockets.

Although I despise the company, it's pretty hard to beat the value of WalMart's Hyper-Tough made in USA bars. I wouldn't say they are the equal of Snap-On or even Mayhew but still decent bars at a good price. I just saw their newish 45" version today. I didn't buy it but I'm sure I eventually will.

Always good to hear from you, Dave. All the reps that participate here are appreciated by the majority of the users from what I observe. Keep on keepin on. The naysayers in here are a small but vocal crowd. I don't think there's any doubt that Tekton is reaching their target audience and that...
