My thinking is if I can’t get US made, I’m very content with Taiwanese. I have a lot of Gearwrench and Tekton, some Carlyle as well, and am super duper pleased thus far Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Re: HF US General Boxes, Are They Worth It? I have their 5 drawer cart currently and looking to replace my old C’Man stack this summer with a 56” double bank cab. The bang for the buck is unmatched as far as I know. Dual bearing sliders and stuff isn’t even found in much more expensive stuff...

I REALLY love my 90T Gearwrench. I have the locking flex comfort grip 3/8 drive and it is awesome. I much prefer the locking mechanism of the GW over my much more expensive Carlyle long handle comfort 1/2”. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Listened to some recommendations from you all and got a new Dual 80 off Ebay! I absolutely love it. The ratchet drawer is really coming together... Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

That’s the long flex head right? About the handle, that makes sense. I’m all chrome currently, but always been curious about rubber- probably not on a snappy though

I actually checked out the Icons the other day. They seem really nice. I wish they made a locking flex and not just the swivel flex thing. Good advice thank you! Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I’m definitely heavily considering the secondary market, probably almost exclusively, just trying to get a feeler of what people think is the best. You’re definitely right about YouTube and other places being full of import pushers.

Oh so they do make a Carlyle locking flex? I went to Napa the other day and didn’t see one. I’ll have to look at the other local one

Forgot to specify drive size! 3/8 is my most used for sure, and Locking flex is next on my list- probably a soft handle GW 90T however because I know I like them and price point. I like your theory for expanding the collection... get each category covered Sent from my iPhone using The Garage...

Part of it is I always wanted a tool truck ratchet, but it’s mainly because I know they’re quality tools with an excellent warranty, and the good quality and made in US is a massive plus in my book. Something that looks and feels nice, performs well, and something I don’t have to worry about...

Hello friends, I know there have been a million and one threads on ratchets, and I’ve read quite a few, but here’s a little twist on it: I’m a low budget shade tree mechanic ratchet addict who wants a taste of the fancy stuff. I don’t have a lot to spend, but am willing to set funds aside for...

Oh I know, right? I haven’t installed too many of them, but there’s a reason we try to patch for customers vs a full exterior redo...

That’s really looking gorgeous. Great job. Love the cedar look, and it plays great with the house. I dream of having a shop like that to play with... someday!!

That’s definitely something one could do, but like others have said, I definitely know all of my chrome sockets have the thinnest walls possible, don’t rust, and are [emoji92]shiny[emoji92]. Seriously though, shiny helps a bunch when you drop one into the abyss. Also, almost all my impact...

Probably standard used tool prices to be honest. I know my US Craftsman sockets are solid, but I wouldn't expect to fetch much for them. I couldn't pay anyone to take my raised panel ratchets away. They ****
