That's fricken cool! Does it actually work? Change direction, and ratchet? Surely must be American made!

Love it! Don’t want to pay $1670.00 for it, but I really do love it.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I bet it does work

I bet it does. I'd be especially impressed if that was hand carved out of a single piece of wood!

I bet it works too. The tubing flare set is a very weird choice for tools into art, had I the skill, time, and vision, that's the LAST tool I'd memorialize haha

That sure is neat, sadly, I don't have any wooden nuts or bolts to turn.

The handle on the ratchet looks like it would be more comfortable to hold than the real thing !!!

No metric sockets is a deal killer for me.

 

[markhm]

Just what I need to tighten the bolts on my #2 wood pencil.

 

[markhm]

wait...if it breaks will Sears replace it with a Chinese bamboo version? That would be a deal-breaker for me.

I wonder if the screwdriver on the bottom shelf is wood too.

Looks like a wood handle. Very cool stuff. I see a 5 cell Maglite off in the distance.

I'd rather buy a Snap-on set. Price would be about the same and I'm getting metal.

Seriously, though, I bet it was done with CNC.

shipping kills the deal.

Wow. He has a gift for sure.

 

[ssdave]

Nice set, but I'll stick with my old Proto and Snap-on. Especially at the price! He does have some real skill for precision work, though.

Maybe....maybe not.

I know, I know, I saw it on the internet so it must be true.

 

[IowaDon]

Yeah, you're probably right. I don't feel so bad though, as he duped Woodworker's Journal and the guys at Rockler too.

and now instead of rust I've got to worry about termites.
