    I love Snap-On tools ..BUT

    Got a set of Mastercraft Maximum stubbies. Been using them for the last 12yrs., or so. They are great and when on sale at CT, nothing beats them. I use them for tight spots, not high torque, they are fine. Earlier this year I bought a Mastercraft/gearwrench ractheting stubby set just to get...

    How's the used tool market in your area?

    I travel alot, and in spare time I look for pawn shops and second hand. Up here there is a lot of mastercraft, and they are always trying to sell high. Not a bargain here because when Canadian Tire has a sale the price can't be beat. It is not worth it to buy mastercraft used. Yesterday I...

    Gray Tools (CANADA) in Maclean's Magazine

    The adjustables must be rebadged, who made them for Gray I do not know. However they are good! My guess is that they are made in Taiwan, and are similar to the new carlisle adjustables if i am not mistaken! They do have a US Pat. stamped on them. They are similar in profile to SO at the...

    Gray Tools (CANADA) in Maclean's Magazine

    I have 15" Gray 1/2" drive rat, awesome and a 1/2" drive breaker bar. Quality is as good as any truck brand IMHO! Glad that Maclean's could run an article. My hopes for Gray as a company going forward is that they would continue making wrenches, sockets and rat's here in Canada. I would like...

    Snap On Dual 80 w/USA stamp.

    I don't understand why somone would just replace a Dual 80 without stamp for one that has one. As discussed many times in forum the old Dual 80's are still USA made! The performance of the rat is not changing. I guess some people have money to burn. Personal preference for stamp, that's...

    Stubby Gearwrenches useful?

    I was taking of 4 charge air coolers off a big Mitsi., and I needed a 12mm stubby to remove the many bolts in the tight spots where the coolers mount to the air box. It was to tight for my 1/4 rat and socket. So before reassembly I called up SO rep for price on a SO 12mm stubby ratcheting...
