I look at this and I can't find a reason not to buy Icon instead. I will say that Gray makes the finest 2 stage transmission jack that I have ever used.

[@davidmccallum7419]

Most of my auto mechanic tools are Gray and been using them for over 40 years

[@ridervfr2798]

The Grey sockets I own have a cute maple leaf stamped on them. They are 12 point 1/2 drive standard sizes. I use them every blue moon, but then again, I got them at a flea market.

[@jimhaines8370]

Gray family sold to some a group of younger people a few years ago saying they were going to put a force in to rebuilding the company and changed some things for sure. They have been sold here over the years kind of a try the US and then leave and come again and gone again. I have a standard 3/8 ratchets I got a number of years ago. Like many US companies they have expanded their line and now have many imported items. If you want a made in Canada tool you need to find out before buying not just the Gray in name only. My ratchet says Gray Canada on the tool as many products not are Taiwan made and stamped Gray only

[@djsi38t]

I can appreciate the position you are in here.These guys sent you their tools and really want you to say good things.I really like that you are honest about it and they are only going to get your opinion.Companies are taking a chance with you because you are not going to sell their product for them.I want to say to Dynamic tools that even though Jeff here isnt going to just do all he can to help you sell these...You still did the right thing asking for his opinion..

No that is Canadian prices. The bear isn’t excited about these tools but they will match Snap arse hands down. Guarantee identical to Snap arse. Had a 1/2 1/4” drive socket fail, walked into a gray dealer and five mins walked out with brand new socket and price wise able to buy multiple lunches with money saved over the purchase of one snappy. As for the shine, it’s just as good as others and if you want more break out the chrome polish and go at it

I bought a set of the Gray Tools brand smooth jaw plier wrenches off Amazon. Set included 10 inch and 7 inch wrenchs. They definitely weren't Stanley tool priced but they are great quality and stamped made in Germany. Really well made. I have the Icon brand as well. Anyway, that's my only experience with rhe Gray Tools brand but I really like them. Item numbers are B280B for the 10 inch size and B287B for the 7 inch if anyone is interested. Thanks for another great video!😊

[@paulmatteson9387]

The one thing that I see to support the Canadian-made Gray tools is that if I were Canadian, I would definitely pay a bit more for a quality indigenous product. Unless you hate your country, you should try to always buy from companies that will help you and your economy. As far as the value line, there are a lot of Taiwanese brands that are good enough. I would not pay a premium for foreign goods unless there is a quality/performance incentive.

[@dalepete2854]

I have a few gear wrench wrenches and at least where I live it sucks to replace you have to contact gear wrench send it in and they send you a new one I won’t buy anymore obviously if you are using it you needed it then not wait 2 weeks they have replaced with no problem but the wait

[@sirwallygator565]

Gray has been a big company in Canada for all of my 61 years. I own some of their tools dating back 40 years.. I would buy Gray before Snap-On stuff. There are tool truck in Ontario Canada that have Gray tools on them

[@iFixJunk]

I'm conflicted over twelve- and six-point box wrenches. My "EDC" tool bag includes a roll each of metric and SAE ratcheting twelve-point wrenches, and in the outside pocket, one six-point 10-mm and one six-point 1/2". 💁‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@TalkinTools]

Craftsman tried to do solely laser etched chrome sockets for a veryyyyyy short amount of time. The laser etching was gone on some of the more used sockets within a year or two. Shortly after trying just the laser etching they started stamping the sockets in conjunction with the laser etching. I'm not saying it can't be done better but I would never buy a tool with only a laser etched size marking on it.

[@jamesu]

I have owned a few “Gray” tools in the last 50 years but not marketed well in the USA previously.

[@alext8828]

Years ago I looked for some good drop lights. None available. Wanted to go to industrial quality. Stuff for oil well workers and bridge builders. Couldn't find a damn thing. This brand seems like the answer to industrial needs.

You should take calipers and measure the open end and compare to other brands.

[@markluxton3402]

I made the mistake of purchasing a tap and die kit from Grey. I remember my Grandfather, a mechanic and carpenter, commenting that Grey made good tools. I paid more than 4 times what the kit would have been worth had they been machined well at all. They sent a replacement but it was not much better. This SAE kit was identical to cheap $40 kits sold at local hardware stores...decades ago. Even the included information about drill bit sizes to use, is outdated. I sold both to a fellow who likes Grey tools, for half what I paid. He knew he was getting poorly machined/made tools. I found a tap and die kit of far superior quality and design, Maximum, in a metal case, titanium coated, SAE AND Metric, and more of the SAE than the Grey. The kit I got comes in plastic case now. I found mine in a pawn shop....I grabbed it quick, it was all unused and still sticky with the packing grease. This kit has bigger turning tools made with better metal, and a no slip hex design. Even new, with the plastic case, this Maximum brand kit, was half the price of the cheap SAE only, Grey kit. I got mine with a metal case for half price. As a Canadian, I was quite disappointed with Grey, and I do not own any of their tools.

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

Your on point brother bear 🐻. I’d like to share my thoughts on this topic later this evening 🙂🍻

[@Rehanna-iy7rj]

Oh, yeah, I want to get one

[@DDB168]

I hadn't heard of them and have never seen their products in Australia. I looked at their website and drilled down on a lot of the products. I was surprised that most are made in Taiwan, I was expecting some to be made in Canada, but that doesn't appear so. The price is high considering where they're made, and compared to Tekton and Icon.

[@carlosgaray9212]

A lot of SAE, the 70s called and want there tools back. Lmao I’ll check them out maybe the have metric. The angle? Where are they made? Canada I’ll buy them. Twain? I’ll keep shopping

Dynamic is Gray tool's "budget brand"...mostly Taiwan made, not bad stuff,i have a set of the sockets,and i like em...amazons goofy algorithms came through for me and all were bought at silly level discounts off the regular price..Gray tools themselves are another beast entirely,if you want to know why i have Gray ratchets and screwdrivers and dynamic sockets....have a look at the prices of the canadian made tools!!..snap on aint got nothing on gray in that dept...but they are well made things,and as a canadian i have a special place in my heart for tools that have CANADA stamped on them..but ohhh its mighty pricey stuff,the offshore sourced gray branded tools are often extremely nice as well..and priced accordingly...

Do you ever do anything with Wright tools ?

[@user-gn1pl1lp3u]

Any chance we could do a comparison between the "Pro-sumer" brands or at least these and Icon?

[@karenstein8261]

What do tool trucks, like any vendor, have To offer you? Don’t say “quality.” There’s no shortage of quality tools available. Such a selection you can plan your sets by color. Convenience? These days it’s hard to beat the internet / Amazon / UPS distribution model. Even remote places have the same availabilities as folks in big cities. Warranty service? Quality control has eliminated most claims - and an unbroken tool trumps a replacement tool every time. This leaves the niche of specialty tools. Yet our diverse manufacturing base prevents any one area from being dominated by one trade or industry, Face it: The tool truck model is obsolete.

[@glenngaugh8818]

When I bought my snap on bars back in the 1970s they were black and they were just as good as those ones that are shiny shiny and just as good as the ones you took out of the box we should stick with USA made tools Be a better idea to have craftsmen tool trucks driving around to dealers to sell US made tools

[@djsi38t]

Some of the tools are priced right with what tekton and gearwrench charges and some are almost at the level of Proto and Williams which is USA made...and anything to me that is from Taiwan and I can get proto for the same price...Sorry But it's going to be made in USA tools first..

I don't see these truck tool sellers being around in another 5 to 10 years they just cost way to much it's just common sense if you can buy 5 to their one well I like 5 and also a lifetime warranty yeah not even a debate!

[@streetjust]

Is their store showing Canadian dollar prices??

[@blackbird_actual]

I'd take Tekton over their offerings. Yes, we all know about Tekton's golden warranty, but imo a lot of the stuff shown on their Amazon page looked cheaply made, not just value-oriented. That may not be the case, but first impressions matter a lot. The knurling on their sockets is a plus if it actually catches the skin and isn't for show.

[@djsi38t]

Looks like Canadian prices for American dollars...Which is not good..Gray made in Canada are really nice tools and for some the price is justifiable.

[@richb2229]

A bit too pricey when compared to GearWrench or Capri. Even when compared to Williams.

​@floridadashcam Actually, the best tool is the tool that not only does the job well but also works well for the individual doing the job. That being said in my tool cabinet I have Skil, Craftsman, Husky, Ridgid, Hercules, Bauer, Warrior, Pittsburg, Pittsburg Pro, Icon, Quinn, Tool Dozer, No Names, and many, many, more. No I don't have a favorite and I've never been a fan boy. I get the best tool for the job and sometimes those are no name or lower end tools (I hate returning items so I am pick on the quality (no real reason other than I hate doing it at all)). Which is a large part of why I'm picky with my tools. Some are used occasionally, some rarely, and others are used often.
