What sets GearWrench apart from the other foreign brands like craftsman, kobalt, stanley, etc?

I doubt you will find much difference in materials etc but I can tell you that I'm a heavy equipment mechanic and I have been using this set every day for 3 years. To date one of the cheapest and hands down best purchase I've made. 1/4" thru 1" and 6mm thru 19" all in a 3/8 drive is perfect for most jobs. You wont find anything off a tool truck even close to this value.

I would say that the quality of all of the current production in the listed brands are comparable. The older Craftsman tools, speaking of from the 70s and 80s, I have found to be tighter when new, and of better over all construction. The GearWrench tools are of respectable quality and are a good value, especially if you shop around and can find a good deal online.

Here's what I know: some parts are made overseas, most parts are made in the US, and the tools are assembled in the US. You should do your own research on this, but this is what I came up with and can't say for certain. Even if it is "mostly made in the USA", it is a quality tool that comes with an excellent warranty. I'm not dissapointed at all.

I am not familiar with the Craftsman set but am very happy with the Crescent set.

I used standard flare nut wrenches. Craftsman usually has a set of three with all the sizes and that is what I have. The manufacturer would probably be glad to answer the question also if you contacted them. Regards. My set worked great.

Hard to say. Some are unique to the original tool and others are generic and at a lower price. I found some on e-bay.

Chinese or Taiwan they work good though. Even some snap on stuff is Chinese and what not. It's very hard to find American made anything unless u buy 1960s tools

i only have a craftsman it is doubtful any other brand would fit being these batteries are not standardized.

Unknown, there are no country markings on the wrenches or the little caddy they came with. There may have been something on the package but that is long gone and I don't remember. I'd suspect China but could be USA. The appearance quality looks good like Snap On, but I can't speak about strength having used them infrequently. I'm happy with them.

Gearwrench tools carry a lifetime warranty. You can read the details at their website, gearwrench dot com slash warranty.

No comparison. The Northern Tool has a high quality American made pump. Check the components on the Harbor Freight. Get Serious! They're not even in the same league.

I saw some other GearWrench part numbers and they are from Taiwan. I have used this set quite a few times so far and have zero complaints. I have been working on my own cars, custom fabricating my own projects for over 20 years and this set is every bit as good as other tools that are made in the U.S.A. I would not hesitate to purchase additional products from GearWrench.

As far as I know, it's a big multi national eruo/asian pacific group .. so it's probably made where ever it can be made cheapest.. just like everything else... just cause it's assembled someplace doesn't mean parts are made there these days.. They also make Poulen and 12 other brands of tools.. I hate my 440E .. it has never been easy starting and the tooless chain tension is a joke.. I can't use mine and feel safe..

Since Craftsman is a Sears brand and they usually have other companies making their brands (e.g., Kenmore), suggest you check to see if it fits in your charger. I may be wrong, but it seems that every company who makes battery-operated electric tools has completely different batteries so you can only buy their batteries to use with their chargers. It also appears that WORX doesn't even sell these anymore. They have changed over to Lithium batteries which don't fit their older equipment and use different chargers.

I suggest contacting the tool truck operators (Snap-on, Mac or Matco) in your area to see if they can help you. If they carry or can supply Gearwrench tools they should be able to warranty the part you need.

All craftsman come with the lifetime warranty. Just take them to sears for the 1 for 1 swap if it breaks

They are made by Stanley which is an US company but not sure where the wrenches are actually made. Personally, they appear to be of good quality and are tempered to make them strong. When I use them, them don't twist or snap like the cheaper ones.

The set has 5/8" sockets and 1/2" but does not have a 1.5" socket. It's a great set for the price. Stanley used to make Craftsman tools but now this set and most tools with the exception of snap on tools are made in China.
