Armstrong vs. Wright wrenches

[TheGrooveking]

I was looking into getting a few wrench sets for the tech boxes at work, so with that I look into Armstrong 25-642 15 pc combination wrench set, MSC's price is $493.91, but then I looked into Wright's 915 15 pc combination wrench set, Royal Supply's price is $238.00. Both sets are full polish and come in a wrench roll. I know both brands are excellent brands, but how can Armstrong ask more than twice the price? What am I missing here?

Is MSC a fair comparison?

Still a good bit more expensive, but not quite double.

Still 30% more than the Wrights, both Made in the USA, still I'm at a loss for understanding the price difference.

I would get Wright.

Wright is wright.

No brainer on that one. Buy the Wright.

Armstrong's are marginally longer fwiw.

I got a set of wright grips and I would rank them better than flank drive plus SO.

You need to call Richard at TR Tool supply for the best price on Wright Tools he is a straight up guy and takes care of customers.

I dont think you could go wrong with either brand, I have Wright wrenches in Combo's, Double box end, Double Open end ranging from 1970 sets all the way up to 2010. They have a Great feel and have never let me down...

 

[TheGrooveking]

I'm going to go with the Wright's, but still wonder how Armstrong justifies its much higher price. Of course I'll have to get a few sets for myself...

Maybe they have a contract with military and they get to charge that much?
