wrenches

I think I have RAD... Just did a quick look and counted over 90 ratchets and didn't look in a couple of boxes.

Tekton tools is a pretty decent American made tool and is very decent priced. I have a couple pliers by them and they look and work well. An example of a set below.

I just ordered both the standard and metric sets of these, I hope they are as good as the reviews. I really wanted the J.H. Williams super combos but couldn't justify the $420 price difference.

Never used the wrenches, the pliers are fine.

The Meijer here in Lexington sells Tekton tools. It is interesting that both companies are headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, I wonder if there is a relationship?

Only 1 wrench, but today's pickup. The Ryobi bag is pretty neat with the bit storage.

Are you getting these at pawns shops?

Yes, this came from the same one as my $5.00 buy on Wednesday. By holding out for 2 days they came down $2.50 and threw in the knife.

I really need to start hitting the pawn shops around here.

That's a sweet ratchet, that new or older one?

Is this a gimmick or worth having? https://jet.com/product/detail/f43f...UtamZDKGkTuifPMIQJ4O1MRcMc6rQ_QuJgaAjED8P8HAQ

The site prices are jacked up they are about 60.00 on Harry Epstein tools http://www.harryepstein.com/index.php/catalogsearch/result/?q=armstrong+3/8 If they are now available ,which I aint sure they are.

That sounds more in line with what I remember paying, I might be paid less than that even.
