I found these mixed in with some baseball cards from when I was about 12. All made in USA.

Picked these up a few days ago, and LOVE them. Not for breaking things loose, but that ratcheting open end works like a champ!!! Have used it a few times at the shop already and it's worth it's weight in gold. Only downside is that they're China made, but I don't know of anyone else making wrenches like these dual ratcheting ones.

And picked these up yesterday (the 1/2 inch set is being delivered). Couldn't say no to these for the 1/2 off price and then stacking on another $10 discount on each. And unlike the above wrenches, these are 100% USA stuff.

Ive been accused by some of having too many screwdrivers, but today I needed new cordless phones for the house. The set of 4 were on sale for $49.95 so with a pack of gum i got the total over $50 and received a gift card for $10 plus $.20 of Canadian tire money.
The screwdrivers were on sale for $15 minus the card.
$5 for this set!
These are going into my electrician tool bag to replace the shorted ones I had

Good night

Went over to sears yesterday checking out what is in the store. Dang almost all handtools are made in China. I was hoping the long flex head ratcheting wrench set still made in usa... Guess not up to these days. Oh well but still craftsman name is still there.

Been getting a bunch of tools. 3 piece Craftsman Professional Pry Bar Set, 12 piece Metric Flex Gearwrenches with completer set, 8 piece SAE Flex Gearwrench with completer set, 5 piece Matco flip socket set, 42 piece 3/8" Matco ADV set, the 3/8" and 1/2" Universal adapter. Both adapters seem to be the pinless design. And I'm waiting for my 24" flex head ratchet since it says it's backordered.

And my favorite is this... 18v Lithium 3/8 impact with the big batteries and 30 minute charger.

The new arrivials look right at home in the drill drawer in my bench.

Can't go wrong with Bosch. They look nice. I have there 12v counterparts and I find them essential for my job. They have my favorite grips.

Terry, any particular reason you chose the Bosch over the new dewalt 20v? I've been considering both.

I have several friends that are Bosch junkies and they have been trying to get me to buy Bosch for years and they wore me down. :dunno:

Seriously, I looked at both and it seemed to me that the numbers were fairly comparable between the Dewalt and the Bosch with the Bosch being significantly cheaper with the Lowes sale on the combo so I opted to go with Bosch plus it just felt right in my hand. There is not a bad choice between the 2 though.
