just an update.....I ordered these just because it was only $15,not that I needed them, they arrived quickly and are all USA made. We have lots and lots of old iron at work, I can imagine someday they'll get used.

You know, we should really create a sub-forum here on GJ for Hot Deals...

What is their function?

 

[maddawg1952]

They were originally made for loosening or tightening the drag link in a steering system used on older trucks, I can think of lots of older equipment and trucks that have some kind of fastener that these will be useful on. Especially John Deere iron.

 

[panknuckshovel]

I needed one for starter assemblies on Shovelheads.

They work great for the center bolt on large swivel vise bases.

Ok makes sense why I found a few at the farm. Had no clue why they were.

Seems like it'd be good for the slotted screws on some sterndrives. They are quite large and none of my bit sockets are big enough.

sacO2 yes I realize there is a "Hot Deals" forum I read it daily I also try to help my fellow GJer by trying to show new members or older members who don't read the "Deals " daily that there may be a good buy available to them that needs to be acted on quickly , sorry if that ruffles your feathers.

Thanks a bunch maddawg!

Picked up a set for the shop.

 

[slyonedoofy]

Meh, they were free. Might need it someday.

Ya, I picked one up too for my dad. He works on old stuff and after points it was only 8 bucks including shipping.

 

[Farmall450]

$10 after points and free shipping, I can't complain.

No quite sure why I got free shipping, nor do I understand why I could only redeem my surprise points by logging into SYW.com and finding the item there versus craftsman.com but it worked out.

Reason why I purchased these. Will work great on my Volvo Sterndrive

+1, tough to refurb a big Yost without one.

 

[Farmall450]

Got free shipping as well. I don't ask when Sears screws up in my favor. I had to call so I could use my Tool of the Month points though. They never put them into my account automatically.

Forgot about those, dang.

 

[t4runner]

Just went to the site comes up as $32 guess I missed it.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Mine came in today as well. They were also G series.
