    Gearwrench deal at Sears

    the "case" is a cheesy plastic tray.... not a case. I chatted with sears about it and they said "there is an error in product description." and offered a refund, I said I'd rather have the case, they said we can give you another 10% off, I said I'll take it. the wrenches are nice, anyway...

    The Chinese Do It Again...

    Indeed. Lots of good Chinese tools already... "good" as in they are in use in professional's shops day in and day out for years getting the job done. Sometimes they **** and they fail but they are getting better all the time.

    Regular guys, what's your Sears alternative?

    My main source of tool buying information is here... I come on here and check hot deals and browse various reviews... I buy nearly all the HF stuff that passes on the HF pass/fail thread, I have their 21 gallon compressor, the earthquake impact and ratchet, a bunch of sockets, torque sticks...

    I got Husky at Home Depot for my HF Earthquake. They have been fine. The HF hose started leaking after a few years. I just got the Craftman black rubber 50 to replace it.
