Years ago, I worked at Meijer Corporate and did a short stint on the hardware desk. In response to my question as why don't we look into carrying Craftsman tools, which were still made in the USA at that time, I was told Sears-Craftsman refused because they felt it would devalue their brand...

I'm looking for recommendations on replacing a Paslode Impulse framing nail gun. I loaned it out several years ago and never got it back. The gun worked great at first, but even after two rebuilds, would misfire on a regular basis. I would like something light weight, RELIABLE, budget...

I really like their pliers and cutters. The best thing about their screwdriver is that you can use a wrench on the handle.

My friend bought one the same time I purchased a Tekton (USA made by Goodyear with a lifetime warranty). His is already cracked, other than stains, mine is in perfect shape. Plus, if there's ever an issue, Tekton will warranty it. I think I paid $10 more than he did. I purchased mine from...

All my newer SK tools have come from Circle C. If the SK rep reads this, hopefully he will try to correct the issue. I'm not sure how many hundreds I spent on SK last year from Circle C, but it was significant. Circle C offers great service, some of the best prices around, and fast shipping...

I'd like to finish a small room and develope new skills in the process. What brand of drywall knives do you prefer? I'd like to stick with USA made if possible.

Thanks! It's running like new again.

I have an old Rockwell table saw. The starting capacitor was removed years ago and I need help figuring out how to correctly wire it up. The capacitor has "+" and "-" terminals. The two wires coming off the motor are black, with one has a white tag with "T5" printed on it. Any guess as to...

I believe rural carriers do not have to drive down a driveway if it's 0.25 miles or longer. A rural carriers pay is based upon the routes evaluated time. This may be a reason why this gentleman is receiving a notice, it may be faster to leave the notice then to actually deliver a package. I...

Received mine today from Circle C, came with a tray for $199. https://www.circlecsupply.com/sk-80240-3-piece-1-4-3-8-1-2-drive-lp90-ratchet-set.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqp3Rroy13wIVAyhpCh3T4QBLEAQYAiABEgK0b_D_BwE The 1/2 was very smooth out of the box with very low back drag. The 3/8 and 1/4...

It's the best deal I could find given the free shipping. I added a 3/8 and 1/2 inch DT kits also. Ordered it at 9 PM and had a shipping notification the next morning. Would have liked all three to have the green selector, but that will probably never happen again. It's my understanding this is a...

Comes with 1/4”, 3/8", and 1/2" for $199 with free shipping. https://www.circlecsupply.com/sk-80240-3-piece-1-4-3-8-1-2-drive-lp90-ratchet-set.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqp3Rroy13wIVAyhpCh3T4QBLEAQYAiABEgK0b_D_BwE

Have you looked into shipping through USPS? They seem to have the best rates and offer volume discounts. From what I've experienced, UPS is the most expensive shipper. Even if you aren't making money off shipping, if the cost is too high, it makes your hammers less competitive. May want to...

I don't think there is a set. They have a shallow set, https://www.craftsman.com/products/craftsman-82-pc-6-pt-1-4-3-8-and-1-2-in-drives-easy-read-socket-set?taxon_id=1847 but no deeps. So, you would either have to buy it by drive size, which includes deep and shallow, or buy the set for $189...

Looks like Circle C has it. http://www.circlecsupply.com/sk-800740-2-1-2-drive-dt80-ratchet-mechanism.html
