Went shopping with the wife today and I swung into sears to check for any Good sale prices. All I found was junk tools like dog bone **** on sale really. But I did see some of the plastic wrench modules with the ugliest RP Wrenches sure enough the first three of the 8 or 9 sets there said...

Kab is not part of the part number it just means a new generation Probably means they changed something in manufacturing. Not where it was made but how. Plus the ratchet he was talking about was the premium not the RP in the ratchet test. I believe the premium Ratchets are basically Armstrongs...

They did I have a boxed 3/8 and 1/2 socket set I got from Al's Auto supply when I worked there in 90 or 91 they had TAT Taiwan on the sockets and ratchets and they were Thorsen Allied tools.

Montgomery Wards also had a lifetime battery for a short time. And I don't think that Costco warranty is right or where that guy in the article came up with that I buy alot of batteries from Costco and just had one pro rated on under warranty it's not a month by month thing it drops percentage...

Got my second 10 pc set today and my second 18 pc set Two days ago all USA. :)

Already done. Thanks Just a day late and a dollar short. Story of my life.

This ***** I missed the 18 pc Craftsman wrench modules for 49.99 because I was subscribed to the old thread not this new format thread. Not sure I like this.

There are coupons out for 699.99 for the 56 inch box. Find one in a magazine on the newsstand take it back to the store with your reciept and ask for them to price match it. Save a hundred bucks and never pay full price for anything at harbor freight if you can. At least the big things do some...

You can use the 20% coupon on sale prices but you can't use two coupons. And the haven't allowed 20% off coupons to be used on tool boxes for over a year. :(

That's the cheapest I've seen them in years ever since they're prices started creeping up. I bought a set about 6 or 8 months ago for the same price.

Probably low war time production most manufacturing in the U.S. Switched to producing specifically for the war. How many 42,43,44,45 chevy ford or dodges have you seen?:beer:

Easy, lock ring pliers. I've got craftsman for heavy duty ones and Bluepoint for light duty rings.

Yep any Craftsman hand tool has a Lifetime warranty. When you take it in they don't know if you bought it in a "kit" or not. Problem with the Kmart or Ace thing is they usally have a limited selection of tools. Not a lot of individual tools.:(

Actually they dont make home balancers that do a very good job balancing. A cheap bubble balancer doing a static balance is not the same as one giving a dynamic spin balance. Maybe 40 years ago balancing a bias ply tire that wont see over 70mph. I have a hand tire machine and bubble balancer but...

PM sent. Thanks
