/diy/ - Do It Yourself

They have a real fancy chrome finish too, they’re nice looking. And it’s part of the whole Packout system, the DeWalt extension set I just got for the GF’s dad is like that too so you can stack everything on one of their rolling boxes.

I can’t figure out why the Milwaukee tool bags cost $150 either, their levels are stupid expensive too. But I know whoever is manufacturing the tools is making them specifically for Milwaukee, so it’s not a Chinesium mold they used to make Pittsburgh stuff earlier that day. I guess $99 for that 3/8 socket set isn’t too bad, and that was a sale price, so maybe it will come down a little and that was mostly the R&D/ new lightning bolt hype to get the money while they can, some tools like their pliers aren’t cheap but also aren’t nearly as bad as the competition. At $150 for the set though, they might as well charge an extra $50 and have it manufactured in the US, and I would rather pay $200 for a US Milwaukee socket set than $150 for an Asian Milwaukee set.

Oh and the handles on the pliers are nice, that’s why I’m considering the 6” diagonal cutters from them. I know you can ream conduit with some part of those pliers, something sparkies might love. The bare part on the bottom is probably so they don’t get chewed up. I might try some of their screwdrivers too. Their stuff isn’t always the best, but everything I have used has been really good for Asian made Home Depot tools.
