Aus, the best way I have found to use the T handles (Torx and Hex or Triple square) is to make, or purchase, a wooden rack and mount it to the wall by your box. I agree with you that they take up way to much space in a drawer ; also you will find that you will use them Much more if they are conveniently mounted for quick access. Thanks again for the Update!
Sunex is some top end stuff dont knock it i have some 25 year old sunex impact sets that are still the shit!!! I just assumed your in WA state cause of the Seahawks coleres in your shop LOL Im in Lake Tapps Area myself.
They are decent, but there are better options. Price wise, they have been one of the best options. Did you catch my “Taiwan” reference? They have recently moved much if not all of their production to China, so we will see if they continue to be good value for the money.
Gonna have to get online and checkout Lowes now... I have the regular standard combo wrenches in mm and they've been handy just cuz they're more like a mid-length compared to my Mac Precision Torques. T'was gonna nab me some of those overdrive CM wrenches but came across a pretty good deal on some of the Mac RBRT wrenches, but MdLee has the overdrives and he can't stop talking about them.
Skips are due mainly to the price and where they got the tools. Most of the V line is rebranded Facom/USAG. Those Stanley brands are mainly sold in Europe, they are high quality not cheap at all. But why complain, at those prices there is nothing to complain about. Take advantage of the low prices. Craftsman is probably going to fix the line and improve the sizing.
Couldn’t disagree more on the ratchets. The mechanisms are tight and smooth, and the ratchets are solid. My one complaint is the handles on the 1/4” and 3/8” could be a little longer, and I would have liked to see the set go with a bit more length on the 1/4” and 3/8”. The 1/4” is 9” long, the 3/8” is 14” long, and the 1/2” is 17” long. On the backdrag, my 1/4” and 3/8” have very little. The 1/2” has quite a bit, but, in use, it’s been a non-factor. And the skips on the wrenches aren’t a big deal at this price point. For most people, the only one they will really miss is the 15. To a lesser extent, the 16. With the money they will save, they can buy an individual in any brand and still come out ahead.
@@asmautollcpeople just want to complain about craftsman. The standard they have for the brand is higher for some reason. Nothing but perfection at a cheap price 😂. For the price these are moving it's just ridiculous to complain.
i cleaned Federal Way wa LOWES i now own every ratchet, socket, set scredrivers, double box ends, combination wrench set ratcheting LOL I OWN all of thanks IDIOTs at LOWES. IM a huge OLD school V and VV - G series guy but this new V series is nice, do yourself a favor and submerge your sealed ratchets in some gear oil and run them with a drill chuck to get some lube into them, they will lube i assure you- it goes in through the forward reverse selector. You must be in WA you talk like an intelligent Washingtonian like myself, although my grammar sucks. LOL V series at a discount is must buy. Yeah i bought the 4 piece ratchet set and the 3 piece long set and the 3 piece long comfort grip. LOL Federal way Lowes still has a lot of ratchets like at least 20 of the flex head 1/2 drive ratchets and a ton of the 3/8 flex heads they are all $20 each Im going to nab some more Today. Get the srewdriver -bit driver combo as well its 20 bucks couple in Fed Way as well. I got those screwdrivers from Falcom they are pretty nice- stamped made in France LOLI had already picked up the 3/8 & 1/2 drive metric and SAE long socket sets few years ago so i was set on those
@@AlexJonesWasRight1776 I wouldn’t call them idiots. The V Series weren’t selling how they’d hoped, so they figured out how to get them into people’s hands and create some positive marketing buzz for Craftsman. I think the real key to bringing Craftsman back back is the Made in USA label. Hopefully Stanley gives it another go and figures it out with better economics around it.
@@asmautollc that's exactly what's going on, getting them in people's hands. The reaction has been overwhelmingly positive so far. They need to fix the issues and improve the pricing to match it's closest competition (HF, tekton). I'm convinced that's what they're doing, reduce old inventory and release the new stuff in 2025.

cool haul! thanks for craftsman professional/sk wrench tip... i often wondered the whos/who on maker
Really nice haul...
Great tools 👍
You can't beat those v series prices. I picked up those same wrench sets and I am thinking about going back for some ratchets
Do it. I picked up the long flex head ratchet set. Totally worth it, they are really nice.
THIS CONTENT IS KILLER I KEEP WATCHING AND KEEP COMMENTING LOL
Id call V series the SK that SK should be now but is not.
Agreed. I hope SK and Craftsman both onshore again.

They are nice tools, bought the 3 piece ratchet set. But what's with all the skips in the wrench sets!? So annoying!

To many skips and ratchets are horrible with way to much backdrag
