    Spark Plug Rubber Inserts

    I would guess you can just walk into Sears and warranty it- just exchange it for a new one. At least in the states, this is the warranty statement: If this Craftsman hand tool ever fails to give complete satisfaction, return it to any Sears store or other Craftsman outlet in the United States...

    my opinion

    ^ That's a nice looking garage. Looks like a normal room inside the house turned into a garage. And great taste in project cars :thumbup:

    my opinion

    I forget, but one of my mentors when I was studying mathematical physics in college had a sign on his desk that said something like "A cluttered desk is the sign of a genius." I loved it, lol. For me, there's nothing wrong with a "pretty" garage. But my stuff always has that 'organized mess'...

    Hand Impact Drivers

    Yep that's the one I have. Great tool. After I let my friend use mine, he was so impressed, he decided to go out and buy one as well. For myself, it's been indispensible for restoring my father's 1970 Honda CB450 motorcycle. That's the difference between an impact wrench and an impact...

    Complete socket sets - Wren Hand Tools

    Oh I've modified tools before, but that was always to complete a certain job. And the modified one would get replaced with an equivalent tool. Never to make them fit into an organizer. There's a difference...

    Complete socket sets - Wren Hand Tools

    ^Damn. I'd never drill out one of my sockets. I'd modify the peg on the tray, or just not use the tray at all, and store them some other way.

    What do you use to clean your tools?

    Sounds right to me. In my experience, Simple Green works great as a cleaner/degreaser (an old pro gunsmith recommended it to me as an alternative to the more harsh solvents normally used to clean firearm parts). It strips any oil/grease/dirt off down to the bare metal. Its also non-toxic and...

    Rust Inhibitor for Inside Toolbox? What Do You Use?

    You can use silica gel packets inside the drawers to absorb excess moisture in the air: Silicagelpackets.com They have indicating ones that turn a different color when saturated. Then you just bake them in an oven to remove the water and use them again. This isn't the method I use, but...

    Any suggestions for a large breaker bar

    I think that's the same one I have. My favorite tool to bust stubborn nuts/bolts loose: Grip-On-Tools JUMBO Mechanic’s Breaker Bar — 40in., Model# 67330

    Yes, I agree, most of the old stuff I have from my father and grandfather seems to have been built like a tank. My only complaint about Craftsman these days is that they seem to have more of a QC issue than before. I've gone into several stores in the area and tried out the same product (the...

    Craftmans

    That's Craftsman's standard one and is usually always in stock at most Sears stores. You should have no problem going into Sears, getting the replacement, and having the cashier swap them out for you. Not too big a fan of that one, though. I have one that came with a set and keep it as a back...
