Well... I couldn't help myself.

Seeing they were clearing out craftsman industrial, i had to go back to the well, not that I needed more wrenches or had the cash, but who doesn't need more wrenches?


CRAFTSMAN INDUSTRIAL Combo Wrench Set, Chrome, 9-27mm, 14 Pc
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 24, 27mm

Got it for $74.99



And also picked up the Craftsman Professional 3-pc. Mini Wire Cutter, Stripper, Crimper Set

Got it 50% off for $14.99

I just PM'd Franzdom about the Industrial Craftsman stuff but realized I should share with the world too. I'm in NC and the Sears Outlet Store in Greensboro has a truckload of full polish Industrial socket sets, wrench sets and full box mechanics sets at 50 % off. USA made. May be the last of the USA made stuff available? Great looking tools with the full polish, good hunting.

actually with the santa ana store, you can order online (shipping charges apply)

if you click the "products near you" tab - you will have to put in a southern cal zip... use mine 92606 and select the santa ana store, and go to the middle of page 2, from the link below, you will see the kits/sets, even though they say craftsman... they are the craftsman industrial

Building my own workshop so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy some new tools.

Top is a Coil Framing Nailer 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch framing nails (0.099 to 0.131 shank)
Right is a Straight Finish Nailer 1 to 2 1/2 inch 16 Ga finish nails
Left is a Stapler 1/2 to 1 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch wide 18 Ga staples

They all come with optional bump triggers which in the case of the framing nailer is down right terrifiying.

I was planning on buying the Williams ratchet wrenches but they were more expensive, made in Taiwan and I don't think they will be used enough.

Grey Pneumatic 3/8 Impact set 1242RD. Got it for around $75.00 thanks to the Advance Auto Parts Labor Day sale. Usually around 90-100 for the set.

Anyone know anywhere to get more quality ones (coo doesnt matter as long as its quality) to fill in the missing ones, and more bits, looking for more torx, etc.

Happy Bday to me!

Gotta say, I've got one terrific wife. She gave me exactly what I wanted, and probably the finest tool I have ever owned, a new Lie Nielsen progressive pitch dovetail saw.

Thanks to a fellow GJer in the hot deals section, I scored myself a couple sets of GW stubbies on sale and a rippin deal on the GW 56 pc ratcheting screwdriver combo (feels better than I expected in terms of quality).

Even my folks got in on the Bday fun and scored me a Wisconsin made 48in Johnson level.

Thought Id share my loot...

I have a couple of those same sets I picked up when I bought the big C'man sets.

The bits are not high quality as far as I've seen during my using them and the whole set is really just filler except for the handle.

For regular bits, I suggest Wiha. That's mainly the mfgr. I use.

For the nut driver bit set, all i've seen at Sears is the 12 pc. you and I have.

The biggest set I;ve seen is the 14 piece set from Tekton.

Even Snap-On does not carry nut driver bits or even sets of them.
I'm guessing they are not popular and I never use mine. And to be honest I only use the black driver to hold a flat bit since I use flat tips so rarely.

My local sears had this set of US made craftsman pro wrenches on clearance for $40 and they had individual craftsman pro wrenches on clearance. Got a 13/16 and 7/8 for $20. Used my sears points and only paid around $25 for all of it. Not too bad.

I can see why, get a 1/4 adapter and you can use any socket deep or shallow. This is for my small main/road box, and I dont really use screwdrivers much anyways
, its odd.

I just got that pick about a month ago and stripped the shank in the handle the first time I used it. Not impressed. Waited about 6 weeks just to get it.

Epoxied it back together but haven't had a chance to try it again.
