I can’t see the price of the carlyle. What is the question?

silverado79Member since Dec 2013Dec 9, 2014 11:10 PM CT

Carlyle is $87

MikevangoMember since Nov 2013Dec 9, 2014 11:44 PM CT

Are you asking why the carlyle are more expensive than sk? Carlyle tools are nice but they are over priced. You can get the sk set from tooltopia for $54

U wonder if they r the same quality, some times brands put it out a cheaper quality to lure u in.

I’d go with the SK set. Carlyle makes nice stuff and the line continues to impress me, but in this case the SK set is a no brainer.
