I've seen several members claim they've seen Chinese raised panel wrenches, but no one has ever been able to turn up a picture of them. I just checked my store today. They have lots of raised panel wrenches, even new stock with the new packaging, but they are all USA made. The spline wrenches...

My 2007 Hyundai Sonata has been having some ABS/ESC issues. I don't have access to any scanners that can pull these codes, so I finally had to take it to a couple pros last week. Eventually, the dealer told me it appears to need a new ABS module. The dealer wants $2,000 to replace it after taxes...

Why are replies disabled in the Made in the USA section of the forum? People sometimes post incorrect info and there's no way to point it out. For example, check out this thread: http://garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137130 Wrangler jeans ARE NOT made in the USA anymore. They moved...

When I was at Harry Epstein this weekend I noticed they had a couple of the new imported Cougar Pro ratchets. For those who don't know, Cougar Pro is a lower-priced tool line sold by Wright Tool. They used to be USA made, but now have been outsourced. These are first I had ever seen. This 1/2"...

I'm in the process of replacing the rear axle bushings on my girlfriend's 2000 VW Beetle. I made this post for another forum. I thought people here might enjoy seeing my cobbled-together DIY tool. It works really well and made replacing the bushings really easy. ========= I’m in the process...

I had an SK 45170 ratchet that had really bad peeling chrome. It was relatively new, but was clearly defective. The chrome was coming off in big, sharp chips. I mailed it to SK on November 30 and three weeks later this ratchet arrived directly from the “new” SK. The ratchet works great in both...

I'm considering buying the Armstrong MAXX locking flex ratchets, as I've been really impressed with my 3/8" drive MAXX ratchet. I'm thinking is that these could replace my non-locking flex ratchets and my XL ratchets. But, I don't know the strength of the locking mechanism. Who has an Armstrong...

EDIT - I should note that this tool kit rides in the trunk of a 2007 Hyundai Sonata. There's not an SAE bolt anywhere on this vehicle. I only put the SAE stuff in the kit in case I need it to work on my mother's yard equipment. It seems like her snow thrower and lawn mower always need some...

I had a Wright ⅜” drive ratchet missing the mechanism. I also had a beat-up Wright flex ratchet and a Taiwanese Powerline palm ratchet. I decided to do some switching around. I measured the palm ratchet and determined it would fit in the Wright’s flex handle. I decided the take the kit out of...

EDIT- update posted on 3-13-2012: Armstrong seems to have given several members (including me) some confusing info on these ratchets. Some members were told they're updating all the Maxx ratchets to 88 tooth. It now appears they're only updating the 1/4" and 3/8" drive non-flex ratchets to...

I've been getting some new things, so I'll update this first post with the new pics. I’ve recently been buying Truecraft tools. For those who don’t know, these were tools sold by Daido Corporation, a Japanese company. The tools were mostly made in Japan, with some made in the USA or Spain...

No one is responding to PMs. This sale is closed.

I went to my local Sears to see if they had any of the new Chinese raised panel ratchets. They only had them in ¼” drive. All the other ratchets were still the USA made variety. They did not have any of the Taiwanese fully polished ratchets. NOTE- In all pictures but one the Chinese ratchet is...

I have a 3/8" Armstrong ratchet that just chipped the pawl. It will need a rebuild kit. I'm going to call Armstrong in the next few days, but I don't know what to expect. The only local distributor seems to be Fastenal. I've read multiple bad experiences where the people at Fastenal had no...
