120 gal, 3ph 10hp 2 stage. Puts out 35scfm or so, can't remember off the top of my head. It's going in at the new shop we acquired at work. We outgrew our current space and took over another 15000sqft.

Get to try them out yet? That seems like a good deal. I was looking at a set of Steelmans but the reviews said that they were too big and the wheel wouldn't actually fit over them.

I don't do too many cars that make use of them so it'll be a while before I get a good chance to use them. I really bought the set for the 2-3 a month that are PITA. I'll update whenever I get a chance to try them out.

A bit unorthodox, perhaps, but these are designed and manufactured in the USA! No flimsy China plastic here. 4e2ec41e4b15fb589dd6cf899b80e45f.jpgbb3bdaceb5880ac65cf6fa1caf0cb30f.jpg

Peter - tell us more about that tool brand, it's not one we see in the US.

It's quite a new brand. It originates in the Netherlands. They offer a lifetime warranty but costs significantly less then the known brands like snap-on, Facom, Béta... Many of my friends in the Belgian off-road community use them for some years now and are very pleased with it.

It really ***** that sears got rid of these. Most of my collection was bought pre clearance sales because I tried one at the store and really liked them. Now I have a pretty large set of them and they are my go to in my shop box. I use my Proto in the van set of tools. I would use the Craftsman Pros but Im afraid to lose them and then would have no way to replace them easily. So they are designated to shop work only. One of the more under rated tools sears had. Even when they were new and full price they were a bargain.

Hey Brownsfan... still a Browns fan, I see. :D (emoji inserted so you know I'm just bustin' balls, and not a big meanie).

Anyways, you're certainly right about these screwdrivers. One of the better lines that Craftsman ever had. I've owned more expensive screwdrivers, and I think these are even still better than those. I've seen Craftsman do some dumb things over the years, but this one took the cake. All those other, clear-handled screwdrivers they have were (and still are) junk. Then they came out with these gems, and they ditch them after a while... WTH?

When I bought my first C'man Pro screwdrivers, I was hesitant because of the cost, but after using them for just a few seconds, anyone can tell that they're pretty damn good.

So a while back when I found out that they had discontinued them, I was relieved to find a member here, had a decent set (with several BRAND NEW ones) for a decent price, I had to ****** them up.

Like I said I had most of mine before they were discontinued. They were not really that expensive for what they were. Probably the most comfortable handle I ever used. And the tips are really nice and durable. I wish they would have made nut drivers in this handle. Or door panel removal tools. These were truly a hidden in plain site gem on Sears shelves. They didnt sell too well because most bought the cheap clear handle ones. But for not a huge amount more you could have bought a screwdriver light years ahead in performance and comfort.

Oh and if you ever want to see what a non band wagon sports fan looks like. Its a Cleveland Browns fan who willingly buys Browns merchandise and proudly wears it. I would wear my Browns sideline pull over all the time. It was habit. Leave the house when its a little chilly throw on the pull over. Not thinking I wore to Pittsburgh when my job took me out there. I took a good beating by Steelers fans. Most were very cool and felt sorry for me LOL. Its not something you choose. You are born into it. Ask my kids. My daughter at 4 made a little boy wearing a steelers shirt cry. She wouldnt play with him or even talk to him. We asked why she was being like that. She said Daddy he has a steelers shirt on I cant be friends with him. I felt so bad and had to explain to her that it really isnt that important and you shouldnt care.

Just ball-bustin... I don't watch any sports. I think most of them are over-paid thugs, and dead-beat dads who fill bankruptcy courts when they can't cut it anymore. And I'm not pro-owner either, they're greedy jerks that end up stiffing us with the bill for their stadiums and arenas.

I still like my screwdrivers though.

You would be correct lol. Pretty happy so far! Pretty good prices and quick shipping

There are some good deals to be had. Other times Amazon/etc has it cheaper so you do have to shop around. Those GW stubbies were a good price. I already have them, you will like them a lot!

Yea I've got a prime account so I'll check back and forth on items.. Offering free shipping helps too, puts things within a few bucks. I've been on the lookout for a good deal on those sets for a while, can't wait to try em out!

I bought a set of gearwrench 1/4" drive metric and sae swivel sockets from Nathen Arnold, the other tool dealer.. Couldn't say no to $60 for both! Those should arrive in a few days.

I feel your pain, I've been a Cubs fan since I was a kid. I can prove it, "Just wait until next year"

And this just in, ... a new set of orange Matco pry bars, ... right next to a new set of Dewalt wrecking bars, ... right next to a new set of Ridgid aluminum pipe wrenches. Still waiting on the 12" Rigid pipe wrench, which will complete this drawer in the toolbox.

So that guy is good to go then. I've wanted a few things, but the idea of buying from a FB seller worries me. Might have to send him some business now.

Yea I've only been apart of the group a couple of weeks, but seems to do a lot of decent deals! Lots of people posting up things they have bought from him
