I got a set of Gearwrench SAE and metric S and Halfmoon wrenches a while ago, so for Christmas I decided to fill out my collection with reversible combination wrenches (half off at Sears!).

I kind of had a thought while I was looking at them, sooo purrtty in their puurrttyy little plastic cases, that the case and the wrench don't say USA anywhere on them. I always assumed, due to their reputation, following and price, that they were American made, but nope, they're all made in China. At least the ones I have.

The other thing I noticed was the "we replace tools only at our discretion" disclaimer next to their "guaranteed for life" icon.

But by now I'm too committed to buying them than to fill out my assortment with anything else...

So, was I wrong in buying Gearwrenches instead of the Snap-On or whoever elses' equivalent?

 

gear wrenches are way way better than crapsman ratcheting wrenches because you have to turn the crapsman 1/4 turn to get it to click , it completely negates the entire purpose of using a ratcheting wrench from my experience

 

i use mine all day everyday..out national tool dealer has always took em back when they lock up...i make my livin with em and i love em

 

I use them at work and they last quite a while. I just throw them away and buy new ones when they break. Or my company buys new ones. It's just a pain to go to Sears to warrant them and they never have one of the size i need replaced.

 

Great wrenches

 

I got some good wrenches but 99% of mine are mac tools or matco

 

i have had good luck with them. just dont torque to hard on the smaller ones

 

i have used the crap out of them and havent had a problem with them at all. i use them more than i use my snap on wrenches

 

i love mine mostly use my snappy wrenches

 

Snap on and Matco. Wrenches. I have one gear wrench 9/16. it always reverses itself in any direction when using it. But i like the ergonomics of the wrench, i use it when my open ended snap=on wrench won't work. The snap=on's open end flexes to much.
