The finish (as you can see) is sharp as hell. The ratchets *feel* high quality - heavy, lots of gear teeth, smooth operation, no cheapie-stamped parts, good machining, etc. Having actually put some time on the set you see in the pictures - project Yukon has offered plenty opportunity - I can personally attest that they’re quite durable, and not “chinese junk” by any stretch of the imagination. That’s also why we’re talking to the engineer, after which we’ll report back with another update. Having the kind of close interaction we’ve had over the last year or so with tool manufacturers, we’re begining to see that it’s not as important where they’re made as much as how the QC process works - which is something we wrote about in this article. In the end, it’s becoming more and more difficult to know the quality of something based on where it’s made. We’re also starting to see the emergence of truly “global” companies - like Worx, for example - that have teams all over the world designing, manufacturing, and QC-ing their tools. Many companies, like Craftsman for example, contract the design of their tools, then contract the manufacturing as well. GearWrench, BTW, is a division of Danaher, which (over the years) has made tools for all sorts of people - some in the US and some overseas. We assumed they were made here as we saw them in the factory and they look identical to the ones we saw being manufactured.

They’re manufactured overseas, but to the same specs as other MAC tools, and they perform the spot QC checks at the US factory. There’s even a 3/8″ universal joint for the really tough-to-reach jobs. In case you need to cross drive sizes, there’s a 3/8″ to 1/4″ drive adapter and a 3/8″ to 1/2″ drive adapter. Power comes from both a breaker bar and ratchet driver, and 3″, 6″, 10″ extensions help you get the exact reach you need. As any foose fan’ll want to work on cars, MAC includes two deep spark-plug sockets - they include the rubber insert for grabbing plugs - in 21mm and 5/8″. You also get 6-point deep 3/8″ sockets from 11mm to 23mm and in SAE from 3/8″ to 7/8″. The kit includes standard 6-point 3/8″ sockets in metric from 7mm to 19mm and in SAE from 1/4″ to 7/8″. The second drawer houses 3/8″ sockets and accessories. The screwdrivers are orange and black, featuring the Foose logo in offset colors.

You get large, medium, and stubby screwdrivers in Phillips and common plus quite a variety of pliers: standard, linesman’s, needle-nose, slip-joint, locking, and wire cutting. The top drawer serves as home to screwdrivers and pliers, and MAC isn’t stingy with them. Right away we were impressed with the tool selection. The tools ship right in their orange foam organizers, so all you have to do to stow them is unwrap the filled-up organizer and drop it into the appropriate drawer. The Foose kit comes in two separate boxes, one contains the box and the other contains the tools. Note: Click on any of the smaller images to see their larger counterparts. They look and feel just like the other MAC tools we’ve used, and we can attest that they’re quite durable. My take? This is a helluva deal for some great tools. We’re speaking with the actual engineer in charge in the next day or so, but the early word seems to be that they were sent out mainly because they didn’t want to tool up for the one-off special finish. They’re manufactured overseas to the same spec as the MAC tools manufactured here in the US, and the ones we saw at the facility were there for quality control checks, which are performed here. Update: Some readers asked where exactly these tools are manufactured. This is the ultimate Christmas present for your tool-loving spouse or friend. The tools themselves are absolutely first class quality, too. Let’s get that out of the way right up front: The selection of tools in this kit is so well thought out that it’d make a killer starter kit for anyone looking to get into automotive work.

While it’d have been so easy for MAC to just slap Foose’s hot-item name and graphics on a kit and shove it out the door, they really put some time into selecting the tools.

So many celebrity collectors’ kits are just completely impractical They’re either designed in such a way that the prettiness wears off if you use them or they’re full of tools for which you have no need whatsoever. So when we heard about MAC’s Foose-branded special edition tool kit, we had to see it. Some people can draw pretty pictures of cars, but how many of them can actually build the car such that it looks just as crazy as the illustration? Foose. What can we say? We’re big Foose fans, both for his incredible work and his incredible art.
