Just wanted to say I ordered another two sets of GearWrench ratchets and rebuild kits; one for my dad for father's day and one for a buddy.

Also, GearWrench (and a few other things) are on closeout at Lowes, I got an 8 piece X-beam ratchet-wrench set for $30. The sale has been going on for a while so your local Lowe's may be cleaned out already, but it's worth a stop.

Just go this from the Mac guy. Love it.

The mechanic friend of the family says it has its place but you can't direct the heat like you can with a torch. So he uses both.

I would have to talk with someone who has owned one before I would throw down for that.

This looks like it actually may be worth the $598.00 price tag:

Who makes this?

Lisle, Alltrade, etc etc

Its a common tool put I never use them for ball joints. I only use a hammer.

Just wanted to update this thread with first hand information that the Matco 88 tooth rebuild kits I bought are a direct swap into the GearWrench 60 tooth ratchets. So basically, I got a full set of 88 tooth ratchets for ~$130 with shipping. The difference is night and day as compared to Craftsman and I highly suggest this "swap" to anyone.

Part numbers are as follows.

Matco 88 tooth rebuild kits:
AFR8TK (1/4")
BFR8TK (3/8")
CFR8TK (1/2")

GearWrench 60 tooth ratchets:
81011 (1/4")
81211 (3/8")
81304 (1/2")

$20 for the vice Josh!

Also I got a really clean DeWalt random orbit palm snader with a bunch of pads and box for $15.

And a Valvoline Oil Filter wrench for $2

[Jand3rson]

Damn! So what'd you pay for the vice?

:D

Thought Id share a picture of my garage sale find today! $20!

It swivels on its base, and can even tilt to the side! I got all the mounting hardware too.
