    Craftsman Pre-block vs. block grinder?

    Hi all, Currently have a pre-block mailbox style and I love it. Picking up a newer block grinder today because the price is too good not to. Question: if I have to keep one - which one should it be? Why? My experience isn't much with these - I mostly use with a stone and wire wheel to...

    Channellock 337 @Walmart $7 YMMV

    Found two sets with the regular tools, no tag on the peg. Rang up $7, not shown on their website as being at that store. Maybe other Channellock stuff discontinued and sitting on WM shelves? On a minor side note - notice that 1/2" difference in how far the handles were dipped - is that...

    Quick feedback on SK warranty

    Just wanted to share (especially since this seems to ebb and flow through the years) about my great SK warranty experience. Sent in a broken socket and had it back in exactly 9 days from when I sent it in. Accounting for weekends and travel time they got it and sent out the new one within...

    Does anybody here have a 100% USA set of tools?

    I'm curious if anyone has a 100% made in US set of tools? I'm working at it - although I'm only a shade tree mechanic and home owner, so it is probably more feasible for me. Anyone do it? If not and you're trying, what is not made here (current or past) that would make it impossible. I just...

    Help with old Thorsen sets, what was in them?

    I picked up these two sets nearly sight unseen. I'm hoping there are saw Thorsen experts out there. The smaller set is number 1416. I know it is missing one socket. What is funny though, is on the 8pt sockets it lists 7/16" on the lid sheet, but the set has a 5/16" socket. Looking online I...

    SK screwdrivers - suregrip vs. cm pro style

    Lots of opinions on the board but searching I didn't find an exact comparison. So, what are your preferences and why on the smooth plastic Suregrip SK drivers versus the craftsman pro style SK drivers by Western Forge?

    Disappointed in SK Warranty (edit: customer service)

    A week ago I bought a brand new (apparently old stock) set of 4" pliers from Harry Epstein. I bought the last USA-branded set he had in the store (others were French) even though the USA set was missing the spring. Fast forward a few days and I send an email to SK support with a picture of the...

    My first trip to Harry Epstein

    Got to stop in Harry Epstein for the first time today. Unfortunately is was less than an hour and I was dragging my wife, sister, and mother. Other than that, WELCOME TO THE MECCA! Apparently they have four floors, although I am uncertain of what is on the others. I could have spent 2 hours...

    Advice on KRA59 value?

    Due to some car repairs I'm going to have to sell this top box. It is missing the handles and while it has the lock the 2 lock bars are missing (so it won't lock). Also has a small dent in on the left side. Mechanically works great. I'm thinking about throwing on CL for $250. Any opinions...
