I managed to become a Pratt-Read distributor, and I want to offer a special deal for Garage Journal members -take 35% off any Pratt Read product.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar with Pratt Read, they are one of the largest manufacturers of screwdrivers in the USA. They OEM screwdrivers for craftsman and others, and they make handles and blades for many brands as well. For example they make Klein's handles. PR makes 20 million screwdrivers per year, and another 50 million components. Everything is made in the USA in their own factories using high grade steel. They are also a great source of hex drive insert bits. They have pretty much every size, and theyre cheap.
I will be placing an order with PR on Monday June 15. PM me before then with a list of what you want. While I ask for a minimum order of $10, there are no minimums on items -for example you could buy one of every kind of insert bit. Or you could buy $10 worth of something and one 3.5in T10 limited clearance torx driver bit. It doesnt matter, just send me a list of what you want.
Here's how this will work:
Schedule:
I am placing the order on 6/15. It should show up around the 26th, with the orders going out on the 29th and 30th.
How to order:
Send me a PM here titled 'Pratt Read Order' with a line by line list of what you want. ex:
Slotted Cabinet, Rd -1/8 #82227
Torx T10, #82299
Include your email address at the bottom of the PM.
Once the shipment comes in, I will send you a paypal invoice for the items and ship them out once paid.
Shipping:
If your items fit in a flat rate priority box, they will ship priority. Otherwise they will ship UPS ground at cost.
If you have any questions, post them here -I will be checking this thread often. If you have a private question regarding payment or anything else you dont want posted here, send me a PM with the title 'Pratt Read question'
The catalogs with pricing are below. PLEASE NOTE: where it lists different packaging types, choose BULK. If there is no option for bulk, choose the cheapest option. Do Not choose 'Bag of 3' unless you want 3 of that item, or it is the only option.
Everything in the catalogs is in stock at PR and ready to ship to me, so I dont expect any backorders.
There are some items listed in older PR catalogs such as certain types of stubby screwdrivers, nutdrivers and torx drivers which do not appear in these catalogs. I will update the post when I am informed of the availability of these items.
If you are looking at the sets, price out the individual items as well, sometimes its cheaper.
I encourage everyone to look through each catalog in its entirety. There are some odd specialty items which come in handy such as spring tools, a blade tool for european style terminal blocks, a combo drive (slotted with 2 tabs sticking out) for the screws on switches and receptacles, etc
