This set performed basically neck and neck with the Irwin on the project farm video. Sears website has it at 60% off

I'm only seeing 47% off. It says it's using my Zip code for pricing and availability.

Same here.

47% for me too. It's a nice enough set, I bought it on sale Nov. 2018 for $75.99

Can you tell what zip code to use so we can change to it and then have it shipped free?

 

[dclark2171]

I apologize. 47% I was looking at an eBay offer around the same time with a 60% off retail for an item.

 

[dclark2171]

Still a decent deal.

Carbon steel, not HSS now.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Craftsman offered HSS since the KromeEdge from years ago.

Says 62% for me, which is about the price I paid for this kit some 8 years ago. No way would I pay the retail. Much better stuff out there than this. The pieces easily fall out when you try closing it, so you have to be quick at closing or you make a mess. Nothing fancy, I mostly use it to re-thread stuff that gets messed up.

Sears website? Thought it had faded away as brands sold and stores closed.

Any idea who manufactured your 8 year old set? Is there a manufacturer code? Pretty much the end of the line of the Sears supply line.

I have a set like this from about 2016 or so, and I'm pretty sure it's an Apex Tool Group product. Case is very similar, essentially identical exterior dimensions as a Gearwrench set with a lot of pieces looking the same. Wasn't US made, but the pieces have performed well. Other Craftsman tools of this era were definitely Apex.

Everything I got from Sears under the Crafstman name since 2019 or so was absolute garbage, made by some seriously low bidding companies I can only guess. Great Neck maybe?

My tap/die set looks identical in every possible way to the picture on the web page. I'd assume it's the same manufacturer in china as the set offered now.

FWIW, I edited the thread title.
