This pisses me off. I've bought a bunch of their pliers and really like most of them. I for one won't be buying them anymore. Now if I manage to break one they're going to give me a china made replacement. If anyone wants to send them feedback here's their page http://www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/contactUs.jhtml I sent them a letter myself. John |

My first tool set was made in China, broke almost every tool in the kit, the ratchet broke in a matter of a couple days, i bent some of the crescent wrenches, and snapped a ton of the allen wrenches. After that, i went and bought i nice set of Craftsman tools on black friday and haven't regret spending that money at all. The best tools are made here in the US, no doubt in my mind. The only tools to buy now are Lowes' Kobalt and Sears Craftsman.
I don't know of any foreign tool company that gives a hassle-free lifetime warranty on any of there tools. My kobalt ratchet broke, walked in to lowes and they gave me a new one, took ten minutes, maybe!! A warranty like that doesn't come with foreign CRAP!!! |
