    More Craftsman Offshoring

    Yep, I just got back from Sears maybe a half hour ago, went in to buy some socket rails. I was looking around and couldn't believe how much stuff is now foreign and bearing a name that America built. It worries me to death that in a matter of time, I will no longer be able to purchase USA...

    Weird snap on wrench

    NADA? Like the National Automotive Dealers Association? I don't get it. Edit: They have this convention once a year, maybe snap-on used it to get some leverage for new customers?

    Huge Craftsman socket lot, 189 pieces

    It's a lot easier for me just to sell the entire box right now. I'm not splitting anything up unless I get no offers on the entire box.

    Huge Craftsman socket lot, 189 pieces

    Yep, 2 of em. But i'm trying to sell this whole box as a lot first. I'll be sure to let you guys know if I split them up.

    Huge Craftsman socket lot, 189 pieces

    I've just gotten done going thru my sockets and picked out what I needed. I still need to add some sockets to the sets I kept to complete them, these are all duplicates I had laying around. Hate to see em go, but I have no room for all these. I'm asking $1.00 a piece flat rate for each, some...

    It was a sad day in 51c

    Maybe a stupid question, but why not mention it to someone higher up to recycle it, or even sell it to a person and make some money back to put toward the use of something else? Maybe it's been mentioned before, idk, but I sure would give it a shot.

    Local welding class = $$$$, anyone want to teach me?

    Yes, as a welder I can agree with you. It's an art very few people now days know how to do. Not by choice maybe, but it's just not like it used to be. But I hate to break it to you buddy, a robot can do it better, more consistently, and probably cheaper in the long run. So now days, anyone...

    Found an interesting wrench in a pawn shop

    It's a 1 7/16 size, but it's skinny, like it's supposed to fit in a tight spot.

    Found an interesting wrench in a pawn shop

    Ok, to the top for new pics! This isn't even close to everything I drug outta there on saturday. I even found snap-on combo wrenches for $2.00 a piece. But anyway, I was really only interested in the older stuff. I got nothing in my box older than maybe 2006. So I been on the lookout for...

    Found an interesting wrench in a pawn shop

    Gotcha, there was an engraving on it on the backside of the handle, says 8-68, guessing it was issued to someone in 1968? I looked around, seems like it could be period correct.

    Found an interesting wrench in a pawn shop

    No pics yet, got dark already, and the Mrs. will have a fit if I drag it all inside and take up all the space on the coffee table again. Can get some pics tomorrow for sure though. I just found an old craftsman -v- 1/4 breaker bar in the bottom today too, so still stuff I haven't even seen...

    Found an interesting wrench in a pawn shop

    I stopped in a pawn shop over the weekend, spotted an armstrong wrench that seemed interesting. I'm pretty sure it's for some kind of pump or something, maybe a fan bolt or something but for $1.00 I couldn't pass it up. Anyway, maybe someone knows what it's for. I also picked up a whole box...

    Metric vs. SAE Std tool use

    My vote goes 70% metric. I do break out the sae stuff every now and then though. With the new Corvette sitting in my driveway, I may be using them more often now. I got a feeling it's probably mixed up a bit though on this car.
