I wouldnt touch Canadian Tire with your drill.

I tried to get a lifetime replacement thing there once and they told me “Well yes its lifetime replacement now, but how do we know it was lifetime replacement when YOU bought it?”

Princess I have never had an issue with.

That's true, most times a set can be had for $20-30 on sale. I went that way initially. The issue with PA sockets is I have to pry them off the M12 1/2" friction ring impact. The coating doesn't stop rust very well, the sizes are almost impossible to read on most of them now. They are quite low quality IMO. Gets annoying after a while. No experience with the CT sets. The Milwaukee thin wall makes them a little better for accessibility, but more fragile for the higher strength impact wrenches.

Down vote all you want, but it should not be a struggle to work with tools. Sometimes quality makes a difference that compensates for a higher price, in lessened frustration while working with them.

Never had an issue at crappy tire with replacing any hand tools (sockets, ratchets, screwdrivers, etc..). Take them to service counter, they ask you to go get replacements, and they punch it up as a $0 sale. But many things at crappy tire are very dependant on location.
My location I have no issue with tool replacements, but when it comes to price matching, it is like pulling teeth. It's like it is coming out of the employees paycheck. They absolutely refuse to price match any Auto Parts stores. Not even Napa advertised prices in their flyers.

If you are buying tools to use every day in your trade, spend the extra money and get good quality. Time is money also. But for the DIY warrior that will use them 2 or 3 times a year, then you can probably live with the occasional frustration or awkward cheaper tool.

My local one once told my neighbour, when his 2-3 week old battery FROZE and the car wouldnt start, he should “bring your battery into the house on cold nights”. It was maybe -8 or so the night it froze. In Southwestern Ontario.

Lol.. I would not trust crappy tire with any mechanical work. Not even an oil change or even a tire swap. Advice from them.. ya right. I think Siri, Alexa and google could give you better advice.

Batteries need to be charged or they will freeze. I learned the hard way.

I've been successful at claiming warranty on my CT tools thus far. It usually helps to keep the bill though and now I just scan them all with my phone. Makes it way easier.

Just got my shipping notification that it is in transit, to ON, no shipping charges.
Saskatoon $39.98 + $5.20 GST = $45.18 delivered.

He had been using it for 2-3 weeks at that point. Was more the audacity that he should be pulling his car battery every cold night. He drove the car to work and back every day, 40 mins a direction, so its not like it didnt have time to charge.

Thanks OP.

I was just looking for a bit to use to change my tires. Was planning on just getting the one that fits my car but now I will do some research.

This set appears to be SAE. Most lug nuts are metric.

Princess I have never had an issue with.

Not an advocate of CT by any stretch of imagination - but I never had issues with warranty exchanges, they are pretty good with that.

I've exchanged an entire set of screwdrivers at CT when all the handles became oily as the rubber degraded. They were probably 14 years old. No questions asked.

Don't need these but SAE is largely useless, esp. if working with cars. Metric is far more useful--wonder if the metric set isn't the same price?
