I dont get why theres so much hostility towards Chinese made tools or even import made in general. Its the companies you guys should be sickened by if anything. They made the decision to move elsewhere, they decided to take a company thats held USA customers happy for years but instead decided...
I dont know about that specific one but my old coworker at a dealership used the zero ratcheting flex head long wrenches from mac all the time and they work great. He used it on brake bolts, drive belts, etc.
its not the seniority but more of the preferences among us. People who only support USA tools and those who buy what gets by and finishes the job. I see it as a bias between those two sets. In my opinion its stupid but to each his own, just buy what you like. If thats USA made tools go for it...
Haha this thread will end up like any thread that involves origins. A war between those who support American made tools and those who support tools that gets the job done.
HF box. Its more durable than any craftsman boxes available other than the professional series. Its probably the best box for around $340 with all the extra savings you get sometimes.
Its more than likely important. Who cares, for the best bang for the buck, US General tool box will serve you better than the craftsman boxes at sears.
Went to Sears Outlet near my place and found these two boxes. Thanks to USMC he fetched the idea of checking out my local outlet. Here they are. Came out to $700 out the door.
Brand New! When we loaded it up on the truck I accidently smashed the craftsman logo on the orange box.
USMC...The outlets store in San Leandro,CA has two matching tops if you were interested I didnt pick it up since I dont really like the top chest much! Maybe they could ship?
Hey I was inspired by your post so iwent to my local sears outlet and bought two of these but in ball bearing for $340 each! One in Orange and One is Forest Green! I brought back one today and tommorow ill pick up the other here are the pictures:
Brand Spanking New from the outlet store...
I would be on top of that in a heartbeat:
1. The color is rare and man it'll be nice to have a box that stands out rather than the typical red and black.
2. The price is great for that box. If it was the typical price I wouldnt though but for the price its a great deal.
3. Flimsy or not what...
