Not bad for $99.99 @ Northern tool, cranks and runs well and has much more power than the old briggs that was bogging in big logs. I think it's 6.5 hp? I saw it online for that price but the guys @ the store said it was $149.99. After showing them their online sale price they had to relent and seemed mad about it......I should of bought 2 :(

Great, Gearwrenches that I didn't even know existed, Now I had to buy a set to go in the trail tools kit...

Actually lets me get rid of one whole wrench roll, so well worth it...

Well damn....... I could not find these wrenches searching their website and figured the one I found was prolly $40 10 or 12 yrs ago when I found it. 2 for $40 is a bargain for their quality. Mine was obviously well used when I found it and very well made, the ratchets are still smooth and silky.......... These are my other favorite tools. The Titan smooth ratchets I got @ advance years ago and the snap on 3/8 wobble extension I found on the street!

I have one of the 3/8" smooth ratchets and it's one of my favorites! Great for those bolts/nuts that turn too easy for a normal ratchet, but too difficult to get to by hand.

Yep, it's small enough to get your hand into tight spaces and turn it and I've put a U joint and extension on it, or the Ujoint on the socket end of the extension more than a few times to quickly remove/install hard to reach bolts/nuts.

I'm sure that it was worth over $40 when you found it, I bought my first set of Gearwrenches in the 90's, (Metric, They were around $200 if I remember right) when they first showed up on the Snap-On trucks, And I still use that set regularly. When I first started looking for the one you posted, most places the set was around $90, The Interwebs have made finding bargain prices easy!

Mine showed up yesterday, and it still looks and feels like Gearwrench is making a quality product.
