    A look into the New Lowes Craftsman set up

    Hey, thanks for linking to my video, as always don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already:) I did just do another video unboxing of two of the Larger sets they sell coming in at $349 (298 pc) and $239 (224 pc) both which are a little too pricey for what they are. I also have a final...

    Duralast quality fade

    I guess it depends upon who you are as the Duralast 80-601 has the selector switch in the opposite direction to my liking and is more of a HF/Tekton style and guts. The Duralast 51-105 has the selector switch in the direction I prefer and has guts similar to a Husky and the GearWrench 84t. I...

    Gearwrench Warranty, does it exist??

    It’s all Apex Tool Group at the end of the day. They make GearWrench and the TEQ Tools were all just existing rebrands and made it out of China. Video compare:

    Does anyone happen to have a Harbor Freight Gen 1 44” tool cabinet possibly item #68784 - 44IN 13DRWR Tool cabinet that could measure the 5” locking caster plate and bolt pattern distances? I’m hoping it is roughly a 4” x 4.5” caster plate and the bolts on center being about 2 3/4” apart on the...

    Disappointed in GearWrench

    Advanced Auto Parts in my area is cutting way back on the GearWrench and don’t seem to do the swap like they used too and look up if you purchased from them and direct you to the GearWrench website or phone 1-866-907-9716 otherwise. Another vendor quit swapping GearWrench onsite per Corporate...

    All new Made in China MasterForce going on display. Looks like a mix of GearWrench(shiny chrome) and Crescent(thin walls) and MasterForce without USA logo with a side of Craftsman from China lacking quality and style and thin stamps and etching. I only saw the 1/4” single sockets out and the...

    No more Masterforce (Menards) sockets and wrenches ?

    MasterForce products country of origin for all new single 1/4” sockets and packaged items looked to be made in China. The design looks like a mix between GearWrench and Crescent and the old MasterForce but all in a cheap way.

    Did Klein Tools give me the (screwdriver) shaft?

    Home Depot has a 90 day return policy if I recall correctly. Return or exchange it and call it a day/night as they are probably open until 10pm.
