I just spotted 4 of the Craftech clones in a tiny little Bunnings outlet in a small country town.

They apparently were a promotional item and can't be ordered anymore, each Bunnings was only supplied with a limited number. This Bunnings was only supplied with 4.

They had an inch of dust on them so I approached the manager and said "obviously they aren't a big seller and you could probably use the shelf space so how about you part with the lot for $80.00 each?"
He tickled a few keys on his computer, looked at the cieling for a minute, then said "they're yours!"

Honestly, after looking at a Pelican and comparing it with the clone, I could not justify spending an extra $200 for what is basically the same thing and in my humble opinion every bit as good.

Farmer Browns chisels would arrive every bit as safe in the Craftech clone as they would in a genuine Pelican. The only difference I could see, is that with the huge saving, farmer Brown could afford a new hammer aswell
