Yah I'm sure I'll make an *** out of myself.........again

 

[wrenchr]

I was thinking they might go on sale here soon and might try to hang on!!

 

[Mickey O]

I think those are made in China, let us know.

Yes damn it they are, but i need them and i havent seen anything like them from snap on

SO has them, but any single wrench is going to cost you more than the Cman set.

I played with them at the display in Sears the other day; they're interesting, but... I dunno, I've been using regular wrenches for many years and never really thought they were that inefficient.

 

[Old Donn]

$20's not a bad price, but if I had it to do again, I'd wait for a sale. Spline drive was the hook for me.

 

[Joe H]

I wonder how the GearWrench ratcheting version of these is.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in the movie Predator,

"You are one ugly mother effer."

Yeah those craftsman are not the prettiest wrenches but then again if they get the job done then that is all that matters.

 

[Deafautotech]

i did look at it and it has weird feel on my hands and it is kind of small... so i just put it back and walk away... the reason why i went there because i want see the new craftsman professional box... but there is nothing...

I saw that Craftsman Pro box on display in there as well and wasn't too impressed for the price it was selling for. It was definitely a nice box but didn't quite seem to be up to truck brand standards even though the price was.

 

[JohnFreeman]

Interesting... but not going to buy Chinese...

 

[fatrhino]

I personally don't like the looks of those wrenches, but I can imagine myself picking up a set sooner or later

 

[babyjay8495]

I'm not the "only buy American" like some members here, but I couldn't even do the Chinese version of this c-man.

 

[cwstevens92]

Older model brake systems on big trucks and trailers use 4 point stuff and a lot of specialty trailers (walking floors, dumps) use 4 point stuff too and its a pain in the *** to try and work those things with an adjustable so thats why i got them. I had no idea snap on had them or thats where i would have gotten them.

I'm thinking Sears receipt and [censored] wrenches back to the store.

 

[NUTTSGT]

They are ugly.

If Merk. was a Snap-on dealer, I would not buy any tools from him, because.................................





I know he would spread the tools on the living room floor and roll naked in/on them, before lovingly putting them back on the truck.

 

[autoace]

China/Craftsman.......................Sears is foisting turds in a bucket, testing if we will bob for 19.99 black paint, missing size, lackluster China ****.................Buy these things and all Cman tools will say China soon. leave the damn things on the shelf, let Sears have to sell them for 2 cents, then maybe they will pullup their socks and make something good again. Argh!

How are you talking to us Moose, did you take your computer with you?

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Yup. WiFi in my motel room.

That's cool - I don't even know if my WiFi works; never tried it.

You must have a notebook computer; what kind is it?

Knackered Sony Vaio VGN-TX5XN/B. Battery is so shot it doesn't even recognise that it's in. But it works (sometimes) and i can't afford to replace it so until it finally dies it's what i use.

Mine is the same way, it's a tore up Mac PowerBook G4 800MHz DVI. The battery will only last about 8 minutes if I unplug the A/C adapter and the cooling fans make weird noises at times. This model Mac had problems with the paint flaking off, but I've got a replacement top case ready to change it out with whenever I get brave enough to do the transplant.

Damn Moose, talking to us, we must rank. I was hoping your laptop, would be suffering from a chafed hard drive by now. Hope your trip is worth all your efforts.
