![]() It takes a while at $30/week to pay off the sets. I still have a lot of Craftsman tools in my box, but have started changing them out for Snap-on as I can. Almost every tool maker makes their own version, but my Snap-on, Mac, and Matco dealers all carry actual Irwin/Peterson Vise grips on their trucks. He just bought a set (of actual vise grips) from the Matco dealer. I just went through this with one the tech next to me. I've been waiting for someone to say that. "Then there's Vise-Grip.No other 'locking plier' that I've seen comes close." It's your money, buy what you're comfortable with. I worked with a guy who used his SnapOn collection as collaterall to buy a Cat front end loader to use in his snow removal business. That $450 wrench set is only $45/year if amortised over 10 years, and you don't have that run across town to get the replacement. When you only have to buy them once and they last a lifetime I think it's money well spent. They are made by Dahner which I believe also makes some of the Craftsman Line. They seem to help keep the knucles blood free also.Īlso a fan of the Matco because I like the salesman. I also love my locking flex head ratchets. ![]() None the less they seem to be the cure for bloody knuckles.

Besides ya gotta have something to loan to the neighbors when they show up begging. ![]() ![]() All that Companion stuff is starting to over run the place. I still buy stuff at Sears but ya gotta watch em. Kobalt switched to China so fast I never saw any Made in USA though I'm told they were in the beginning. The older ones were USA, but now they are all China so that killed that for me. ![]() Much like the Jeep and Harley thing, If we have to explain you wouldn't understand. ![]()
