I bought some Martins a while back and they looked similar to the style of Pratt-Reads. (with the tapered handle) They work fine but the chrome finish came off of one of them and another had the Martin name stamped crooked and was fading away. Other than that, it works fine but I definitely...

Thanks for this review. I briefly considered HW for stands and hydraulic. Not anymore.

Ok I logged in for the first time since I made this post and I found a PM from 1982fxr basically asking me to prove in some way that the epa is shutting down tool companies and or forcing them to move production overseas. There may have been some confusion about what I was trying to say, so I...

Tell that to the steel makers who are forced to shut down their plants, because they can't afford the ridiculous 'upgrades' required by the EPA...and yes they are ridiculous. No one likes breathing polluted air, however if you put into perspective where pollution levels were, at the turn of...

Just got my Martin screwdrivers today...which look like re-badged Pratt-Reads but hey it's all good. Feels really good to replace my old worn out stinky Craftsman's

Needle Nose and Diagonal cutters from Martin Tool.

Lisle has some nice torx sets...American made. I would stay away from Craftsman stuff though

Seems a little pricey at 64$. I got a similar set free one time for opening a checking account.

Not only are American Made tools an indicator of superior quality, but buying them helps support our economy. The latter of which is more important to me.

According to one of their catalogs, all of their hand tools are made in USA...However, They do have a factory in China. I was hoping they would be my source for screwdrivers, unfortunately their 'global presence' makes me a little hesitant. I don't know where you would go to buy them.

Thats funny, for that I give them an A+. If it wasn't for my commitment to buy "American Made", I would give them some business. To go against the grain in this politically correct climate and have the spine NOT to waver in the face of adversity AND a bad economy, should be acknowledged AND...

My apologies to the op. It just seems that everyday on this site theres a million posts about Craftsman prices/how they were great once but now they ****/how somebody somewhere found a great deal/how someones father,grandfather,etc used Craftsman blah...blah/etc... Just because they are the...

Not sure if this is a veiled attempt to advertise Craftsman Chi-Wain garbage, or a legitimate question your asking...but I'll bite nonetheless and inadvertently push this ad campaign one step further by stating that... According this link, it seems that the Evolv 12 amp/ 7 1/4 saw is at 26.99...
