I just purchased the 10amp saw, but I see there is a 12amp saw for just $10 more. I will not be using this professionally, but I do want quality tools. Is there much of a difference between the two? I've used underpowered tools in the past and I don't want something that doesn't really perform...

I'm seeing more and more of their power tools marked Made in USA. In fact I picked up both of these last night. One interesting thing I saw was that there were 2 available of the 1/2 Hammer drills. One new and the other was an older box. Exact same model numbers. The newer box was the Made in...

I purchased my new toolbox (36 inch wide top and bottom) and was considering getting 2 swivel casters to replace the 2 rigid ones. I want to place my toolbox in a corner next to the work bench and wall. I was able to slide my old box, however the new box is too heavy. I know there would be...

I ordered a 1 1/16 polished Craftsman Industrial combo wrench from Summit Racing. After 3 weeks on order I saw online that the order was cancelled yesterday. I chatted online with them and they told me it was discontinued from Sears and no longer available. I had a feeling this day would come...

Just noticed online that they are on clearance. Must be phasing those out..... Thought I would pass along in case someone wanted to grab them before they are gone....

Just got it today. Wasn't happy at first how the bottom's drawers worked. Seemed to have a additional closing detent of 1/2 an inch or so. Hated it since you couldn't open the drawer with one hand...... defeated the purpose of the grip latch drawers. Ended up finding there were rubber "boots" on...

Happened to go into our new Northern Tool store for the first time. I've never seen the Homak boxes before, but I was surprised at the quality for the price. I personally don't like the look or drawer layout of them, but as an entry level box, they make the Craftsmans look like garbage. The...

I see Home Depot is selling online only Armstrong Toolboxes. Looking online, and doing some GJ searching, it looks like the Armstrong Professional toolboxes are built by Waterloo. (or at least they look like it) Armstrong's Industrial line is partially sold by Home Depot. I see they are made in...

I'm looking at a KRA4008 online. I can't find what the drawer height is for the top and shallow drawers? Are they 4inch for the top and 2 inch exact for the 4 shallow drawers? (my current Craftsman box has 2 1/2 inch drawers which is just tall enough for my sockets, 2 inches even will be too...

I tried ordering the Craftsman Thin Profile ratchets to get the last of the USA stock. What was shipped was the new 84T Tiawan versions. I sent them back and purchased the Craftsman Industrial versions from Summit Racing. I have mixed views after firsthand handling both. I would have to say even...

Looking at getting a 3/8 torque wrench. I already have the 1/4 inch Gearwrench but saw on Amazon that I can get a CDI for only $10 more ($98 vs $108) I'm looking at getting the 10-100ft lbs size. My main use will be head bolts on my Yamaha YZ250f. They need to be torqued at 27ft lbs. Which...

Looking for 1/4 and 3/8 fixed rachet. Was going to order the craftsman thin profile (actually the Craftsman industrials) since the reviews here have been good but at $109 for both I thought I would look into it a little further, Especially after I looked at the Tiawan versions first hand I...

I've been curious if the 5/16 (8mm) 3/4 (19mm) and. 1 1/16 (27mm) wrenches are actually the exact same wrench just stamped different by manufactures or if some manufactures actually have a seperate mold for each to stay in an exact tolerance. I've got craftsman industrial wrenches and on...

Ordered Some Craftsman Industrial full polish wrenches last Friday. At that time they had estimated ship dates around 3 days after ordering. Just checked now on my order and it just shipped, but now they show all (doesn't matter what) wrenches having a estimated ship date of 9/29.. (Almost a...

The improvement of the Craftsman wrenches (I like to call them "Generation 2 Chinese" :) ) has made me think about future tool purchases. (Yes, I have been in the past a loyal Craftsman buyer up until they went overseas) If they get the quality back to where it was, would I still buy online to...

I was killing time in Sears and was looking in the wrench aisle. I looked down at a RP assortment and thought just by the heads of the wrenches that they still had old USA stock. I was shocked to see that it was indeed Made in China, however they look almost like the old USA versions. They...

When I disassembled the ratchet to lubricate, the detent bearing ball (if that's what you call it) popped out and is long gone.... Is there anything I can use is it's place or get one? Thanks

I see Grainger has the wrench sets on clearance. Might make a good last minute Christmas present!

Looking at getting a middle tool box. I've got my original bottom chest that I got 20 years ago. (it's the Quiet Glide) I got the Ball Bearing top box last year, the drawers do glide a lot better. Now looking at getting the matching middle box. I see now they have the Dynaglide boxes on sale...

I'm looking at getting a nice 1/2 drive breaker bar. SK has very high reviews that I've read, however they do comment that the bar will "bend" with high torque. Anybody else experience that and if that is an issue?
