Mines done a good job so far, I'm just O.C.D and want to complete the kit, of course with American made components. I did order the gauge and a missing T wrench NOS off Ebay last year. All the NOS Vermont stuff looks very similar, so I've assumed that's who made it so far. Unless someone...

Thought I revive this to see if anyone has further thoughts on the manufacturer. I've started to use this kit more, and would like to add the missing pieces, preferably from the original maker if they still exist and produce such.

The kit is definitely from the early to mid 70's. Sears hasn't used that logo since then, or “Sears Best”. I've sourced 75% of it, almost 99.5% sure it's Vermont American, it's identical to their older kits available on Ebay. The blown case and the tray layouts match to the “T” Thanks for all...

Looking for the following missing from my kit: 3 mm x .50 3 mm x .60 3.5 mm x .60 4 mm x .70 5 mm x .75 5 mm x .80 5 mm x .90 5.5 mm x .90 6 mm x 1.00 6 mm x 1.25 7 mm x 1.25 8 mm x 1.00 10 mm x 1.00 1/4-1/2 T-handle tap wrench #6 full size tap wrench Please PM me if you have these available.

They're all Craftsman HSS other than the ones I pointed out, possible someone mixed and matched between kits. He did tell me he picked it up at an estate sale, shame someone didn't keep it all together. I have sourced most of it on Ebay, would be nice to have all matching Craftsman HSS, but...

I think you're right, almost identical to my kit: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VERMONT-AMERICAN-1749-40PC-PROFESSIONAL-TAP-DIE-SET-METRIC-NEW-USA-MADE-IN-CASE-/140974621676?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&hash=item20d2be03ec&vxp=mtr

He made good and is refunding $80, enough to get Greenfield from Grainger. I'll spend some time trying to source originals on Ebay.

Probably because the auction ended, here's the ad: CRAFTSMAN METRIC KROMEDGE HIGH SPEED STEEL TAP AND DIE SET 59pc This is a barely used CRAFTSMAN METRIC KROMEDGE HIGH SPEED STEEL TAP AND DIE SET. There are a couple smaller size taps missing, and a couple extra sizes included. I think I counted...

I just picked up a vintage Craftsman Metric Kromedge tap/die set, paid more than I wanted (192.00 shipped) to as I wanted the vintage quality, seller did note a few items were missing. Just received today, it's missing about 13 pieces, more than the seller let on, many of them the smaller I...
