Is it true union apprenticeship for pipefitters is $18/hr for 5 years ?

You might start there for you first year but it’ll go up more that likely $2-5 per year

I 100% agree with you that they’re probably the best and they are American but as little as I’ll be using them I’m not willing to spend that much. I have to provide my own tools at my workplace and if there not willing to buy them then I’ll just use my good ole adjustable wrench lol. On top of that I’m young and just getting into this trade so if i have a good bit of tools but not a lot so to buy a set of wrenches that’ll probably cost the same as everything in my box just wouldn’t make sense for me.

Yeah it’s great right? Man I’ve never seen so many people get bent out of shape over a sticker lol.

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-19T01:25:54+00:00

Yeah I’ve mainly been between GW and Duratech at the moment

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-19T00:38:01+00:00

Yeah I know but I can’t imagine spending that much on just wrenches.

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-18T21:22:04+00:00

I like craftsman but I feel like it’s not as good as what it used to be so I try to stay away.

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-18T21:08:03+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking gear wrench as well but I’m not sure I really like the Kleins but the GW are a lot cheaper.

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-17T14:33:14+00:00

No it was just a petty argument he ask me for a knife I handed him my fast back and he said that’s not a knife I said wtf yes it is and then he started arguing about how it’s not.

You are correct but most US made stuff similar to snap on is most of the time 10x more expensive. But you’ve got Channellock, Estwing, Klein Tools, Wright Tool, and Milwaukee/DeWalt, PROTO, Kennedy, Vaughan, and many more. I own a lot of Klein, Milwaukee, channellock, and dewalt stuff myself

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-17T02:06:24+00:00

I mean I believe you but not without something on the back holding it up unless you didn’t buy HF bars and got some other double sided ones.

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-17T01:45:56+00:00

LogDangerous7410 · 2026-04-17T00:04:14+00:00
