Anyone know the COO on these? Also when does this deal end?

 

[just a noob]

It's either Taiwan or China

 

[DLAB]

I'm still learning all this stuff. But the Taiwan stuf is better than the china stuff correct?

 

[AndrewV]

Its taiwan.

 

[DLAB]

Seems like a good deal. I have been needing some new ratchets.

FWIW, the email I got about the sale said it is an "extremely limited quantity"...

 

[Dubbydoo]

how long are they?

 

[DLAB]

Well I just placed my order.

 

[W0rLDWaR4]

Thanks just placed my order as well.

 

[toufue_yang17]

If this was a flex head, I would've placed a few orders.

 

[nahudson]

In for one, thanks OP

[ipcress]

Just ordered a set, thanks for the head's up!

 

[Ketis]

ordered a set and got the indexing 120xp cushion grip to make the deal with free shipping!

 

[chipper]

I was gonna pass because I already have the 1/4 but it is a good deal so I jumped

 

[bob_the_builder]

Do you know if they will ship to Canada?

[ihateminimumwage]

In for a set. Looking forward to having some longer non-flex ratchets.

Looks like the deal is sold out now.

 

[chipper]

That didn't take long...they said limited stock glad I got in when I did

 

[DLAB]

Same here. I was thinking about waiting but glad I didn't.

 

[W0rLDWaR4]

Same here lol

If it's a matter of opinion, I vote yes - Taiwan stuff has always been much nicer than Chinese stuff in my experience.

I don't think its opinion, side by side every GW tool I have that was made in TW is better than later ones that came from China.

This also holds true in my old bandsaw from TW, late 80's, compared to the HF Chinese version sold today, the cast is very porous in the Chinese stuff which makes it much more brittle.

Taiwan seems to have either stricter QC or they take more pride in their work, either way when I have a choice I go Taiwan.

 

[chipper]

Anybody get these in yet?

 

[DLAB]

Mine should be there for me when I get home from work.

 

[wvrailroader]

Are they going to get any more in at this price or is this it?

[DLAB]

Got mine in the mail today. Awesome ratchets and a great price.

My Chinese GW ratcheting wrenches have a far better looking finish than my more expensive Taiwanese reversible wrenches, but neither have broken on me so I can't compare in that respect.

I also do prefer Taiwanese goods overall though.

 

[ineedtools]

Danahar must have picked up the QC in China then, I remember getting some of the XL's that were well off on the open end, the 10mm was close to 10.3!

GearWrench # 81360 1/2" drive lone 84 tooth ratchet is $ 37.97 at ToolTopia...

If you bought the "littler" pair...

You NEED the big one...

 

[Dubbydoo]

Not necessarily. Depends on the level of quality control implemented at the plant, and if GW gives a **** if the plant isn't meeting them.
