    Ntxtools safe?

    It took me a little over a month to get the only order I placed with them and I had to contact them to finally get that accomplished. Fortunately, I was in no rush so it wasn't the end of the world or anything. I definitely agree that if time is important than go with someone like tooltopia. I...

    Husky 100 tooth ratchets

    Good to know. Thanks for the info. I have some that were given to me and I use them and like them. They're certainly not a truck tool but have held up well to moderate use.

    Kobalt 227 Piece Mechanics Tool Set $80!!!

    I thought these kits were all China now? I was given this set several years ago (Taiwan version not the even older USA version) and have been very impressed with it honestly. I've used it a lot (not professionally) and had no issues whatsoever. I added a few wrenches to the empty drawer and a...

    Lowes impact sockets CR-VA or CR-MO

    I have a set of deep 1/2 metric Kobalt impact sockets from Lowes and they are chrome vanadium (made in Taiwan). Bought them probably 1.5 years ago. They aren't the nicest out there but they work. In hindsight I wish I had bought the harbor freight CR-MO ones but it's not like they set me back...

    HF Pittsburgh ratchet directional lever

    What I was told the last time I was in harbor freight (to buy one of those composite ratchets which I love) they said no receipt was required like it was part of their training to say. At checkout the lady just said "that Pittsburgh ratchet has a lifetime warranty. Just bring it back in if it...

    Show off your.... Carlyle Tools!!!

    Just picked up the 1/4 and 3/8 roto ratchets to be my first Carlyle purchases. So far I really like them though I haven't put them through their paces or anything yet. They seem like very nice quality which I fear will be bad news for my wallet because I really want the 90 tooth ratchets as...

    Socket and wrench organizers

    I prefer the Lisle magnetic trays that can hold both shallow and deep sockets. I can grab that and go whenever I may need multiple sizes for a job and I can instantly tell that everything has been away when I'm finished.

    Complete tool set for my truck

    The Dewalt 204 piece set dips below $200 every now and then (haven't checked it lately). I have it in the back of my SUV and not a single piece has ever fallen out of its spot and all the tools are good quality (Taiwan). You would need some screw drivers and pliers to go with it and I'd consider...

    Gear Wrench 8-Piece Reversible Ratcheting Combination Wrench SetSAE or MM $29.99 @AAP

    I just picked up the metric set about an hour ago. They'll be replacing the straight/non-reversible ones that I got as a Christmas gift 5 years ago or so. They seem really nice (COO of China if that's something that concerns you a lot) and will get their work out this weekend for some brake and...

    Craftsman Extreme Grip 3/8 Ratchet - $15

    I just got mine today. After my points I paid just shy of $5. Granted I haven't really used it yet, but it seems really nice. Oddly enough, the only place it says "craftsman" on it is very small writing on the handle. I expected it to be a little more pronounced but that doesn't effect my...

    Craftsman 540 Pc set

    If I wanted a decent set of at home tools and currently had nothing, I'd consider the Husky 432 piece set. It's $399. That said, I don't own any Husky tools so I can't verify their quality but it seems very similar to that of the Chinese made gearwrench which is still good for China...

    high quality tire plug kit?

    +1 for Blackjack. It's the way to go. By far the best kit I've used.

    Lowes kobalt customer service

    I haven't had any issues exchanging broken tools without a receipt. though I've only had to have 2 things replaced so far. Walk in, tell them what's wrong, go grab another one off the shelf and then they do the processing as already been stated about the return/exchange without a receipt. I'm...

    Tekton Full Polish Wrenches

    I'd be interested to see how they compare to the Kobalt or Husky wrenches. It seems that Tekton could be in direct competition with those brands along with the Crafrsman in the video. Of course with Kobalt, you'd have the variation of the Taiwan vs China wrenches but I'm not going there.

    Craftsman 43 pc. Standard and Metric 12 pt. Combination Wrench Set

    Just got my set in and they too are China. Stamped A-AD I believe it was. I guess I'll be taking them back on principal more so than COO. I spoke with them when I ordered them and was assured they were the USA version. Looks like it's either ebay or I may step up to something like SK.

    Sears 299 socket set $240.00 WHOA

    I used the $35 code, then there was surprise points for buying over $300 in tools, then I had a couple of dollars worth of points myself plus free shipping. After tax it ended up being $250.26 and I had them in a couple of days. The trick for me was that when they went back up to $338 they...

    Sears 299 socket set $240.00 WHOA

    They showed up today. All were USA made and most looked pretty decent. It was missing a couple and 3 were damaged (messed up detents even for Craftsman so they wouldn't go on the ratchet, quick release or not - tried both). I'll call them tomorrow and see about getting those replaced/shipped...
