Thats not the same box. No where close. This was part of Craftsman's premium line back in the day. The step between what would now be the 2000 and 3000 series. Its slotted in between that. This box has posi-latch drawers and premium slides rated for 125lbs which the 2000 series do not also...

Take the sockets, throw them in the freezer. Once froze.. heat the outside socket only with a propane torch. Should free it.

Depends how tight the ratchet is. I run all 88s in mine but the TIGHT ratchets don't typically like the 88 kits.

Utterly hate the detent drawer latches. Even on the Craftsman soft-close drawers.. HATE the detent. I wanna be able to lift and gently pull the drawer open from anywhere on the handle and know the drawer is secure by hearing that "clack" when the latch drops.

Just buy this and be done.. Any MATCO 88 kit will drop right in it.

Figure they'll be worth something someday. lol. Or who knows, might end up being a gift.

Does this count? lol. I have both 1/4 and 3/8 drive sets. Never used them. Just bought em on sale about 2 years ago.

My go-to ratchet depends on the drive size but 3/8 being my most common used- Craftsman 2548. Best ratchet I have ever bought. VERY VERY low backdrag too.

ope. Sleepy, misread. 7.3 IDI. Forgot they had the gassers now.

I have this and it worked for my dads 7.3L https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kobalt-23949-15-Piece-Serpentine-Belt-Tool-Set-/333754143653?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l4275.c1#viTabs_0

Easiest way I've been able to tell- Flat facing front drawers. The non-GL have a bulge at the bottom usually.

I have a 15mm Armstrong one. Not sure that Craftsman had one as I believe their stuff ended at 13mm.

Yes, MATCO ratchets are now made by AJ Manufacturing in Illinois. As for Apex ******* off.. Its vulture capitalists that can piss off. Bain Capital screwed Apex over and people keep buying into the GearWrench hype.. If people only knew a lot of their impacts and hand tools used to be made here...

Yep. Its why I stopped buying Apex non-USA tools. Until they re-shore hand tool production.. I won't buy GearWrench branded stuff. Absolutely refuse to. For ratchets, I've made the decision to jump to MATCO since they have the same mechanism and retain USA made. Which btw- I do have a few...

IFixit tool kit has them. I have the set, used it to repair a few Apple products and a Note 5. Decent quality, lifetime warranty on the bits and all. https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Pro-Tech-Toolkit/IF145-307 OR if you just want the bits and the most comprehensive kit...
