Re: sears- dewalt new wrench's

Something I noticed about Dewalt tools. I thought the thin profile craftsman ratchets were heavy.......pick one of the Dewalt ratchets up. They must have did some market research and decided the user equates mass with quality.

Hmmm, I just wonder how difficult a warranty exchange will be?

Will we go to the mall or to the mail box? :dunno:

Craftsman, in the third pic, the wrench on the far left looks like its very thin on one side, and very think on the other Side. Optical illusion?

Never said they was. I was referring to your screen name. I can't look at them in person. Closest store is too far away.

ah ok......

well, I think they are a decent wrench and a decent deal.

I have Craftsman Industrial wrench's, some Mac, some snap on and a 14mm Flank drive plus, Gearwrench surface drive plus and now these.

I think these are decent and worth the money.

I know there is a thread in this website comparing all the flank drive plus type wrench's. I think these will be on par with the best, for a fraction of the price. I dont think they are overly thin, or weak. thin has advantages at times, and disadvantages.

Everyone has their own opinion, but the bottom line is...GET THE JOB DONE. it isnt a show piece, its a Wrench.

Anyone have an update the usage of these? Want to pull the trigger but don't want to blow $107 if they ain't IP to the task. I like the fact they are a little longer then cman rp.

Maybe I am not that hard on my tools but I can't tell you the last time I broke a wrench. Or the last time warranty terms factored into my tool purchases. If the tool is good quality at a good price I would buy it no matter the return policy. If you want a good quality Taiwan made wrench set at a good price($40) for an 11pc set with a craftsman like warranty. Go to lowes and get the Kobalt set. Oh and they go on sale for $29.99 once in a while

yes.

I used them on doing some brake line work last week.

I REALLY LIKE THEM

Believe it or not, I moved them into my goto wrench drawer, and have been using them. At the price I paid, its a NO LOSE tool.

From the picture these look like they're longer than the raised panel wrenches.

I'm in the market for a set of long metric wrenches, these look like they would fit the bill rather well. I might have to swing by sears on my way home.

They are longer the RPs. But not enough to call them long pattern. Iirc when I compared them in store its about 3/4" difference.

I wasn't expecting such a quick reply :beer:

that sounds perfect since I feel the raised panels are just a bit too short.

Thanks toolstools, looks like I'll be picking up a set on my way home.

Np! Also iirc, some of the smaller sizes like 10mm was the same length as rp. But ya, rps are shorter then most standard length Wrenches. Let us know what you Get!

Re: sears- dewalt new wrench's

Look like mac to me since Stanely owns both.

Should be the same as the Stanley stuff, there was an article (on the net) a few months ago that some of the Stanley Fat Max stuff was going to be sold under the Dewalt name. So I would think it's just more of a brand name recognition sales tactic.

But who's to complain if you get a good deal and like them. :dunno:

71goldss,

I bought (4) vintage units instead, a '50s SO 6 drawer chest K-55R, a '77 CM 12 drawer chest, an '80s? Waterloo 6 drawer chest, & a '50s? Kennedy 2 drawer cab. Only so much $ to work with or would have grabbed it fast. Happy Trails!
