But I can see a clear difference in socket quality compared to gearwrench, same with wrenches. Most definitely not the case anymore, assuming it was in the past. Thanks for the input though I’ll look into it more

I’m not worked up, just asking why you think so. I’m relatively positive it is not the case anymore if it was the case in the past. I am not happy with the new Carlyle wrench I purchased (120 tooth locking flex 3/8 long handle) it’s garbage. No need to think I’m getting worked up lol

How long have u been a Toyota tech? Proud owner of a 2001 tundra limited 2uzfe with 160k miles 4wd, purchase in 2020 with 129k, own a 1994 ancient 1uzfe ls400, and my favorite gen Camry with the 1mzfe 2001. Will sell the Camry or Lexus for a lx470 someday

Awesome. I order my Carlyle for in store pickup and it’s ready the same day, probably because the gigantic Napa warehouse that serves the entire Chicagoland metro area is 10 mins from me. That particular Napa is actually connected to the distribution center. So I’m very lucky

Thank you for the reply! Awesome to see a Toyota tech in the thread. Die hard Toyota guy and I’m starting a collection of Toyota Lexus vehicles, mainly from the 90s-2006 era. Thanks for the reply. I want to get snap on sockets but can’t afford, and I want to make sure Carlyle is a step above...

I appreciate the comment but I don’t see how Carlyle and gearwrench are the same thing at all lol. I own both brands, and I own a significant amount of gearwrench and Carlyle

How in the world are Carlyle tools gearwrench with different stampings when their wrenches look nothing alike, their locking flex head designs are different, and ever single gearwrench product I find is made in china, and every single Carlyle item I find is made in Taiwan ???

The main point of my thread is what’s the deal with Carlyle, how good are they really. I’ve found threads from the past but the consensus is they are the same as gearwrench in terms of quality but maybe a little better. My opinion is Carlyle is Matco tool truck quality, and I want validation on...

I’m just all over the place, and that’s why I joined the forum. I love my gearwrench Taiwan sockets but I go out of my way to avoid china tools, I know for a fact they would serve me well, but I don’t want em. I want to feel good about my tool box like the tool box at work is

My issue with them is 1. They don’t look as good as my Carlyle’s, I can notice manufacture defects and it has two less sockets than the Carlyle 2. I saw a video made by a guy I think called Mr Subaru, and he was saying they were binding up on nuts when he was rebuilding an engine, and they were...

Hello all, I’m a new guy here. I have started building up an official tool box, with a us general 5 drawer 30 inch from harbor freight for 180 bucks brand new! I have some questions and slight frustrations about tools. I started out with a gearwrench 300 something piece mobile mechanic box, and...
