My dad got this Proto box a few years ago for 100 bucks. I found the Matco chest for him last week for another 100.

It was fun getting it out of my truck, I’ll tell you that haha.

Picked up this Hein Werner 10 ton yesterday. Anyone have info on when it was made? Seems to work good, got it real cheap, don’t see any leaks. Thanks

I haven’t had a problem with broken craftsman stuff at Lowes. If they don’t have the same thing they have let me get something similar.

I’m looking to get a better bench vise. I like the Wilton 4600 but I can’t seem to find where it’s made? I read some wiltons are made in China these days? Anyone have experience with this model? (Or a suggestion on something similar) I want something about 5.5-6.5” jaws and I like the “extra?”...

I’m not saying it will effect the usefulness. I’m saying it shouldn’t be there. I have Quite a few quality wrenches. Proto Sk a few snap on. I know they are much better than the HF stuff. Not the point in my opinion. But that’s why I started this thread. Wanted to see what other people’s...

Nope. I don’t buy tools that don’t get used. The whole point is that I have bought plenty of harbor freight/hardware store brand tools that don’t have any flaws so why is it acceptable for quality tools to have them?

I agree it’s not that bad but they are the most expensive wrenches I’ve bought so it kinda bugs me. I mostly use older craftsman wrenches and there’s a huge difference using a quality wrench like a proto Snap-On etc.... I have a few older Wrights and they are nice too. These new ones feel...

When I pay around 200 bucks for a set of wrenches I don’t think it’s too much to ask to not have defects. I’ve worked in manufacturing (and done some Q/C)since I was in high school and wouldn’t consider this acceptable. If it wouldn’t bother you, that’s fine but don’t act like someone is in the...

Exactly. I don’t mind putting scratches and dings in my wrenches but quality control issues under the chrome of a wrench is something else. They aren’t bad and I could live with it but I’d rather not. I called and customer service is closed due to covid19.

Hey guys, Just joined the forum. I just got a 15pc. set of Wrightgrip 2.0 metric combo wrenches. They seem quality and I’ve had a few older Wright tools that have been great. I inspected all of the wrenches and the 22, 19 and 11 have some pretty noticeable imperfections in the chrome. On a HF...
