Jonnesway Tools

[amishman]

I only found a couple old threads that discussed these. Saw them in my local Fastenal store. The ratchets seemed nice. Nice handles and the ratchet mechanism seemed nice.

Anyone here used any and what are your opinions on them.

I am a sucker for green handled tools. Don't ask me why, I just am.

haven't used them. the world doesn't need another mediocre imported tool.

 

[Merkava_4]

They look cheesy as hell.

i just picked up a set of SAE wrenches for 35 bucks brand new(retail for 110)
they seem pretty solid but i havent put em to the test
i mainly got em cause it was a full set and had some larger wrenches i needed

they look to be better than HF **** though

 

[lbgradwell]

I've never used them, but I was in a Fastenal once & took a look at them.

I thought they looked very good, actually...

 

[jdcompman]

Is it just me or do some of the wrenches and some of the ratchets looks identical to the Toptul ones?

 

[wrenhandtools]

Most of them look different to me. I bet Reverse Gear would know something about them.

 

[mooman]

I have a screwdriver set from them. Very nice. soft, squeshy handles. Better than Crafstman......just not the old black handled pro line.

Mike,

Believe me, I'm not trying to stir anything up, it's just what came to mind when I first looked at them. I was judging by the shape in the handle of the wrench and the head and reverse levers on the ratchets.

Ok maybe after I put them all side by side they aren't the same but they sure have some similarities.

I love the Toptul stuff I own so I wasn't being a hater like some others; purely an observation.

Hi JD!

I did NOT take it as you stirring things up at all. They do have similarities and 'maybe' Rotar might even make them without me knowing. That's why I mentioned Reverse. He sure knows a TON about tools in asia.

I also think I need to respond to your wish list as well!!! sorry!!

I have a jonnesway screwdriver set. It says "germany" molded in the handles.

Please take a picture !! Thanks !!!

 

[makgreens]

Well the wrench set I have doesn't say anything as far as country of origin
They seem stout enough to handle big jobs
I put one side to side against a crappy pittsburg 1" wrench and the jonnesway definately stands above it in looks and weight

Ill hopefully put em through their paces tomorrow and tell ya how they do

Made in Taiwan so have the generally good taiwan quality

I have a pair of their welding pliers from Fastenal. Nice pliers but crazy expensive compared to other brands I've seen. I got the Jonesway because no other store in town had welding pliers at that time.

The catalog I got from Jonnesway says the tools are made my Rotar. I think in an old past thread I mentioned I thought the Jonnesway tools were the same as the Toptul. Problem is, Fastenal does not carry the full line. tj

Soooooo I was right! Haha

 

[lbgradwell]

So, ROTAR makes TopTul, Jonnesway, Britool... They're everywhere!

 

[superautobacs]

You can add Facom in there as well. And who knows, maybe even stuff for USAG?

jdcompman, I was thinking the same thing.

Opps, late to the party. Glad you guys figured this out.

I have a set of Jonesway 1/2 impact sae sockets and they are actually really good as good as any Sunex or GP. I was given them by my company because I had to go out of town and work and I didn't want to bring snapon sockets to PineBluff Arkansas due to the crime in the area. I love them they have actually help up as well as any high quality tool.

 

[Coach James]

I know, old thread. I have some King Tony combo wrenches that have the same handle as those Toptul.

[Bullitt427]

I have a set of side cutters from them... I really like them and the bigger diagonals are my go-to.

If I remember right the COO isn't marked on mine.
