just curious. this seems like a good deal for respected brand with lifetime warranty, locking flex heads, and all 3 sizes in the set... why not more interest?

This is a very good deal. I was just out at HFT looking at the G2 - it seems these GW's and the ICONs are very similar. One difference is that the ICON G2 in 1/2 is the size of a large breaker bar at 26" and this GW 1/2 is the size of a normal breaker bar at 17". Otherwise, it seems highly possible the ICONs and the GW's may be made in same factory. And that ICON 26" G2 retails for $120, and is still $72 even after the 40% BF discount.

I have four of the Icon G2s (1/4" and 3/8") and one 90T Gearwrench (3/8").
Icon ratchets are longer:
1/4": Gearwrench 8 inch; Icon 9 inch.
3/8": Gearwrench 13 inch; Icon 14 inch.
1/2": Gearwrench 17 inch; Icon 26 inch, making the Icon 48% longer. So these two ratchets are not in the same category. HF will release shorter 1/2" G2 ratchets next year.
The Icons actually have fewer teeth, but they feel surprisingly amazing. Personally, I like the G2s much more.
The Icons are made in Taiwan, while Gearwrench has moved some of its production to China. No idea whether this has affected the quality of their ratchets. Honestly, the Gearwrench sale looks solid. You'll probably be happy with either. But I love my Icon G2s.

Gearwrench ratchets are made in Taiwan. In fact, I'm not aware of a single Gearwrench ratchet that is made in China (maybe outside of those little finger/palm spinner ratchets).

The box on the 2pk of these 120XP flex-head ratchets (non-locking) I got recently definitely says Taiwan. That said, the ratcheting wrenches have all stated made in China.

Project Farm on YouTube reviewed/tested these against many other brands including icon, and the gear wrench 90 tooth performed extremely well. Video title is "Best flex head ratchet? Let's settle this".

A video on YT uploaded last year shows the packaging of three 90T Gearwrench ratchets. The packaging on two of them reads: "Product of Vietnam, finished in Mainland, China." The third was made in Taiwan. So yes, Gearwrench is moving production to China. Look it up for yourself. Many other Gearwrench products are increasingly being made in China, including wrenches.

"Very impressive"
Anyways he didn't test it against the G2 ICON though.
