Opinion | Canadian Tire has never been more Canadian — and it’s working
Don’t know what it is now, but for the longest time about ⅔ of the wrenches and rackets were rebranded Gearwrench, which is nothing to sneeze at. So OK, it’s not Grey Tools or Snap-On. But Gearwrench is solidly upper-end quality.
I am not 100% what they do now but when I moved 11 years ago I started getting some tools to fix my house, car, etc and most of them are still with me. I am not a handyman by trade to be sure, but I have done quite a bit of work around the house and tools lasting 10+ years are pretty acceptable for the price range IMO
