bob86 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Got myself another Britool tool chest last week. On the side of the box it said Stanley, Britool, Facom. So there's 2 other reasonable companies that might start to go downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Young Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I've got some old Britool BA spanners that are quality (certainly better than the King Dick ones I bought this last year -- although the King Dick BA sockets I got at the same time are high-quality). That's what's so annoying: you never know what you're going to get. I've got skads of Facom's red-handled screwdrivers. Most comfortable screwdriver I've used. They made a really nice hacksaw too, with a proper tensioner for the blade. I hope they don't go downhill. Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
