    Rearranging Drawer Configuration on Craftsman Griplatch

    I tried finding an old thread or two on this but came up short. Has anyone rearranged their drawer configuration on a Craftsman Griplatch top or bottom chest? The manual states that the rivets holding the slides to the main box structure can be drilled out in order to move the drawers around...

    Craftsman Pro vise (China) vs. vintage Craftsman (Japan)

    Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase a vise in the 4" size range and was wondering which of the two (new Pro China import or vintage Japan) would be the preferred way to go. If I can find a good price on a vintage USA vise I'll go that route, but I have a line on a Craftsman Pro now. I know it's an...

    Real close to ditching my SAE stuff...

    I know it's been talked about before, I just feel like beating a dead horse. I was tinkering in the garage this afternoon and was a bit shocked/irritated at the amount of space my SAE tools are taking up. My frustration was made even worse when I added up the time those tools have spent doing...

    Hi all. Been looking at picking up a set(s) of deep offset box wrenches in both metric and sae. I considered Craftsman, but I don't like the limited size ranges. So, I considered something from one of the European brands like Beta and Facom but they look very similar to the Toptul offerings...

    Deep sockets with a shallow broach - problem?

    Hi guys, Just wondering, do deep sockets with an internal shoulder pose a significant clearance problem? I am talking about how some deep sockets have the interior hex shape broached almost to the bottom while others only go part way. I guess I'm just wondering why some do it one way while...

    Has anyone purchased the "new" SK stuff?

    Hi everyone, Was wondering if anyone has actually purchased anything from SK since the relaunch. I have a few loose sockets I picked up shortly before the bankruptcy and the quality is so-so.

    Made in the USA?

    So, I read a lot of posts on here about USA this and China that, but I have a question that has been bugging me since a post I made about MAC tools. If a "made in USA" tool is actually made with "global" components but basically just finished here in the states, how can it really be made in the...

    Hose Pinch Pliers

    I have a $50 gift card for Sears and I am thinking about adding a set of hose pinch pliers to my toolbox. Sears sells two versions, one made of metal and the other of plastic. The metal versions look like they might do less potential damage to a hose, but they are also kind of bulky. Are they...
