I have 2 sets of their ratcheting wrenches, have held up better than my snapon units or the craftsmans.....and that rachet has done wellhalligan said:I got one of those for Christmas, works pretty well so far, but I haven'tt abused it that much. Kind cool for tight spaces, otherwise I tend to use a normal ratchet.

Sheared the pin, went to HD and surprise, they don't carry breaker bars anymore. Best they could do was give me $20 back AFTER an hourlong ordeal w/ a manager. Went to Sears and bought one to replace it for $25.
Not all asian made stuff is that bad. I ususaly buy SK, but For air tools, IR stuff is damn good, and while my thunder gun is made here, most of htie rother stuff is made in china, but in an IR ownded plant. Husky quality isnt that bad, I avoid them at all costs though because I hate stanree and thier marketing.Tim84K10 said:Husky = not made in USA.
There are no tools that are available, made in USA, in my box, where I chose a foreign made one. If it's not made here, I don't buy it, unless there is no other option.
Y'all can keep your chinese shit, no offense, but I'm not interested in tools unless they're made here.
It doesn't matter. It could be the best tool on the market, and if it's not made in USA, and the inferior product is, I'll have the American tool every time.Kartracer55 said:Not all asian made stuff is that bad.

If you like craftsman pro ratchets, and your into big name tools, check out Matco. the insides are built to the same specs and use interchangeable components.Supergper said:and when you have to make a living using your tools you go for the stuff that will work everytime (reguardless of where it is made). I used to wrench for a living on boats and when your rachet (or whatever) busts on ya it can set you back quite a bit. I have a little of everything in my box, and I have broken several husky rachets, but I have also broken several of jsut about every other brand out there. The Craftsman professional series hold up the best for me. the other thing that pisses me of about Hucsky tools is that even though when you buy them the guys at HD say they will replace them on the spot, I have never had them replace a single one for me. they always have some BS reason for not doing it. They tried to offer me $5 for a 1/2" rachet![]()
