What new tools have you got lately?

Just got these since I have no roof rack. They work pretty good.

I could have bought the cheaper version of Pittsburgh, but I have 1 application where I need a long 10mm and I'm boogie and want matching sets

I like pittsburg, but after using gearwrench, I don't wanna change. No complaints.

In my line of work the gear wrenches do not last. Dirt and water is their enemy. If kept greasy and dry, I think they are great!

Same, all my ratcheting wrenches are Gearwrench and I love them. One thing I've noticed about cheaper wrenches is they get thicker the cheaper they are and they won't fit in alot of places like a quality wrench will

I have four sets of ratcheting wrenches GearWrench fixed head, Icon flex head, Pittsburgh flex head, and recently picked up a set of Vevor flex head. The Icon set is my favorite overall. I've had a few GearWrench flex-head wrenches where the pivot joint eventually gets loose, which has been disappointing. The Pittsburgh and Vevor seem to be about the same quality so far. One thing I like about the Vevor set is that it goes all the way up to 3/4" and 19mm without skipping sizes. Oh and I've got a few mastercraft ones from menards that I've used and broke and waranteed without issue.

And that part right there is why I don't actively recommend them. Gearwrench brand used to have slimmer heads that fit more places. Then they cheapened them and they got fatter. I have not noticed an improvement in durability. Just that they don't fit as many places as they did before.

The only others I have experience with is Snap-On and Craftsman. Both were nice and work well. But of course Snap-On is more $$$ and the specific Craftsman wrenches were at the tail end of Sears. I'm guessing the newer Craftsman equivalent might be crap like their ratchets.

Size comparison between the vevor and an older gearwrench.

The Craftsman V-Series stuff is a lot of Facom/USAG rebranded stuff, which happens to be the same as Mac (some minor differences here and there). All under the Stanley Black and Decker conglomerate.

I haven’t used any of them, but Facom is typically well regarded. Some of DeWalts hand tools are/were Facom/USAG too.

I have been known to take a fat, cheap wrench and grind it down thinner for whatever I need to get in between.
