I have a set of Gear Wrench from Sears. Last Christmas I was given a set of
Pittsburg gear wrenches from Harbor Freight. They look like they could have
been made in the same factory. I love them and use them every chance I get
and have not broken one yet. Don't remember what I paid for the Sears ones
but you could probably look it up on line.
