I'm still using the lifetime guaranteed Penncraft combination wrenches I bought in 1974 from J.C. Penneys. And I keep them in the Montgomery Ward roll around toolbox I bought in 1966. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

@tombob671 Жыл бұрын

I am 76 and I had some Powerkraft and Penncraft wrenches from the 60s and 70s. I have just given them and all my tools to my grandson. Lots of old Craftsman too, even a few Snap on (darn few). He just finished a hitch in the Marines and he is super happy. And so am I from the Old folks home.

The question is, if it IS broke, will they fix it? Don't get me wrong, I love those old school tools. And in the vast majority of situations, the US-made Craftsman Mechanic's Set (I think like 400-something piece, but a handful of them were allen keys and hex bits) that I got on a Black Friday deal for like $300, something like 10-15 years ago has been more than enough. Though I've added things like ratcheting wrenches, pliers wrench, Crescent auto-adjusting pipe wrench (that I've been particularly impressed with), and a ton of cordless powertools. All of those things are really nice to have, but for the most part, I can probably do it with the Craftsman set, it'll just take more time/effort/sanity/etc. But I think the Penny's Montgomery Ward brands are long-gone by now

I'm 74 years old. I use open end/ box end wrenches that were my fathers as well as tools I have bought. From cheap to expensive, few have ever failed me. The cheap ones I don't mind altering to fit a situation. The more expensive ones, such as Snapon, I find their smooth finish become very slippery with greasy hands. Flea markets, yard sales are the best place to find bargins on hand tools. Don't be afraid to buy a cheap hand tool.

I'm only 65, but I use Craftsman stuff, BECAUSE they aren't shiny and smooth. (And, been using them for over 60 years.) A couple friends and I were cleaning out one of their boats. I found a Craftsman 3/8 ratchet. I said, looks like a brand new ratchet. Next day, it was. (Oh, 1970s.) steve

You can order individual wrench’s from Harbor Freight. Not by online or in store but there is a customer service line which you do a phone order with. 2 weeks later you get your individual piece. I got one of these sets on the clearance rack locally cause it was missing a 15mm. A phone call and 15 bucks later I completed my set once delivered

The ICON wrenches are very good. For my application (heavy equipment) they are as good as Snap On all day long. But my gripe with the ICON line is the same... they don't sell individual replacements. However, when Harbor Freight replaces a broken wrench, they replace the entire set, and sometimes the store will have the remainder of the set stashed in the back room. So if you need a replacement, at least ask the store manager if they have a loose one available for purchase. I did this with a lost socket and got lucky... the guy just gave it to me because I shop there enough. It's worth a try.

They’re in California and in my experience really helpful and easy to deal with.

@oldunclemikewoodruff4463 Жыл бұрын

I have found that pawn shops are a good place to get tools. Most of them have bins full of single wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, etc. Most sell the tools by the pound, so you can get some quality tools for a good price. And if you use say a 9/16 socket often, you can just buy a dozen of them and not have to hunt for one when you need it.

@AT-wl9yq Жыл бұрын

I have the same wrenches in both Icon and SnapOn. They look the same but the metal Icon uses is very soft. When you push the Icon wrenches hard, they open up and slip. SnapOn won't open up. Whatever it is that you are working on either breaks free, or the wrench will snap. For light to middle weight work, the Icon is fine. But if you do a lot of heavy, abusive type of work, you need good wrenches. Otherwise, you'll be forced to use pipe wrenches or something similar every time you round off a nut or bolt with cheap tools.

I bought Icon wrenches back in January, but after two weeks of working with them 9, 10, 12 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week, I returned all of them and bought Mac Precision Torque wrenches. The Icons hurt my palms, and the open end would spread wide with moderately stuck tierod jam nuts. The Macs feel better and work better. Just my opinion.

I purchased my first set of Flankdrive plus SnapOn wrench sets 28 years ago. The 10-19mm set was about $250 back then and I was aghast at the price but since I was a full time technician I felt they would be worth it. Now, 28 years later I have numerous wrench sets from several different manufacturers but I will still grab the FlankDrives first. They’ve been worth every penny that I paid for them. The only other combination wrenches that are on par with them are the WrightGrip 2.0 wrenches. They feel great in the hand and grip equally as well as the SnapOn wrenches. They’re also made in the USA and are about $100 less a set than the FlankDrive Plus wrenches.

Imagine the DIY guy looking at a set of wrenches for say, $150. He's going to think "Nice set, but damn.....I can't see dropping that much right now." Where if HF offered single wrenches, the DIY guy could drop one or two in his cart every time he went there until he had a complete set. WAKE UP Harbor Freight!!

You do realize you're going to turn around and find the missing Icon wrench now, right? LOL! Always happens that way for me anyway. Years back when they just got started, I would buy wrench sets on sale & keep them in my various buildings so I wasn't always running back and forth. Never broke one even after hitting them with hammers. Some of their stuff was good & some not so much but they have gotten a lot better all around now IMO.

Same here! More than once I've "lost" a tool I simply can't work without so I panicked and ordered a replacement; before the new one arrives, the original turns up. BUT... like the other guy said, it doesn't hurt to have duplicates of some things. So now there's a drawer in the box dedicated to "backups" of the things I use daily that would cost me too much time in the event they did actually go bye-bye...

Fast forward ten years when we tore the front end down, we found them. Still together, and sticking through a small gap in the frame hidden under a control arm.

If anyone here was playing this game before Harbor Freight was cool (ha!), I have their V-groove Pittsburgh wrenches that I must have bought around 2010, in both metric and standard; the sets were sold separately, but if the metric set had 19mm the standard didn't have 3/4" (or vise-versa). I don't like that practice, although I interchange my 19mm Matco for my 3/4" Mac probably weekly at work, if not more. I just hate the skips in the sets. I see that Icon looks more complete, but that product line came along too late for me. I don't need it now.

That’s exactly the reason I haven’t bought any icon, or really any tool sets from harbor freight. Well there are two. The first being you can’t buy individual wrenches for warranty or just to purchase. If you break one you have to take the entire set back and they’ll give you a new set. Which is kind of a waste of time if the rest of the wrenches are still good. Second, I had bought a whole bunch of snap on stuff while I was in college with the student discount like a year or two before icon stuff came out. I think icon would probably sell more icon stuff if they could warranty an individual wrench or socket instead of returning the whole set.

The 19mm will substitute for the 3/4 nicely. The 21mm will substitute for the 13/16 as well. The 10mm will substitute for the 3/8 and the 8mm will substitute for the 5/16. Just a few tips one learns when working on vehicles.

Look on the roof. That's where I found my favorite framing hammer after it went missing for 3 years.

I always find the odd wrenches and such at pawn shops. Great place to look for old USA made tools.

You can call harbor freight and order individual sockets or wrenches, it’s dumb that you can’t walk in to a store and get it but are at least you can get it shipped out to you

Fit and feel for the best wrenches goes to snap on. However since these Icons are so close and such a much better price they win every time. I like em. I bought 3 set now. I don't use my Mac anymore hardly ever

FYI I've been told you can call up Harbor Freights customer service number, and they can order you an individual wrench if you lose one.

I know this video is older, but if you really wanna replace a singular piece of kit and you’re willing to spend some money, I’m fairly sure Harbor Freight will sell you one from their parts catalogue. I’ve seen the catalogue myself, the prices are pretty good. And I’m no mech

I have been replacing mine with Carlyle tools from NAPA. Lifetime warranty about 2 minutes away from me and they are good tools. They don't ask questions just replace the broken tool.

I don't know if its the same for you where your at, but the harbor freight where I live also sales the wrenches individually for that exact reason. They have the sets and the singles right next to each other. Same size and length.
