Hopefully Lowe's, Home Depot or Menard's go do a deal with them -- and then publish that fact. Sometimes I wish a person would create a FB page or standalone website that was dedicated to "Bring back USA-manufactured Craftsman products" (like my father and grandfather have). I no longer buy...

And it's why I go through the shop every few months for an hour and use touchup paint and fix things. (and want to touchup this new/used machine I just had delivered) I used to not care years ago, but given all the customers/clients that visit my shop for highend projects -- it just makes it...

Just procured a new (barely used) 2011 Jet 14x40 metal gearhead lathe to update an old metal lathe I had after 8yrs of almost daily use. Did a search already but couldn't find: Anyone know of a quality touchup paint (it's the creamy white Jet color) that I need to cover up a few scratches that...

1953 is the year. Thanks for posting. Thank you. Local guy isn't much of a dealer. He no longer stops as I/we pay "cash" for tools. (seems he is only interested in "financing deals") Waiting almost 7 weeks now to get a screwdriver shaft replaced. I'll just stop at another dealer upcoming...

While digging through my grandfathers old toolbox from decades ago, saw a small 1/4 drive ratchet. It worked ok and took it home. Stripped off the orange electrical dip that was covering it and discovered it was an old Snap-on. (some still on it!) Just curious if anyone could identify the year...

PM sent on --> AFR58TM 88 tooth 1/4" ratchet (I'll take one if still available)

I like the links above -- have e-mails/phone calls out to learn more. Thx. Also anyone have an idea on the new GJ Alliance badge construction? Years ago did the etched black/brass tag thing but wondering how they did the red color here. (see picture) Might be a 2nd further option for myself...

Has anyone ever made a custom replacement toolbox badge -- looking for ideas to replace all the various versions in the shop that I have with my own name / branding. I hate stickers/vinyl/advertising on my boxes -- thus looking for ideas more creative that look like a true badge. Need to make...

Just at Sears Outlet store -- 50% off everything including toolboxes, etc. Starts Thursday 12.7.2011 at the Outlet stores only. There are some good deals to be had for the garage. Typically these stores have more stuff then what is listed online -- so you need to drive there to look.

received today via USPS. Nicely wrapped and bundled. As described. Thanks! :thumbup:
