Craftsman StrapWrench

[MikeyBash]

I was sucked in by Bob Villa's TV commercial and I ordered that StrapWrench for $20. So far, it's failed at 2 out of 2 jobs I've tried to use it on. Maybe it's me, but I think this tool will end up on an upper shelf in my garage.

Bummer... Why not just throw it away, or return it?

I think its a piece of crap myself, its just a fancy jar opener.

This is whats great about America! You can sell any junk legally... Capitalism... Gotta love it! My rule, buy nothing from T.V. It's all junk.. But then again I am negative...

Sears does have an excellent tool program and will probably take it back if your unhappy. I pretty much ignore anything that Bob Villa is pimping on TV. There was a lawsuit against him a while back for selling a few houses that had major (undisclosed) structural problems, turns out he doesnt even have a general contractors liscense, he is just a TV personality. I do like his old sidekick Norm Abrahm that has his own TV show the New Yankee Workshop, its excellent, that is if your into woodworking.
