    I got some KYK chrome-vanadium wrenches... they work great.

    Ganyan po talaga mga die cast wrenches (even other brands).... Get the chrome-vanadium ones lalo na pag medyo high-torque yung gagamitan mo....

    I'm also tired of those broken die cast ones (i already broke a number of them as well)... kaya pag bumibili ako ng mga bago, di baleng mas mahal by 3x to 4x, basta sure akong mas matibay.

    they are chrome vanadium but apparently not drop forged so they're cast.... thanks for pointing that out i didn't notice it...

    Baka ganyan din ang tools sa Honda Casa.

    Nasasabugan na din ako ng KYK wrench. Always wear eye protection.

    ay sorry.... I forgot to mention drop forged chrome-vanadium nga dapat, not the die cast ones.

    The best brand of tools we have bought are Ridgid and Bosch. I have several KYK stuff and they work great. Be careful of imitations tho.

    If for long term use naman and you want to be sure na matibay, you might want to try Draper or Daikin, etc...

    kung kaya lang sana ng budget.... tsaka weekend DIYer lang naman ako eh...

    What's the diff between a die cast from a drop forged tool???

    I may sound like a fool but it looks like it's just a case of semantics to me...

    die cast...roughly analogous to pouring gelatin onto a mold and letting it solidify, although in this case, it uses a die/mold to form the shape though pressure.

    drop forged...uses the principle of forging to better align the metal grains for a tougher product with less weight.
