I own some trim and clip removal tools from them that I really like. I also own one of their power steering pulley puller/installer kits. It is a very good tool but being a bodyman I mostly use it on my own rigs and the occaisional side job. They make quality stuff at a reasonable price from what I have seen. I don't see why that oil filter wrench would be an exception.

I always buy any of the Lisle stuff if it goes on sale... It's decent quality, and they make some handy stuff.

I've got one of their SBC exhaust manifold spreaders that gets passed around like a cheap, er, you know. Anyways, everyone I know uses it and returns it. Even though they're like $15 anyways...

It's good quality, and value priced. I wouldn't say premium quality, but then again, you're not paying a premium price.

A lot of their stuff (if not all from what I've seen) is USA made, which at the price they sell it at, is a huge bonus.

I just picked up a set of torx sockets from Sears for $15 on sale, and although they're not snap-on, they're reasonably durable as far as I've used them, and you can't beat the value for a USA made tool.

Lisle makes many good tools. Infact Snap on, Matco, and Mac are willing to rebrand many of them.

Not a fan of their bit sockets, but just about everything else they make is awesome.

Around my shop, the Lisle inner tie rod set, disconnect set, spill-free funnel, and dual pad spreader get used daily.

I just bought that same wrench used at a local pawn shop for a couple of bucks. I have used it twice. It works well and I wish I had bought one a lot sooner. As far as other Lisle tools I have two sets of Torx sockets with no issues and I also use thier snap ring tool a lot.

I am a big fan of Lisle. Many of my old "go to" tools that I bought in the eighties from Snap On (BluePoint brand) are re-branded Lisle. They have held up well.

Ditto. All my older Lisle stuff is USA made. There is a lot of stuff rebranded for tool trucks with a jacked up price.

All of the Lisle stuff I have has been great value. I'm just a DIYer, so no idea how it would handle pro use, but it works well and seem to be of good quality for a fair price.

I like their special tools and prices are always reasonable. Their tools also hold-up well.

I have an oil pressure sending unit socket from them and it is pretty bad quality. It barely fit on a 3/8 ratchet to begin with (real wobbly) and after a few uses the metal around the square is all crushed up. Cheap soft metal is what it seems like

Their torx bit sockets **** but Ive had good luck with their other products. I like their creepers, door pin tools, disconnect tools, and spill-free funnel

Lisle and Thexton are a couple brands I use to fill in orders to get the shipping free. Frequently handy stuff.

Their torx bit sockets **** ...

Yeah if you need something big like a T55 you'll just wind up twisting a Lisle. I had to go Snap-On for that size since its one I use often.

I have no issues using the smaller ones however and I like that they're readily available in stores everywhere.
