Craftsman 230 Pc mechanics set - Amazon

Not gonna lie. I've been pretty impressed with my Pittsburg tools from Harbor Freight over the years. They aren't your classic USA Craftsman for sure, but IMHO they are better and cheaper than the current Chinese Craftsman.


Edit to add:
If I'm gonna get Chinese tools, I want to pay Chinese prices.. LOL

I have a Pittsburg 24” breaker bar that’s great, but I also have a set of Harbor Freight flare nut wrenches that should have “-ish” after the numbers. I bought them because my dad needed some metric flare nut wrenches for one project, but looking at the way they fit, I think they’d run a close second to Vise-Grips in the “rounding that son of a buck right off” category.

I got a set of HF Pittsburgh wrenches for cheap.
First time I used them, it was supposed to be a 10mm bolt.
That quote/unquote 10mm Pittsburgh wrench was as loose as a politician's ethics.
It's funny that the other wrenches seemed to be O.K. though.

And THANK YOU to the OP for posting this deal.

Sorry to all the folks who didn't get some lagniappe (a little something extra) with their order.

I was in ours looking and saw a set of flex head ratcheting wrenches and thought dang these feel nice. Looked at the price and they were well over $100 for the set. Don't remember what it was but wasn't Pittsburgh. HF definitely is expanding the line upscale. Hope they don't get too fancy, I went there for cheap, not nice.

Pretty entertaining reading this thread.

I have read that sometimes Lowe's will swap them but usually you email and they ship you a new one. Have to provide pic of broken tool. I never break any tools so I don't worry about it.

If Lowe’s has it in stock you can swap at the store. I’ve exchanged a few over the past year.
