    Why are old Craftsman Professional screwdrivers so expensive?

    I had a fairly big set of the red/black Craftsman Professional screwdrivers. When the prices shot up, I sold them on Ebay, since I had quite a few that were new/like new. I thought they were great screwdrivers, but I replaced them with a set of Vessel Megadoras. The Vessels are so much better...

    CoThG's Toolbox question thread

    Anything you buy on Craigslist may have debt behind it. A Snap on wrench, a Rooms to Go bed, a TV from Best Buy, an Ikea mattress, who gives a ****? If you are that worried about it, don't buy used. Otherwise, buy it and nothing will ever happen because it's not your problem.

    Malco Eagle Grip vs Gedore Locking Pliers

    I really don't use locking pliers all that often, but I went into a Lowes around 15 years ago and they had all of their Crescent USA stuff on clearance. I bought several adjustables, and I grabbed one of each that I could of the locking pliers. Mine are still in great shape, as I really don't...

    Anything new with ratchet lube?

    I used Permatex assembly lube years ago after reading about it on here. It was a sticky mess that leaked out of all of my ratchets. I moved to Super Lube and all has been well since.

    Classic USA Craftsman to New Modern Day Made in USA

    Crazy how there is still so much misinformation and speculation about the pre-2010 Craftsman tools. I had a conversation with someone that worked for Danaher/Apex once. He told me that all of the Craftsman/Armstrong/Allen sockets all rolled off the same line with the same metal and same...

    Was American Eagle a short lived made in USA precursor to Matco's Silver Eagle line or something else entirety?

    I don't remember them selling tools, but I bought some tshirts and jeans from there in the mid 90's.

    Western Forge/Eagle Grip Connection?

    with the minimal number of tool manufacturers in the USA these days, it's really no surprise that when one has an auction another one ends up with some of their equipment.

    New lawn mower

    The end of the lever fell off of it pretty soon after I bought it. It took very little effort to move it.

    New lawn mower

    I had a Husqvarna AWD push mower with a Honda engine. I hated the AWD system. It was very difficult to maneuver the mower because of it. I sold it and bought a Dewalt cordless mower. Both batteries failed, the mower was horrible, I returned it under warranty. I got a Honda self propelled...
