Gearwrench 118 piece set

gdocktor3 · Jun 21, 2016

I think this is a pretty smokin deal. Ad the 20 piece set of Gearwrench ratchet wrenches from Sears for $50 & fill in the missing sockets and you have a really nice set of tools. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/to..._W-oX2gClnphpAQnG49VVt1l9ejMP5IbUERoC2Ibw_wcB

not bad some people pay 59 just for the ratchets

W_E_S · Jun 21, 2016

too bad it's not the 120x ratchets

Are you sure you can use that on a sale price?

It didn't throw any errors for me, was $54.11 after tax.

Nice. Just FYI, I bought the Gearwrench jumbo metric ratchet wrenches from them a few weeks ago on sale. They might still be on sale and were dirt cheap compared to anywhere else if you're interested.

Yup here's the link and actually I think I did use a coupon code on it now that I think about it. http://m.northerntool.com/products/shop~tools~product_200658514_200658514?hotline=false

I bought one for 49.99 for father in law Christmas! Plus paid $39.99 and joined the discount free shipping club. I bought my set at advance for $90 a year ago with the 60 tooth ratchets and I thought thatvwas good.

toolaholic · Jun 22, 2016

I had to call my order in. Northern site wouldn't open up PayPal or accept my credit card.

80sBMX · Jun 22, 2016

I nabbed one of the Gearwrench 118 piece sets for 49.99 and chose local store pick up to save the shipping costs. Seems like a decent deal to me. Thanks for posting gdocktor3!

Zip~Tie · Jun 22, 2016

Thanks OP. My local store had them in a clearance part of the store at $51.45. Used the $10 off of 50! With tax, $44.87!!

gdocktor3 · Jun 22, 2016

You lucky ducks with the local stores near you. My nearest store is 510 miles away in VA. I'll pay for the shipping...

jhelrey · Jun 22, 2016

246402 gives you $20 off of $100. I bought two sets. One to sell for full price hopefully making mine free.

Thanks to the OP for the deal.

I'll be putting one in my truck for snowmobiling season.

pescados666 · Jun 22, 2016

Damn, my paypal transaction seems to be stuck on pending... Gotta do it through paypal since all my money is on there until payday lol. Looks like it cancels itself at 2am, hopefully the sale is still going on or they reply to my email. This set would be a great upgrade from the few craftsman taiwan rails I have now

I'd personally pass. All the 3/8th sockets are 12pt and there's only seven 1/2" sockets, also 12pt, and they're all imperial along with being the same size as the 3/8" imperials. Kind of a waste to even have the 1/2" even in the set.

Agreed. 12 point is junk.

Not all the 3/8" drive sockets are 12pt:

"3/8in. drive sockets: 6-point standard metric: 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19mm; 6-point deep metric: 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17mm"

I originally posted this on another thread for a new member looking to start a tool collection. I think for someone just starting off this is a really good deal. As time goes on one could ad the additional sockets, universals, etc etc as needed.

But I do think it's stupid to put 7 of the same sockets in 1/2" drive as there are in 3/8" drive. Why not fill in the missing sizes up to 1" or something? Oh well.
I wonder if the voids behind the deep sockets on the top section of the case are large enough to fit the large missing 1/2" sockets. 7/8", 15/16", 1".

Go to www.ntxtools.com and type in "Gearwrench promo" and you can see all those deals. They've been running for years.

AdamRos19 · Jun 23, 2016

Anyone have a free shipping code for them?

gdocktor3 · Jun 24, 2016

Just go to google and type in "northern tool coupon code" and s bunch of sites pop up. I think you need to spend a certain amount for free shipping. I can't remember how much. $150 maybe

So it appears I'm getting my set after all lol. They really need to work on their paypal payment system because waiting for auth is confusing and weird. Still hasn't actually taken money out from my paypal, I think, but the 2 things there for this order from northern changed. At least it did give me some time to decide I want to flip this set and use the money to get the master socket sets instead.

Still waiting... Never thought it would take this long for a site to store order.

Went for a ride and picked mine up today (50 mile round trip). They had been in since the 6th. I lean towards the people who said the three 84 tooth ratchets are worth more than half the value. If I saw the ratchets packaged up separately at $29.99, I would have bought them, so everything else for $20 works for me. I actually needed a decent 18mm combo too.

PapaGrande · Jul 15, 2016

Is there an easy way to disconnect the 2 halves of the case? Can I just pry the plastic hinge apart w/o destroying it?

Would be nice to be able to just lay the halves in my tool cart open faced.

Kev442 · Jul 15, 2016

FWIW, I put mine in the top of my black HF tool cart. Stays propped open just like the smaller one before it. I never close the top of my cart.

The other day it mysteriously disappeared and then reappeared the following day. Could happen again...

Gotta give a shoutout to Northern Tool CS. I ordered a Gearwrench ratcheting wrench set to go with the big tool set. It was short one wrench. Emailed them about it Sunday night and they had a replacement on its way to me Monday morning.
