I don't think they have the quickset in 7" which is definitely something they should add. Also a great price, that's only $3 more than the normal non-comfort grip at the cheapest retailer. 1 hour left, if you don't have 10" cobras or you use the pair you already have a lot, buy these. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Quicksets are still fairly new. Im hoping knipex releases a 7" variety too. The only other size they offer is a 12" with vinyl grips. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SAE set is $34.99. Both sets are on sale at a manufacturers discount until December 31, 2016. The SAE set comes with a pouch vs the metric with a clip. I prefer the clip myself, but some like the pouch.

DR99 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I wanted the Gedore wrenches so bad on yesterdays deal. Those things looked like works of art. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really were. We don't usually do high dollar items on TOD's (margins can hurt if we sell more than a few), but this was such a cool set. Keep it in mind for the future. We only carry about 50,000 skus. We will get around to it someday again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I think it was the satin finish over the high polish that gives them a really nice look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 They looked awesome but I have a hard time buying them when I could get equivalent USA made sets for a similar price. They start winning a couple world wars and then we'll talk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC_Tool Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Gedore is really interesting. They prefer a more rugged (yet extremely high performance) look to their tools than some other german brands. They go with a more matte/satin finish a lot of the time. They don't build ugly tools by any stretch but they don't spend a lot of time making them fashionable (which is neither a good or a bad thing). Their focus is the application of the tool. In their catalog they talk about a preference for a matte finish over high gloss because of the potential for slippage with oily hands. I can appreciate that way of thinking even as a marketer/sales guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer industrial places aren't letting you use any chrome because it chips and cuts hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They turned us down about a year ago. We were ready to make a sizable monetary commitment. They weren't interested. Oh well... I can respect it. They seem like good folks. Hit them up directly, if you want, and tell them you would love to buy NWS from KC Tool. We would love to sell them. They are a great brand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crazy, they don't mind being sold by one of your much smaller competitors but wouldn't work with you. For the record, I like Knipex more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
