Good catch. Last time I got GearWrench from Amazon was the 1/2" Metric set for ~$35. I think this is an even better deal.

For $24 I ordered one too. If anything it will be a graduation gift for my brother.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I also just ordered a set. Should make a nice set to keep in the car...

You guys are killing me here. I'm going broke. I should be sticking money into my cars not my tool box.

I checked the part # at gearwrench.com and it matches the set pictured at first. Also in the technical details it talks about the ratchet.

The product description of the original link mentions universal sockets, too...
It's also weird that MSC is selling the same thing at 5 (significantly) different prices via Amazon...

I don't know, but I feel like gambling today... :D

That's what print to PDF is for. I printed my receipt and the web page listing the item & price.

The biggest thing know is to keep this off the deal websites.

I think when they say there is 1 in stock there really is 20 or so. It still is available as of now.

It looks like they were getting them for about $25. It showed me $40 + shipping. I'l wait for the next deal I think.

I wish I would have gotten the 24 dollar price but I ordered 1 for 50 and change after shipping and tax. We'll see what happens, hopefully it's the correct part number...

Hmmmm.... That doesn't sound right, it lists the weight as 1 pound.

I just received an order acknowledgment from MSC and the listed this as the item that was ordered.

Not only that, they invoiced me two dollars more than Amazon Marketplace. I think i'm going to have to make an angry phone call at lunch today.

Mine was shipped too. It was the Gearwrench Quadbox wrench, not the 57 piece set :( I called and all MSC could do is refund my money. Amazon sent MSC a different item number than the big set. They said I could order through Amazon again. He saw the price on Amazon and since it was $50 something it made my price of $24 look even worse to him like there was something wrong. Oh well, maybe I'll try to call Amazon and reorder at the lower price. It was worth a shot I guess, sorry if a bunch of you guys have to deal with the mistake!

I just got off the phone with MSC, as well. This definitely is a glitch in their database. Oh, well.

Mike, no worries, this was definitely worth a shot :thumbup:

I went to Amazon.com and sent an email to customer service to see what they'll do, surprisingly their customer service department in India has been pretty helpful every time I used them. We'll see what they do here.

Mike, I wouldn't reorder it... You'll just get the same quadbox wrench sent to you...

I dug a bit deeper. MSC will sell you the set for $110 if you still want it. I declined... And I won't accept the shipment from MSC. That's what they told me to do. The lady already marked it as being returned.

If somebody here didn't save the original Amazon price, you can use my PDF here if you have issues.
