I picked up a box yesterday as well. I had been shopping around off and on for a while - this is a very nice mobile chest as far as I am concerned. Very sturdy and has a nice fit and finish (better than the Craftsman boxes I had been looking at and at a better price from what I recall on a ball bearing chest/box). And it matches the car LOL

Thanks Brian!

I need to buy like 3 12mm wrenches. For some reason that's the only one I lose.. and I lose it often!

I received my order on Tuesday. I haven't used them yet, but quality looks to be good. Their gear wrenches don't have as nice a feel as my "real" gear wrenches, but they feel stronger. My only complaint would be it took almost 2 weeks to get my order.

Bump. Anyone having problems like me?

2 of my gear wrenches will seize when loosening. I already got one replacement 15 mm because it was missing the direction selector ****. I guess its time to call them again...

my 12mm was acting kinda funny. i think it was just the sensitivity of the selector lever, not fully engaged.

im still pretty darn happy with them.

My order's finally complete- they forgot to send my SAE wrenches with the original package. I called, left a message explaining the problem, and they sent me a 15mm wrench (which I had to superglue the direction **** onto, because it fell off every time you turn the wrench upside down). I called again, and eventually got the rest of the order. Good tools, good prices, and the customer service was ok, if a bit slow- I ended up with everything I ordered, but the lack of communication when I encountered problems with the order was a bit worrisome .

wrong!!!

they are better!!!!!!!

I hate Snap-On geared wrenches with a passion. I am a tool ***** and have almost $27,000 in tools right now and I will tell you this, the Blackhawk geared wrenches are THE BEST you can find but these are not too far behind.

I am not a fan of most of the TOPTUL line up, I like mostly Matco and a few Snap-On and MAC tools. There are very few TOPTUL tools that catch my fancy but the geared wrenches are pretty decent, especially for the moey.

(but what do I know.....I own a huge Matco box full of Matco, MAC and Snap-On tools that I use every day of my life.....practically)

::EDIT::

Alright Chad, this socket set had better be worth it!!!

I don't want to have to be wasting my hard earned 21 bux on this stuff if it isn't going to hold up.

OK Chad, this is BS

I ordered a set of 1/2" drive sockets and not one but TWO of the freaking sockets broke on me.........I am PISSED

the 21mm and the 17mm socket broke on me. Completely ******* useless

first they sent my tools to the subway across the street by entering the wrong address but now two of the 14 sockets I bought broke.......I have only had the freakin set of sockets for three days.

DirtySol, that's bad news.

Especially since I told a buddy about this deal a few weeks ago and he went and laid down a couple hundred in metric sockets/ratchets. If it turns out the Toptul stuff is no better than Harbor Freight cr@p, he is going to be pissed. And now *I* look like an idiot for telling him how Toptul = affordable Snap-On.

Free replacement don't help when you're pulling a motor on Saturday afternoon.

Grandma always use to say, "You buy crap, you own crap." I hope Toptul ain't crap or more H-T folks are gonna feel cheated.
