I scored this nice old craftsman box today for $15 could some one tell me what time period is from. I would like to start collecting some old tools,so any information you all could pass my way would be much appreciated. A link to the craftsman badge time period would help a lot. thank you.

Dose anyone else have one like this? Dose anyone know how old?

some one was throwing these away and I noticed the said Klein on them ,so I took them and cleaned them up. I was wondering if they were part of the same Klein that we all know of today. Or if they are somthing different. Also wondering if they are newer or older time line wise. Thank you for...

I have never had an air compressor that requires oil before. I picked up a used one off of craigslist. I would like to change the oil in the compressor unit,and am wondering what kind of oil to use.

I am looking into getting a regulator to place in line of my compressor. I was wondering if it is better to get just a regulator, or if it is better to get one w a moisture trap built in. I have a campbell Hausfeld 5 hp 60 gal compressor.

I like the idea of trying to make/mold somthingover them. Create my own custom socket. Thank you for the ideas everyone.

Not sure guess it's a learning curve on my part. Lol

I would like to turn it w a drill. That makes it turn at the speed of a motor.

1/2" would be ok. Here is a pick of what I will use them for.its a pulling tractor rearend. I would spin the ****** w them wile working on them.

SAE. Probably up to 1". Price is up for debate. Would prefer something a little cheaper due to the fact that they probably won't see real heavy use.

I am lookin for a set of 3/8" spline sockets. They would not get heavy use, so they do not need to be exspencive. Just need to work. Lol any suggestion. Thanks

I'm sorry, I did a Google search on the rachets I listed ,and this thread is one of the things I came across.although they are not flex handles the have the same internals. And as far as the price I think it's pretty dam good cause round hear I can't hardly buy 3 crapy 36 tooth craftsman rachets...

I have the duel 80 locking flex n just wanted some standard rachets but didn't want to spend the $ for snappy.so I ordered these today.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009PJPL6A/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1422887956&sr=8-1&keywords=gearwrench+ratchets&dpPl=1&dpID=31pR22LKpWL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

I am looking for some suggestions on purchasing some 3/8" standard impact swivel sockets. Lookin for what you all think is good quality for a cheap price. I will be using these on a 3/8" 18v dewalt impact. Also wondering is craftsman still a good choice for the night n weekend wrencher ? :dunno:
