Looks like they are having a good sale on now. Is it worth it? Thanks.

They have a good reputation. I have their disc cutter and I am very happy with it.

Pepe Tools is a mid-range price tool company. I have never heard anyone compiain about any of their tools. I personally don't own any, so I can't say from personal experience.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I would be cautious about any "first-generation" tools in categories that they may not have prior offerings.

I bought their first metal shear and, while it works for me, it has some accuracy issues. The Seattle jeweler with whom I had taken 1:1 training had purchased their first ring-bender (or first beefy one). He didn't want it so I bought it at a discount. I discovered that I was unable to bend thick bands without some serious marking in the metal, even when taking steps to try to avoid that. I eventually passed it on to a metalsmith friend and warned her that it makes a much better doorstop.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
