Armstrong pricing

[T56 Impala]

maybe I should just stick to Craftsman! Is this indicative of higher end tools? Is this price for real? It seems a bit much if you ask me. I know many of you guys use your tools everyday, but can they really be that much better?

Armstrong 31 pc. 12 pt. Full Polish Long Combination Wrench Set model #25-657
Price $3258.99

Thats a deal. It was $3288.61 back in 2005.

It seems excessive, but once you get above 1 1/4" expect to pay over $100 each up to $300 for the sizes closer to 2 1/2". This is about par for most high end tool manufacturers.

Cool! I've almost got a full set of standards. Just need to find a 9/16 & 5/8 to complete the set. Hell, I'd let them go for a lot less than that price .........

Guess I never looked at a set of Snap On or Mac but that just seems, well, silly to spend that much. I guess for me, if I had to have it, and Craftsman didn't make it, I would have to find a cheaper alternative. Wow, $300+ for a single wrench. Boggles my mind.

Guess at that price, it would be alot cheaper to buy a BIG Crescent wrench ..

Someone's got a decimal off somewhere.

$30 off is a deal that can't be beat

go price a set of wrenches...say from 1 5/16-2" or up to 2 1/2. And crescents just dont cut it in my field (Heavy Equiptment) so I bought the armstrong set up to 2".
