Just realized today that I have several brands, all Danaher (sans a few SO and SK), hadn't really given it any though until now..

My local Sears does NOT honor warranty, and will send you 70 miles to the closest one that will. Go ahead and flush Craftsman down the drain. I'm looking to Lowes and Kobalt for my cheap mechanics tools.

I have a BE 1/4" ratchet, but I'm not sure I could part with it.

Looks like I saved $55 over combined retail, I'll chalk it up as a success.

Definitely grab that if you have the space.

I ended up going with GearWrench for my mobile bag, as they are all I could warranty here and used a promo code to save almost 50%.. Got 1/8"x3", 1/4"x1-1/2", 1/4"x4", 5/16"x6", 3/8"x8" slotted, #1x3", #2x1-1/2", #2x4, #3x6" phillips, #1, #2, 3/16", 1/4" low clearance offset, and T30x4" for...

The GearWrench stubby screwdrivers rang up at $0.05 at my local Advance, I don't know about any others. They still display $6.19 online, might be worth a shot?

I hadn't looked at Klein, but I don't have anywhere to warranty those around here. Basically, for local warranty, my choices are Craftsman, GearWrench, and whatever Ace stocks.. I can get some GW at a decent price, any reviews? I should note that these will be used over 30+ feet of water at...

I passed up a killer deal on some C-man Pros whilst looking at the SK set I have a few Blue Point drivers that are set into the Snap-On Instinct handle at work (weird, I know..a Mercury Marine promo), and I don't really care for the handle (older style). Not to mention Snap-On is out of my...

No opinions?

I'm looking at picking up some screwdrivers for my bag, I currently use Stanley **** that bugs me to no end. I'm looking at Toptul and SK (should be an obvious choice, right?) I can piece together a 13 pc. Toptul set for what I would pay for an 8pc. of the SK Expert 2.. Does anyone have...

there isn't a . big enough for this post /thread

The impact exploded the socket and sent shrapnel into the guys arm as he was tightening..

I've seen a guy nearly lose his arm because he was using chrome on an impact. Not a very good idea, quite an extensive amount of surgery to get all the shrapnel out. Flaking chrome shrapnel is about the last thing you'd want in your flesh.

Sorry to drum up old news, but, you can't be serious! I own Matco tools and was looking into picking up an entire 1/4 set (piecing together), but this completely flips the script. I'd rather buy new Craftsman if this is the case.. Very sad to see...
