If I've ever used it I don't remember it. Looks like something you could damage yourself with. It was the NAPA tool truck. The brand I saw in there was NAPA Carlyle. Picked up a neat wire terminal crimper. Smaller than the ones I have and should be able to get in tight spots easier than my big Klein and Gardner-Bender. And the great thing... a 13 year old boy was in there with his grandpa getting his first socket set!👨🔧👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike6024 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I remember my dad had bought a Craftsman version of that at Sears. He, or we, used it very little. It would fit something like anything from 3/8 to 3/4, all in a single wrench, metric or standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry, if you mechanic is using that tool, he doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of fixing the car. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Correction: it fits 3/8 to 13/15. As can be seen nutz are stronger than the tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwellens Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I took a SO test gauge that stopped working and the SO guy said it would have to be sent back to the factory for replacement. That was a couple years ago, factory still has it. I have had SO open end wrenches break. I will stick with Craftsman and SK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's past time to bend his ear or put even more pressure on him to get it back to you, repaired properly, or replace it with new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
