Force-brand tools???

[TheOtherLeft]

Does anyone have any experience with Force Tools?

Force Tools Australia (http://www.forcetools.com.au/)

It's an Australian company and appears to be reasonably priced and appear to be involved mainly with automotive tools. Not cheap but not expensive. I'm just looking for some new hand tools and haven't heard much about them.

They appear to be sold through Trade Tools.

Thanks,
Ben

I was just talking to a guy yesterday that uses these to work on his semi's. He said he bought them through repco.
His view was they where good spanners, but not as good as sidchrome or snap on.

Thanks for that.

I realise they probably aren't as good as Sid or Snap On but the price of the Force is very reasonable compared to them.

I'm surprised they can be bought through Repco. I thought they only stocked the Repco & Mechpro brand.

FWIW I've found that they are manufacturered in Taiwan.

I really didn't take much notice when he said force brand as I have all the spanners/sockets I could ever use up to about 2inch/50mm, so had to think hard when you posted if that was the brand he mentioned and I am sure it was.
He said his brother worked there and he bought through them because of the discount. He was quite happy with the quality, but said if you where using them everyday for coin, you would be better of the others mentioned above (In his opinion)

I have got Taiwanese spanner that I bought when I was young and they are still going strong. They where the days when everybody was bad mouthing Taiwanese tools, but little did they know then the wave of Chinese tools would hit us and be worse. LOL
These will never be as good as my sidchrome, but most are standing up.
