    Craftsman stainless rollaways

    yeah I think they're more like clearcoated bare steel. I've seen reviews that say they'll rust in humid environments.

    GM Goodwrench tools

    I can't speak for the new ones sold at *marts and O'reilys but I've got a 1/4 and 3/8 drive socket set I bought at Sams Club years ago, I think it was my first real "set" They're USA made, very nice quality and never broken one. I still carry them under the seat of my pickup as a emergency...

    Craftsman 14 Drawer 40" Quiet Glide - Shoddy Quality rant

    so you bought a damaged box on clearance... and then you're shocked to find out its damaged? :lol_hitti I bought a 52" combo a few years ago, the top box was twisted and one corner was wrinkled up, clearly it had been dropped. I took it back and exchanged it for a new one, while I was still...

    Tool Trucks, why?

    We actually tried that a few years ago, he said we'd just have to meet him at the chrysler dealer down the road. Did that once or twice but then he was busy BSing with the mechanics down there that he wouldn't hardly talk to me. Granted this could be a case of the guy just being a jerk... I...

    Tool Trucks, why?

    The tool trucks are really convenient to the dealer mechanics I guess, but at the same time that system usually makes independent mechanics and shade tree guys choose another brand. Since my business doesn't employ a dozen mechanics each wanting to buy 50 grand in tools, the snap-on guy wont...

    PB Swiss Amazon question

    ah ok, I didn't know the whole story between the two companies... but if they can't replace the defective tool I'm sure they'd refund the OP's money, even months later, if it hasn't been used. Never had any dealings with PB Swiss but they don't sound like much of a company if they treat...

    PB Swiss Amazon question

    I just checked amazon, they're still selling a ton of PB Swiss stuff :dunno: A huge retailer like amazon has more pull with the manufacturer than we as individuals do... and amazon will bend over backwards to keep a customer. I'd almost bet amazon would refund or exchange the tool if he emails...

    Sears can be so stupid sometimes

    I haven't had good luck with the mail in tool exchange. We've got a tiny sears store that doesn't stock individual tools at all, so anytime you try to exchange a broken tool there they want to mail it off... more times than not you'll never get a replacement tool and now you don't even have the...

    PB Swiss Amazon question

    I'd get back in touch with amazon and tell them the manufacturer is not responding to emails. I had a similar issue with a KD Tools oil filter wrench, I ordered by the part number on the same wrench I had but broke, the new one that came had the right part number but was a different size tool...

    Creeper?

    Agreed! Once you use a bone creeper you'll never want to use anything else. The original bone or the new bonester are both very nice. They'll roll over cracks, chunks of gravel or anything else on the floor with ease. I'd also highly recommend their rolling seat, the tailbone. All 100%...

    Specialty Tools you're Used More than expected?

    Thanks for the quick reply! :beer: I've been thinking about it for awhile but I think ya just talked me into buying one now that I'm sure it'll work on our trucks with a few modifications. We've got 2 nearly due for coolant change.

    Specialty Tools you're Used More than expected?

    I've always wondered if the Airlift will work on semi's, What modifications did you have to do to make it work?
