Last year a guy in the shop I was working at bought a set of Cornwell wrenches, tried them, but ended up not liking them, a personal preference. So he returned them, and bought an identical set of Snap-On wrenches, the Snap-on set was cheaper, not by much, but it was none the less.

Anyone ever used them? Alden's are open end wrenches that ratchet. I have seen them at acouple of independent parts store and on EBay. I have not used them, but have been tempted to give them a try. www.aldenwrench.netJoe

I am happy with my Craftsman hand tools,and a lot of others are happy with what ever brand they have chosen.Aint it nice that here in America,we have a choice of what to buy. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 85 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 85 | For me it was the cost of getting replacments.Napa is in town where I work.But the closest place to get craftsman replaced is 50 miles.Didn't want to spend $12.00 of gas to replace a 15.00 tool. | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 95 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2007 Posts: 95 | I wondered about Napa Tools. So i did some research http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/483466Seems to big one of those big umbrella corp's I hear you can order S/K thru your Napa. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Danaher is also the parent company of Matco Tools.
