Watched the video for the wrenches, they look great and I may have to pick them up. But that little wire tool you have is my go-to for most all stripping and crimping applications. Very compact, very precise. My brother showed me his very similar snap-on before my purchase and was sold. I have used both and while the snap-on is of higher quality, I bought the Carlyle on sale for less than half the price. Nothing but happy with them
I have a few Carlyle wrenches. Very affordable as well. No complaints here. That is a really nice set. The stuff I work on Ditch Witch is about 50/50 Sae and Metric. I also have John Deere hand tools from when I worked for Deere. They are great quality as well. I have Three sae sets and three metric. Very good tools. My main stuff is Snap on. My service truck has all wright stuff. No complaints on them either. Just love tools and you can never have to many. Great video.
Mark Fox our engines are 95% metric. Cummins, Deutz, lister petter, honda, Deere, kubota, yanmar. But most all of frame components and all other fasteners are sae. Its goofy.
From what I've seen in reviews, Carlyle and Wright are a great substitute for Snap-On wrenches. I own all three brands, I notice very little difference in all three brands. I am not a fan of paying $560 for a set of wrenches not that snappy is bad it's just way over priced for their wrenches and for what it is.
I just this week as of 9/16/17 bought a very nice set cw613m on sale for 89.99 6 point wrenches 13 pc they are great tools those Carlyle. I'm waiting for the sae to go on sale. Great post sir
Wright Tools is still my favorite tool company, they are local to me and last year they gave me a personal tour and let me take photo's inside as well. th-cam.com/video/nnrRUQFZeAw/w-d-xo.html These Carlyle models are longer then my Wrights and the extra reach and leverage might help out.
Hi again sir, I am very happy with my Carlyle wrenches, believe it or not my go to ratchet is the Craftsman 1/4 inch made over seas it just feels good in my hand
Ha ha, Carlyle starting to catch on! I’ve been using them since they came out, and I have Snap-On, Cornwell, Matco, SK, Wright, etc.... tools also. They are pro grade, right up there. My primary ratcheting wrenches are Carlyle. I’ve broken loose rusted bolts with the Carlyle open ends. Wright still my favorite for non-ratcheting. But yeah, you gotta love the length of those long pattern Carlyles.
It's a new open end design, I've personally seen them when I toured the factory a year ago. th-cam.com/video/nnrRUQFZeAw/w-d-xo.html I just posted on their FB page this morning asking when they would be available, was originally suppose to be available Jan this year facebook.com/WrightToolCompany/
Mark Fox thanks bro. Always enjoy your videos. Getting caught up after a TH-cam hiatus. Kicking myself for missing the Carlyle super sales! Really dig your newer tool box setup and the layout too. 👍
Nice tools. You could plate them in gold and some Snap-On junkies would tell you they were junk. Snap-On is the only tool that can replace an alternator more than once without breaking. 🤪
Thanks for the video. It would be helpful if you would draw some distinction between the two 72-tooth flex head ratchets, with the difference being locking vs. non-locking. Are you finding it beneficial to own both of them? What situations would you use one of them over the other? After a couple of years since the video, has one of them emerged as a go-to flex head ratchet over the other? I recently purchased some Carlyle ratchets, and I've been considering purchasing more of them. There's enough to choose from in the Carlyle catalog that I can't just go out and purchase the entire selection available. Any information would be appreciated.
I like the design of the open end on those Carlyle wrenches. I know Cornwell tools and now Milwaukee have a set as well. When I can get around to buying me a set to replace my older Craftsman combo wrenches the Carlyle will be my first choice. Cornwell doesn’t have a rep in my area and I’d have to order the Milwaukee set as well. The NAPA store is local. I have the Carlyle 1/2” Drive swivel head ratchet for suspension stuff. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but NAPA has it on sale pert near half price through online purchase only so I took advantage of it. I enjoyed your Carlyle tool review, no doubt my Carlyle collection will be expanding as well. Keep up the great work.
the shop where i work, we have a carlyle tool rep that comes every monday and the cornwell truck comes every other tuesday. the snap on truck just drives on by. there's a napa in town, but i guess we're just lucky.
These and Milwaukee have been the best TH-cam unboxing. I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LOVE THE CANVAS WRAP!!! Milwaukee has an almost identical open end as well as Icon but they're a ways off pro grade yet. So do you get milwaukee or this as an c class tech for your first set?
@@MarkFox TTI is a Hong Kong founded company. Pretty seperate to China. Being that I ported there in the Navy before china tried to seize it again. Lifetime warranty on their hand tools AND, you need to educate yourself, because TTI is putting Milwaukee factories in Mississippi (in addeition to what is already down there) and Wisconsin before 2022. Also, if this is your philosophy on tools, then I'll take anything Ryobi, Rigid, Hoover, Hart, Oreck or empire products you own. I have never heard someone say they wouldn't consider buying Milwaukee because it not US made. It's still quality, pro grade tools.
Great video, have you heard Capri tools from Taiwan they make the same style open end Wrench as the channel lock, Carlyle, Milwaukee metric 8-19 part # 11500RK with a 100 position ratcheting box end with lifetime warranty. I wonder if they come from the same factory.
Wow those look really nice! I did find them on Amazon www.amazon.com/Capri-Tools-Ratcheting-3-6-Degree-Convenient/dp/B074JGWT1C/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1513531763&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=capri+tools+ratchet+wrenches&psc=1
Great tool presentation on your Carlyle tools. I like the aggressive teeth on box and open end of the wrenches. I had mine for about a year with no problem. I would like to try out those Carlyle sockets are they as heavy as the snap on chrome sockets?
I didn't weight them and I sold all my Snap On sockets about 4 years ago so I can't compare them. At my local Napa the sell single sockets, maybe you can purchase just one in a commonly used size to try out.
Keep receipt in box so you always have it. Do they make a anti slip 36? I have 1 1/16 and 1 ⅛ in the anti slip design. I'm still looking at the spg international boxes as well would love all the space like yours
I'm not sure if the offer a 36mm with anti-slip design, it's not a problem for me in that size though because I only use it to remove motorcycle rear axles and always use the box end.
No argument here, ive been told that about a few brands, CASE IH being another, nevertheless all three are beautiful and lifetime guaranteed. then again, when i was 16i Santa Clause brought me a huge Craftsman ratchet and socket set and while organizing them i found sockets bearing the craftsman, mac, snap-on, and other names.
What ever company makes the “Channellock” branded exact same wrench, makes the Carlyle. I have had the Channellock brand for a while now, they look like the exact same wrench.
Anybody that would pay over $200 for a set of Tiawan wrenches is supporting NAPA's sick markups on rebadged tools. Carlyle doesn't make anything, it's all rebranded anyway.
I don't have a NAPA account.You have to watch theRealDeal quarterly sales. The current (2nd Qtr 2019) admittedly really sucks but he 1st Qtr 2019 sales were really good! realdeals.napaecatalog.com/Real-Deals-2Q-2019/1/
I didn't even know Hyper Tough had wrench sets available www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tough-15-Piece-Combination-Wrench-Set-Metric/423637247 For $17.44 how could you go wrong?
All of them are GREAT tools. The wire pliers have really become dear to my heart. Got them on me 14 to 16 hours a day.
Man those are nice wrenchs.
Watched the video for the wrenches, they look great and I may have to pick them up. But that little wire tool you have is my go-to for most all stripping and crimping applications.

I have a few Carlyle wrenches. Very affordable as well. No complaints here. That is a really nice set. The stuff I work on Ditch Witch is about 50/50 Sae and Metric. I also have John Deere hand tools from when I worked for Deere. They are great quality as well. I have Three sae sets and three metric. Very good tools. My main stuff is Snap on. My service truck has all wright stuff. No complaints on them either. Just love tools and you can never have to many. Great video.
Thats interesting Ditch Witch uses a mix of fasteners. Most outdoor power equipment seems to use SAE sized fasteners as well.
Thanks for watching!
Mark Fox our engines are 95% metric. Cummins, Deutz, lister petter, honda, Deere, kubota, yanmar. But most all of frame components and all other fasteners are sae. Its goofy.
Very nice set. Yes u always go big Mark. I like how the open ends are on them.
I think these will turn out to be one of my best purchases.

Nice haul! I really like the Carlyle stuff.
Thank you, I'm becoming a big fan of Carlyle tools myself now.
I just this week as of 9/16/17 bought a very nice set cw613m on sale for 89.99 6 point wrenches 13 pc they are great tools those Carlyle. I'm waiting for the sae to go on sale. Great post sir
Thank you!
I can remember when wrench sets commonly came in full sets like this. Not just ending in 19mm or 7/8th.
I like that round head ratchet.
I have 2 Wright sets in the exact same sizes, I do prefer the full sets myself.
Mark Fox wright was my 2nd choice for wrenches. This sale is what had me get the Carlyle instead
Wright Tools is still my favorite tool company, they are local to me and last year they gave me a personal tour and let me take photo's inside as well. th-cam.com/video/nnrRUQFZeAw/w-d-xo.html
These Carlyle models are longer then my Wrights and the extra reach and leverage might help out.
Mark Fox
I sent someone a link to that video the week before last, in fact.👍
The swivel-head Carlyle is identical to the Cornwell and Mac swivel head for much less $$. 100 tooth.
Thanks for the video, looks like a great looking set. Looks like an invasion of the Carlyle wrenches hitting TH-cam.
Thanks for watching! Just made about a $500 purchase in more Carlyle tools, look for another video in the next week.
Hi again sir, I am very happy with my Carlyle wrenches, believe it or not my go to ratchet is the Craftsman 1/4 inch made over seas it just feels good in my hand
Mist be one of the higher tooth count model Craftsman? I've never used one myself.
Nice wrenches brother. Wish I would have gotten that need all the sizes 20/24 now

Wright tool is my favorite tool company and the WrightGrip 2.0 version of wrenches should be out soon.
Mark Fox WrightGrip 2.0? What are they changing from the 1.0?
It's a new open end design, I've personally seen them when I toured the factory a year ago.

They have different stuff on sale now with the 4th quarter flier being available now. A few things are already on the shopping list...
I like Carlyle tools but I've given up on them. I don't have a Napa store near me & it seems impossible to find anything online. So frustrating!
I agree the NAPA website mostly sucks, kinda frustrating that some items are "Not available for home delivery" why the Hell not??
@@MarkFox Guess I'll stick with gearwrench for now.
I google Napa real deals
Mark Fox what do you think of the Carlyle 100 tooth ratchets.
Carlyle's deadblow hammers are rebranded Trusty Cook hammers.Trusty Cook makes them for Napa with the Carlyle name on them
Very true! Trusty cook also makes Cornwell and Matco deadblows.
Awesome Video brother. Great Wrench Set!
I love these things and I'm sure you will as well.
Nice tools. You could plate them in gold and some Snap-On junkies would tell you they were junk. Snap-On is the only tool that can replace an alternator more than once without breaking. 🤪
I have never heard that with replacing alternators.
I just got a set . Pictures was the non slip models . I got the regular ones I'm not happy
So take them back and exchange them.
@@MarkFox Im going to try . I ordered them online and they were shipped to my house
I’d be pissed
Wow, I got to take a look into Carlyle....
It's good stuff for sure, lots of good sales at NAPA as well.

Yes I think it's benifical to own both locking and non-locking fllexheads, there are times when each outshine the other.

The font for the size of the wrench looks identical to the blue point wrenches... maybe they are made in the same factory?
Not sure of what factory they are made in but they do have many differences compared to the Blue Point Models
Far inferior to Blue Point

I bought channellock same exact as Carlyle
Can you get the Channellocks in sizes larger then 19mm? I do have a Carlyle 36mm combo wrench.
It's been 6 years, how are they holding? Any break?
I have cancer now and sold them last year, they were still holding up great!
Thank you sir. Have good recovery.
Great video Mark!
Thanks Tom! Looking forward to you dropping that fresh motor in your car.
Where are these made? Thanks
Taiwan
Do the Carlyle come pre lubed?
Yes, the latest 3/8"P90 ratchet I purchased was factory pre-lubed
Cant afford tool trucks or sk.
I went with Carlyle.
i have several Carlyle sets, my NAPA guy says that they are made by snap-on
NOT manufactured by SnapOn, that I'm sure of............................

Just like Matco but at much better pricing.
@@MarkFox For those of us that don't have an account at NAPA I disgree about the prices being sooooo good
@@MarkFox I can buy Wright, Proto, Williams, or SK for a little more and support AMERICAN jobs.
And by bank account will not be raped by NAPA or the tool trucks!
I don't have a NAPA account.You have to watch theRealDeal quarterly sales. The current (2nd Qtr 2019) admittedly really sucks but he 1st Qtr 2019 sales were really good! realdeals.napaecatalog.com/Real-Deals-2Q-2019/1/
The only thing that would make Carlyle perfect is if they were made in the USA.
The price has increased 3 times what they use to be.
@@MarkFox the price of Carlyle tools or having any tools made in the USA?
Taiwan ?
Yes Sir!
Carlyle pro tools. Because if you cant turn a 916 nut with a hyper tough wrench, then your not a pro
I didn't even know Hyper Tough had wrench sets available www.walmart.com/ip/Hyper-Tough-15-Piece-Combination-Wrench-Set-Metric/423637247
For $17.44 how could you go wrong?
They have those in 6pt box end?
No but they are available in 6pt box end. The Carlyle ratcheting wrenches are also 6pt on the box end.
Mark Fox they have the wrenches in 6pt or no? Are or arent? Idk what u ment there. Not looking for ratcheting wrenches
Yes, they make 6PT regular combination wrenches www.napaonline.com/p/CHQCW613M
5 years later it’s $320!! S
Yeah, today they are not the same value for sure..
lol my name carlyle
Gearwrench is now made in china
GearWrench has always had a mix of made in China/Taiwan but seem to favor China today.
