You can see it in the picture (look at the two longest Phillips). I'm not sure if they're molded that way or just bent, but either way I'm very disappointed. Someone at Channellock doesn't care if his job goes to China. These were bought from Circle C Supply in Bazine, KS. I called them and they're sending out a replacement set, but if this is a manufacturing defect, and I think it is, I have no reason to expect the replacements to be any better. Circle C didn't sound happy about it but they didn't argue. Made in USA. It's the way it is with the USA acetate screwdrivers man, glad they're helping you out. It's kind of a crapshoot if you get decent ones. Husky and Craftsman are also USA acetate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordraw Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Saw this on "Toolguyd" and thought it looked like a good knife to have on the work bench and decided to order it from Amazon. Got it yesterday and it is a pretty cool knife for a cheap price that will be a nice addition to the garage work bench. I noticed after I ordered this one that they have a 125 year addition for a couple of bucks more that is the same knife with some special branding. I would have got that had I not got this one and still might. Anyway it's a nice little knife at a good price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwasifar Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Lookee lookee what I got today: You're probably thinking, so what? It's a basic angle grinder. But the thing is I have never owned one before, and for a stupid, stupid reason: I thought they were expensive. I had never priced one. This one was stupid cheap: $36 at Lowe's. I don't have a particular use for it right now but for that price it's nice to have it on hand. And it has a case, which is a big deal for me. Even if I burn this one out, I will have a box to put the next one in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip. I thought about getting those but I have three spring clamps and the other type of similar clamp by Irwin...and loads of locking pliers. At work I have a ton of them too. I always seem to misplace my levels so I buy them when I see a deal...then I find the one I lost. Honestly, as much as I dislike acetate screwdrivers, the Craftsman are pretty good...especially at the HF pricing this deal is at. The oddball is the stubby [which is a little long for a stubby (that's what she said)] screwdriver, it's a PH1, that should be pretty useful when the problem arises. I think they're made by Western Forge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might sell the replacement set of Channellock screwdrivers instead of opening them, and build a Craftsman set instead around these purchases to go in that custom rack I made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwasifar Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Today I picked up the things BMack pointed me to at Ace. I got the same USA screwdriver sets and USA framing square he did, plus these spring clamps: I adapted the screwdriver rack originally built to hold the Channelock screwdrivers to hold the Craftsman drivers instead: This means I'm not going to keep the Channellock set, for which a replacement is already on the way to me. If anyone's interested in a sealed new 10-piece set of USA Channellock acetate drivers, PM me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Keep forgetting to take a picture of mine, but i bought this recently from the giveaway on IG awhile back: it's 21" long to help give you perspective, it's a whole new type of wrench for me and i can see why it's popular in Europe. ..https://www.kctoolco.com/wiha-32972-2-6-s-jaw-pipe-wrench/ .. I like it better than a standard pipe wrench for many reasons! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a big one of those from Swanson, but I never had a little one like this. For three bucks it was a no-brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
