Greenlee Free Hat

[wilbilt]

I went here a few weeks ago and filled out the form.

I figured it would be another never-materializing promo. Much to my surprise, the free hat, along with a brochure, arrived yesterday.

I'll be taking a closer look at those new Greenlee hand tools

Signed up. Thanks.

Anyone know if their tools are any good? They look a lot like Klein.

They have always been on the specialty side of electrician's tools. I have some old knockout punches, fish tapes, etc.,by Greenlee...but Klein was always the brand of choice for screwdrivers and pliers amongst the unwashed electricians in my family.

Either they look like Kleins to attract the cushion-handled loyals, are they are Kleins...

I have but one thing to say-

Made In Tiawan-

Sorry to say,but every piece I've looked at has the same place of manufacture.

I thought their screwdrivers looked exactly like Kleins which are made by Reed Prince, in the USA, didn't see Taiwan on them?

I got a cap from them yesterday to. Nice cap! I forgot that I had filled out the questioner to get one. Nice suprise! It's fun to get free stuff in the mail.

I filled out the info for a free hat, hell since my late Grandfather retired from farming 25 years ago free hats are hard to come by

I have some Greenlee electrician tools and have had good luck with them. Most of mine are so old, that they must have been made here in the states, since no one was importing tools back then. Up until recently, HD was selling Greenlee tools in the electrical department. Don't know what happened, but they switched over to another brand. They came with a lifetime warranty except for damage by live circuits. Like any lifetime guarantee the guarantee is only as good as the dealer that sells it, so don't expect to exchange a tool at your local electrical supply house, unless you do business there.

The only Greenlee tool I own is a 1" metal hole cutter; don't even remember where I got it from ..

 

[Canadian Charlie]

Sent mine in, I don't think they mail to Europe

Thanks for the post. I work in communications and use klien nomaly, but tools disappear on jobs. I check them on planes so I don't have many good tools. If the bag gets "lost" I'm not out as much. That said I do have a nice set of drivers. The 10 in 1 tool gets a lot of use.

Wow....never heard of Greenlee? I can remember wondering in awe over my dad's KO punches in their leather rolls when I was about three years old. He showed me how they worked when I was five, and "helping" him with some wiring.

 

[bmwpower]

Just got my hat...boy, that was quick!

Haha.... yeah I remember my grandfather, great uncle's, etc all used to have racks of freebie hats they'd get from different machinery companies, salesmen, etc. Anymore everyone wants to charge you $15 to advertise on YOUR head! Nuts..

 

[snorvet]

got mine today - took about 2 weeks.

 

[Itzkwik]

got mine today too.

 

[Sidetracker]

Received my hat today. It's cool that the company is located in my home town.

 

[rotus7]

I got my hat yesterday as well....pretty darn quick! Nice hat too. I was surprised they didn't include a catalog though???

 

[Weekend_warrior]

Got mine today. Nice and quick

 

[amishman]

Ditto on getting the hat.

I like this company so far. Never purchased from them.

I sure wish they had more mechanics tools like ratchets and sockets, etc...
