Rejected less than a year

We had it for almost a year and just broke. We use it regularly and for its intended purpose. I think a well made tool will last longer and I think next time I'll look for a better brand.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

does his job on wrenches

the same as a locking carriage about $10 cheaper. I wish someone would make one of these with finer teeth, even though the locking teeth are like 15 teeth so it takes a lot of jiggling to get to the next click

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • vulgarity

Great price for a quality product

This is identical to the same product but 4 times more expensive from Major Tool which has mobile shopping carts. When comparing, it turns out that the Red Label product is made by the same company as this one. Precise, healthy tool with a different color plastic overlay on the handle.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Hard to say

If you have haldex or 7/16 inch pants feel free to buy

leverage you need to push them back and the profile allows you to get it in tight spots, the price is perfect and it's the same tool you get on the truck, it's less than a year old and still works great, the only downside for this tool turned out to be on truck slip almost working properly for too long, it seems wanting to hit suspension components, brake drums or a hog.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • threadbare

Won't stay in place

I am ordering this tool to complete another 2 piece set they are selling which is amazing but this tool is a hassle to use as it has the Doesn't cover socket so it keeps falling off, I have to put my finger on the nut and twist with my other hand! It's too late for me to go back so I'll just leave it, but it's better to use a socket and what I think is an adjustable ratchet.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good

These are the tools you are looking for.

There's nothing like quality for the price here, and this tool is strong enough to get the job done without being made out of cheap materials that make it questionable in the middle of a project. They were bought for my significant other but I had to try them myself and it offered a very welcome cost savings over competitors that were available on the tool cart for so much more.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance

Oily structural steel. Must be modified for everyday use.

I'm a heavy equipment mechanic with over 20 years experience, I've just started working with trucks and I needed this tool. I've been using it almost every day for a week now. It is made of fairly soft steel and bends very easily. I'm going to run a bead around most of the edge of the tool to add stiffness. If it's still too soft I have some cement putty that I'll use to stiffen the outside of it. It frustrates me that the R&D department obviously came close to identifying a need and either…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
