HF is easy, as long as it’s in stock. GearWrench is pretty pain free as well (online), I just found the communication a little lacking. K Tool was easy, just need to have the receipt.

About 30 years ago, I got a Craftsmen set (made in USA) from my grandfather. To this day, it has been the best present I ever received. Since then, I lost one 22mm, and cracked one 8mm.

@stevege68 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been a professional Toyota technician since 1989 and being the largest manufacturer worldwide with Toyota and Lexus, it’s disappointing that some kits don’t have 12, 14, 17, or 19mm tools. But on the flip side, with automotive fastener tolerances, and the tool tolerances themselves, many SAE and metric sizes are interchangeable. 8=5/16, 11=7/16, 13=1/2, 14=9/16, 16=5/8, 17=11/16, and 19=3/4. They’re not exact but for automotive and most DIY projects, they will substitute without any problems.

@EricLS 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, I get that a guy could convert, but missing 14 mm is like an instant DQ for me. Half the bolts on my Toyota are 14mm, gimme a break. Having to do quick mental math or look up a chart, etc is just a non starter.

@ifixem9585 6 месяцев назад

Agreed, same story here. But why not, for the love of all things consistent, just throw the fractions away? Think about how long it took you to write that. It's silly, and ego is trumping logic. Who the heck wants to fish for a 19/64 or whatever drill bit? Why not just...I dunno, a 3? Or 12?

@ducewags 6 месяцев назад

@stevege68 For years the 15mm was a far cry in sets. One set stopped at 14mm, the next set started at 16mm. Who even thinks like that. Also the 10mm might as well be made out of Plutonium, as it's a rare find for the everyday nut, bolt snap-off garage person. I am not the guy that suffers from a missing tool, or the wrong tool for the job. My tools have their own tools. Mine mechanic here.

I just bought the Gearwrench set, and I LOVE it! I'm so glad that I watched this video, as that is what turned me on to this set. Interestingly, Gearwrench seems to have made various variations of this set, all with the same part number...so to anyone looking to buy, be careful and make sure it has what you want. I managed to track down a set whose 1/2" drive sockets go up to 1-1/2"! I just wish they would have included more 1/2" drive stuff- like deep SAE and shallow and deep metric sockets...but still, it's the most comprehensive set you'll find, and great quality for the money. I mean, all of the manufacturers pad their sets with a ton of 1/4" drive stuff to make it seem like you're getting more than what you actually- but who doesn't already have a ton of 1/4" crap, and driver bits and crap?

I totally agree with you. With all this sets together you won't be able even to change a turning light on most of european cars, because most of their plastic parts are installed with torx screws,so you would need a good set of torx and hex bits premounted in 1/4 socket ,with a screwdriver handle adapter,wich are not present in those tool sets,otherwise the simple bits will fall in the engine compartment,or inside the car's door,etc,just to make a good test of your patience😄..... I have a set i bought 5 years ago from an unknown local european brand (i don't even remember it's name,it's of 3 letters or so),it's only 1/4 and 1/2,no 3/8,but with it i dismantled most of my Renault Megane,remade the engine and other repairs. The only tools i needed aside was the oil filter adapter and a torq wrench for the engine head.

@lupavo1738 6 месяцев назад

GearWrench is a tool truck brand, they’re just as bad as Snap-Off and Mac. I only buy tool truck brands on emergency or special unique tools that help me work more faster or efficiently. Although I’d say GearWrench does have better deals with even being featured on Amazon, that’s where Snap-On and Mac fails because all they want is money at MSRP for their overpriced crap.

Ok, my 2 cents :) Don't care what kind of tool manufacture my mechanic uses. Most IMPORTANT thing to me is having a mechanic who knows what he is doing and it really GOOD at it. Don't care if he uses a $100.00 wrench or a $10.00 wrench.

I have a craftsman tool set that I’ve had for 20 years! I found one at Sears that has “Made in the USA” stamped on it. That’s as rare as hen’s teeth these days, but besides breaking the 1/4 inch drive, it’s been great. I carry it with me wherever I go, it’s gotten me out of a bind on many occasions. But in all honesty, it’s probably helped more random drivers along the way than it has helped me. I’m 43 now, and watching this got me nostalgic for the days when I could still purchase craftsman tools that were made here in the US. It would be great to see these companies bring manufacturing home. I know there are a lot of people that need jobs that would absolutely love to have the opportunity to manufacture tools in the US.

I feel like they are pretty bad, they break pretty easily and the directional switch is always changing directions when trying to use it. It's annoying trying to loosen something then it gets tight again lol. I mostly used them on John Deere equipment with bigger sizes such as 24mm and 30mm locknuts being the most common so maybe the smaller sizes are better. We aren't allowed to use gearwrench impact sockets anymore because they have broken so many times and thrown shards across the shop to the point it's a safety issue.

I did end up buying an impact socket set because I dont trust 12pt sockets on my breaker bar so I have a bunch of 1/2 in sockets. I also love the warranty.

I work in the building trades and regularly use those all-thread couplings. Those couplers will always vary in size depending on where they are manufactured and what material they are manufactured from. The cheapy chinesium couplings do tend to be softer and will have several thousands variance in external size because of the galvanizing process or how long/short they sit in the deburring tumbler. I'm not surprised that some wrenches slipped easier than others.

I've never bought any other ratchets than the three in the kit.

@@bansheedearg OK, why not? This isn't exactly on the on-the-road type story but for the people it was. I was headed home from work one Friday evening. It had been a long day and week and I was stopping at the store to pick up some food my wife had asked for. When I parked in the lot, there was an SUV with its hood up and three 30-ish-year-old women looking at the engine. I sat for a minute and thought about it. I was hungry and tired, but I just couldn't leave them broken down in the evening in a small town where there were very limited options for help. I approached them and asked what the trouble was and they said it would not start / no power. I told them I had tools and I'd see if I could help. First check was the battery cable connections and when I went to loosen the + cable, the whole side pole terminal came right out of the battery. Well, the problem was easy to diagnose. The grocery store had an auto parts section and batteries so I sent them in to get one. Nope, they didn't have one that fit but there was a parts store not far away. I told them I'd give them a lift to buy one, but they were wary of getting in a man's car (smart). I drove and one of them walked to buy a battery. I drove it back and she walked back. When I went to remove the terminal from the cable (vise grip on the terminal to hold it) it was welded solid to the battery cable end. Back to the parts store for a new cable end (the full cable would have taken a long time to change) and this time one of them trusted me enough to hitch a ride to buy it. I cut the end off the cable, put the new one on and they were running again. They tried to pay me, but I told them to pay it forward to someone that needed it. Besides, I got more than money. I felt good about spending an hour of my time that meant far more to them than it did to me. [edit: They were about 40 miles away from their destination, where their husbands had a rented beach house.]

I lucked out with those 2 sets, they pretty much stay in my van at all times and I use them for most of the work I do. My 10mm ratcheting wrench broke and GearWrench replaced it with a photo of the broken ratcheting end, proof of purchase and an email - 10 days later they sent me a brand new 10mm ratcheting combination wrench AND it was the reversible version - an upgrade to the one in the set that I bought. I am a very happy customer! Thank you so much for buying all these tools and giving us your data!!
