FerTheHandyman Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Does anyone own any Dewalt hand tools I am a big fan of their power tools but I have'nt brought myself around to buy any hand tools. The only hand tool I own from them is a 36" wrecker bar. Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have heard they are nice, but i dont know where you would buy them unless online, Lowes does not carry them and i dont think home depot does ether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Their framing hammers, wrecking bars, and demo screwdrivers are nice. That's all I've really used enough to have an opinion on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 What is there warranty like? I've seen a lifetime warranty tag on some of it. Don't know if it applies to all of it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yeah my kobalt stainless steel is pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah my kobalt stainless steel is pretty nice. At one time I had at least 10 tape measures. I'm down to 1 25' Kobalt I've have for probably 10 years and it's still ticking. The tip had a little play in it leading me to believe it may be a tad off. I checked it against the very expensive 4' machinist rule (I inherited it) and it's only about 1/32 off after a decade. That's pretty damn good IMO.
