I'm a very committed Craftsman tool (made in the USA only) fan, particularly of those with the =V= manufacturer's mark on them. Still, I have a few snap on tools that I acquired along the way. A couple were gifts, I found one, and another was mixed in with a few tools I inherited from my...

I'll start by saying that I'm just a DIYer. I'm serious about it, but I don't make a living turning wrenches. I have my share of sockets and can handle just about any job that requires a 1" socket or smaller. I have a few sockets that are larger than an inch, but I don't use them too often...

I enjoy tinkering with old Delta woodworking machinery from the 1940s and 1950s. I frequently run across Allen type socket head screws, particularly in the form of set screws that secure various pulleys to motor shafts, arbors, and spindles. There's always a few SAE Allen wrench sizes that I'm...

Today I was reading a thread about drill bits being sent in the mail and the package not being properly taped up, etc., etc. (By the way, I'm a Jeff Moss fan.) Anyway, it got me to thinking about a couple of drill indexes I recently bought from Huot Manufacturing Company in St. Paul...

It's no secret that Lowes has been eliminating its stock of Channellock and Knipex pliers/tools. I've been taking advantage of the savings on the Channellocks. My local Lowes sold out the Knipex stuff pretty fast. Even at reduced prices, the Knipex tools were still fairly expensive so I...

Very recently I had to make a simple lawnmower repair. I had to remove a 14mm wheel nut that was fairly tight on the axle. Most of the things I do around the house require SAE tools, so my metric tool arsenal is limited. I had a 3/8" drive standard depth 12 point socket, but knew I should...

I'm selling a new in the original package, made in the USA, Craftsman T-handle metric ball end hex key set. None of these tools have ever been used. The set includes six ball end keys (3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10mm) and one standard key (2.5mm). I will send this set in a padded envelope anywhere in the...

Just the very existence of this website means that those who visit here must have at least a casual interest in machinery (wood working, metal working, etc.) Is there one machine that you use in your home shop or work place that you truly enjoy using or can't live without? Mine is a 1952 Delta...

I know that many of the members and visitors to the Garage Journal come here for more reasons than I could ever list. I'm sure the population consists of professional craftsman and techs, to relatively skilled DIYers, and those who are just figuring out tools and getting started. To some...

I bought these used Craftsman hose clamp pliers a little while back. I've been using them and they work fine. I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me approximately how old they are. There's no patent number or any real identifying marks on them. The handles just say "Craftsman" and...

I'm looking for a Craftsman double box end wrench, 11/16" x 13/16", with the =v= (not -v-) manufacturer's mark. A used wrench is fine and expected. No prior owners marks or initials please. Send me a PM if you have a used, but not abused, wrench to sell. Thanks. Jim C.

A little while back I acquired a couple Craftsman raised panel wrenches that were sized in 32nd increments. One of those wrenches looks a little older than the other one. I noticed that the wrench on the bottom in the photos below has no hash marks (=) before the "C" nor after the "N."...

Several years ago, I was using a gasoline powered weed wacker to trim around the plant beds at my house. A few days earlier, I laid several yards of mulch in all the beds. While using the weed wacker, the line hit a chunk of mulch and it flew up into my face, hitting me directly in the left...

A few weeks ago I posted in a thread concerning "binge" tool buying. During the last couple months, I've been on a Channellock kick that I think has subsided for the moment. For years, prior to my recent "BHB" (Blue Handled Binge), I owned only two Channellock tools, the #442 (far left) and...

I'm looking for a few (NON laser etched) Craftsman sockets. I'm only interested in the older STAMPED versions. Here's what I'm looking for: 3/8 drive, regular depth, 1/4", 6 point 3/8 drive, regular depth, 7/8", 12 point 3/8 drive, regular depth, 15/16", 12 point 3/8 drive, regular depth, 1"...

This is an easy one. I'm looking for a Craftsman 1 1/16" 12 point box, combination wrench. Please describe its condition, and quote me a price including shipping to Illinois. Thanks. Jim C

I know that Craftsman makes some open end ignition wrenches that come in smaller sizes of 32nd increments and a raised panel combination wrench that's 11/32". What I'm really looking for are Craftsman open end, raised panel, wrenches that were 19/32" and 21/32". I recently purchased a...
