Eastwood Tools - Original Manufacturers?
 

There are several Eastwood tools I'm interested in getting, but they're mightly pricy. I keep hearing how Eastwood doesn't manufacture anything but catalogs, so I'd love to find the original manufacturer (and hopefully cheaper) of these tools.

The flaring tool looks to be the same as this vendor carries "S.S.S.andR. tools. Don't know for sure if they make it but some of their tools in the past have been unique!

i'm not a big fan of eastwood stuff. they are very local too me and i've seen some of their mark ups and scams i think its rediculous.

i get blasting media from there supplier at $6.00 a 50 lb. bag go too their site an see what it costs:lol:

some of their "kits" give you just enough not too finish the job so you end up buying more.

i've notice some of their $20. tubes of seam sealer are the exact same stuff you could buy elseware for 5-6-7 dollars a tube.

good for you for looking for the same tool elseware....smart move
