wingless Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 IMO they look like a functional low-end tool set at a decent cost. They are sold at Harbor Freight Tools so coupons can help decrease the cost. Not something I would choose, but I have bought stuff from them and it has been fine.

wingless Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Why not go to Harbor Freight, examine for yourself and report to the forum? Posting images is also very useful, so feel free to share images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGENDZZZ Posted November 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 how do you check quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingless Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 For me, quality on hand tools, like screwdrivers, wrenches, ratchet wrenches and sockets is the ability to resist damage from normal and abusive usage. A free warranty replacement is also a good element to a quality tool. One example of infrequent abuse I have performed is sliding a pipe over a wrench to enable significantly greater torque application. My experience w/ low end tools is that they don't withstand abuse so I don't purchase or use those tools. My guess is that these Pittsburgh tools fall into that category, w/ the primary benefit being functionality at a low cost. Uncertain how to gauge quality prior to usage and potential failure.

wingless Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 IMO, Kobalt appears to be a step up from Pittsburgh. What is your impression on those different manufacturers when you examine their products? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric - TIA Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 There is also a lot to your personal impression. I like the feel of Dewalt drill handles while I have a buddy who prefers Milwaukee. So feel and comfort is important so you are always better off trying the tools before you buy. In regards to quality, it's hard to tell. If you are wrenching everyday, you will need to pay a little more and buy something for the long haul. However if you are just wrenching a couple of times a month, i am sure either one will suite your needs, again it's what feel better in your hand.

Mathew123 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 You could maybe look at other options. I have a DeWalt DWMT72166 Combination Wrench Set. I really like it. https://www.amazon.com/DeWalt-DWMT72166-Combination-Wrench-Piece/dp/B00FAE6F5U this is the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
