so i was at frys earlier tonight doing some x mas shopping and i decided to walk around their tool isle. I was a little surprised to see they carry felo screwdrivers and xcelite felo rebranded screwdrivers.

I like the long pliers, never seen those.

I wonder how many poor bastards are going to have to drive out after Christmas and return on those last two masterpieces.

Nobody escorted you out of Fry's? They have a policy of no picture taking is allowed in the store .. Those long locking pliers are interesting ..

Probably hard to enforce with cameras on phones

Been there many times, they have a huge one here in Phoenix. Never noticed this and I've been in the tool isle before too.

I'll have to check this out next time I'm there, but if they price the tools like everything else, it probably won't be that competitive. Oh well, at least on the Felo screwdrivers, they still beat Amazon.

I'm surprised they sell those kind of tools at all.
I haven't been to a Fry's in a while though. Didn't know they even had a tool aisle.
What brand of ratchets and sockets do they sell?

 

[tonydanzah]

they had alot of excelite stuff, greenlee, but most stuff was stanley or other chinese brands. The only ratchet and combo set i remember was a stanley i think.

They've had them for a while i've got the Xcelite screwdriver set as well as the precision set that matches them. I think the precision set was around $20 and the regular set was in the $25 range. The one close to me also carries a good selection of Bondhus hex wrenches and screwdrivers as well as a good amount of Xcelite needle nose and diagonal cutters.

I got my first set of Wiha Precision Screwdrivers from Fry's at the Cambell store in Northern California! I really began to appreciate German tools after that and then I bought my Kraftform Micro Series screwdrivers.... and never looked back!
