Used mine for the first time last night.

I took the exhaust-shield(?) off my Civic to clean oil and crud from a bad valve cover gasket. Some of the grit/grime had gotten in the bolt holes and on to the bolts. I chucked the little die into a small vise and used a thumbwheel ratchet to spin the bolts in to it.

Bolts came out looking brand new with no crud at all.

Then I cleaned the holes with the hole chasers. Everything worked great. Wondering how I got by without this kit for so long.

 

[merikgvr4]

Is there a hole chaser for sparkplugs?

 

[Jarhead0408]

Not that I remember.

 

[Danglerb]

Is there a hole chaser for sparkplugs?

Not in this kit, but Lisle has one. Since a sparkplug hole can be a major PITA when its fubar, there are also fancy thread restorers that come apart so you can do the threads from the inside out.

 

[merikgvr4]

Thanks

Bought one a few weeks back and used it three times this weekend. Worked great!!

 

[gilbo]

looks like they raised the sale price up , to 49.96 now

 

[thesilverone]

still a great price

 

[Tellingthem]

Back on sale for $44.96. So not quite as cheap as before ($39.96 price) but still pretty good. I've been holding out but figured I should get one while the gettings good.

I have the 40 piece set that I bought in the store. I've never used it. What are the extra 8 pieces? If they are smaller metric, it may be worth getting this and selling the 40 piece set. Decisions.

(Adding to an old thread to help any searchers.)

The Craftsman/Kastar 48pc is the 40pc set plus 1 tap and 1 die in each of the following sizes:

M10-1.00 - spark plugs?
M10-1.25 - exhaust studs?
M11-1.25 - Honda timing belt tensioner?
M14-1.50 - wheel studs? oil drain plug?

 

[Banjorear]

Thank you. Worth it to me with those extras.

 

[Ign]

M10x1 is definitely spark plugs, I had to order a tap when I built my model engine in school!

 

[66354dream]

I have this set myself and LOVE it

 

[scootr29]

Ordered....

 

[johndeereman]

Ordered as well sure will come in handy....

 

[Buckgnarly]

One of the best rebrands for Sears, use the hell out of my set!

 

[mizzourob]

Just ordered a set, and it's cheaper now (44.96) than the OP

 

[toolmuchtool]

Thanks OP, I got one also.

 

[Jarhead0408]

Just used mine again today.

The threaded rods that came on my bearing splitter weren't long enough to let me put the splitter over my Civic's wheel bearing (outer race), so I bought some 1/2"-13 Allthread to make new "legs". After I cut them to size I used this kit to clean up and regroove the threads. It worked perfectly.

This kit has been so handy that I don't even keep it in a drawer. I just store it in the top of my toolbox under the lid.

 

[joshs74nova]

Got one and love it. It's already paid for itself.

 

[Shootingblanks]

Ordered....thanks.

 

[djscotty]

I do not know how Sears stays in business. I ordered and the set came out to 34.96 plus tax, I applied whatever coupons I can find and do not really pay attention to what they are because you never know what they are going to do. Well I placed the order and they said I received 21. in points for my next order. Really? I will take it every time but just strange has there is not a rhyme or reason.

 

[skulldrinker]

This is one of the most used sets in my shop...I recommend you search this item on GJ and read up....

the same set at the shop I was at and we all used it. But for the sake of that other guy I agree if you are a home owner and already have a complete tap and die set i wouldn't buy this unless I had extra cash.

I have a full set of SAE & Metric so I won't be running out for this.

 

[txusa03]

$39.96 hurry before price goes up.

 

[njride]

Got one, $42 and change with tax and free shipping(signed up for the mysears or whatever it is).
I have the smaller metric set and use it alot, been waiting for this to come back.

Thanks for updating, insomnia finally pays off for me lol.

 

[CJM8515]

Been watching this for over a year, finally bit the bullet. 50 bucks with tax and shipping. Id pick it up in store if they had any damn tools there anymore! Im not a sears fan, but we know this ones a good rebrand.

 

[greenlizard]

Yea! Finally caught this $39.96 sale. Well, more like $50 delivered but I'm still pleased.

 

[NoSloCoupes]

Broke the 7/16 tap yesterday, whats the warranty on this? They carry singles in store?

 

[hickfied]

No warranty, even though the included insert says lifetime warranty. IIRC the snap on singles are ~$5 each.

[olytdi]

Thanks OP(s). In for one. This will be handy.

 

[Ronniexj]

Got it for $39.18 with a few points and free two day shipping. Should come in handy thanks!

 

[64merc]

Thanks! I chickened out last time but I've been waiting for it to drop down again. I finally pulled the trigger. Free shipping was the clincher for me...I hate having to stop by on my way home from work.

 

[FXDawg]

How did you get free shipping? they want $9 to ship for me... did you join the premium shop your way?
