    Craftsman 52 pc impact socket set

    That module at my local sears were still USA made. I bought 3/8 and 1/2 impacts last year and they were also USA made. I think there was a thread here not to long ago with a comparison with China and USA cman sockets. You could always take it into Sears and exchange it for a USA made set too if...

    Any insight as to why HF yanked their utility trailers off the shelves?

    I was posting a link in another thread with the HF coupon thread on slickdeals, and I saw this: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=46804178&postcount=2350

    Making my first HF run, what should be on my must have list?

    You might as well bring some coupons with you. Slickdeals has a pretty large coupon thread dedicated to Harbor freight. http://slickdeals.net/f/1276399-Harbor-Freight-Coupon-Thread

    Channellock recomends Plasti-Dip for rehandling

    Just wondering how has the durable the new handles are and how they've held up? How long ago did you dip them? I have a couple channellocks and a few other pliers that have torn up handles. Klein also makes replacement handles.

    CL Wrench Haul (Vintage) - Pic Heavy

    Great looking stuff. I have a bunch of similar wrenches that I got in a lot early last year. The small Japanese wrenches reminds me of some of the tooling that came with older power tools. A few of those looks like one of the tool that came with my fathers old table saw.

    What would you do? Another Ebay rip

    Thank you for posting this, just got done reading that and it's a shame. I'm getting slammed with the "being ethical and honest" bit too. He packaged my ratchets the same exact way, I guess he doesn't learn. I guess being ethical excludes using a business name that appears to be related to...

    What would you do? Another Ebay rip

    There is marks from the reverse switch. The drive ends both look brand new, which makes me think that they're refurbished or were warranty units. I'm fine with that if the seller wants to send a partial refund, otherwise like you said i'm going to open up a claim. Hard to see in the picture...
