Does anyone own any Dewalt hand tools I am a big fan of their power tools but I have’nt brought myself around to buy any hand tools. The only hand tool I own from them is a 36″ wrecker bar. Any opinions?
I have heard they are nice, but i dont know where you would buy them unless online, Lowes does not carry them and i dont think home depot does ether.
Their framing hammers, wrecking bars, and demo screwdrivers are nice. That’s all I’ve really used enough to have an opinion on though.
They sell a lot of the at Home Depot and Farm n Fleet…

I’ve seen a lifetime warranty tag on some of it. Don’t know if it applies to all of it though.

I have the dewalt tape measure and its eh. Just like a fat max but more expensive and probably wont buy another one, The head of the tape is just toooooo big!

At one time I had at least 10 tape measures. I’m down to 1 25′ Kobalt I’ve have for probably 10 years and it’s still ticking. The tip had a little play in it leading me to believe it may be a tad off. I checked it against the very expensive 4′ machinist rule (I inherited it) and it’s only about 1/32 off after a decade. That’s pretty damn good IMO.
Haha yes, unfortunately they are not that good now.
