Any of you guys remember Wizard tools?

There use to be Western Auto stores. They sold everything, appliances, lawn mowers, tools you name it.

They had a line of tools with their name on them, Wizard.

I bought a 3/8" ratchet maybe about 1970, I used the heck out of it, and became my favorite
even over craftsman. It had a Flex Head that actually stayed put instead of flopping around.

Finally about 10 years back it finally gave up the ghost.
I searched around for info on them but come up more or less empty handed.

I replaced it with a Craftsman 3/8 with a Flex head, and cut the handle to the length the Wizard has.
The damn Flex will not stay put, so doesn`t get much use.


I agree with Rollguy, those Craftsman with the lazer etched sizes on the Sockets are hard to read, and with wear, almost impossible to read.

There is no warranty for replacement if the etch wears off.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
