I had been eyeballing this Gearwrench 2 piece set:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014ZXWP0/?tag=atomicindus08-20

for a while and today while at Sears I saw this Crescent set marked down or $26.99

(i've seen the sears stuff... i like the napa much better)

you can't see them that well with their pic on the plastic wrap, i just found this ended auction which shows them better

Is the Napa US made? With shipping these are the same price as the Crescent at Sears where I currently get free shipping and the Craftsman Club discount...

 

[rollscanhardly]

both sets are made in china

choose your poison! lol

have you tried the handles on the crescents? i don't like them, other than that, they all seem the same, gear wrench, napa and crescent... probably come from the same factory

I bought the set a couple years ago at Xmas time. They can be pretty handy. I did notice at the time that the mating of the jaws can really very (poor quality control).

I have the crescent set as no makes these in the use and they can be very handy. I paid $26 for them at sears.

I have that Crescent set and they've worked very well for me in all the time I've had them. If I remember, I think I picked them up for right at 20.** or a little under out the door when I got them. Keep watch on them, they'll go pretty low on occasion.

The napa is literately the same thing as the gearwrench and crescent. They are all Apex tools.

Factor in the $9.50 shipping and it is a wash of just getting them at Sears for $27

I think I will go with a German made set instead. A lot more cash but a lot better tool...
