I’ve recently been selling of my 15+ year collection of Craftsman USA tools and upgrading to SK. I spent countless hours over the past several years searching classifieds, eBay, driving hundreds of miles away to hit Ace Hardware stores... it finally just hit me not that long ago that I have an...

So pictures of these DeWalt USA Made Screwdrivers appeared on ToolGuyD maybe a couple of years ago. There are a couple of small 5 or 6 Pc. sets available on eBay. This comprehensive set just showed up on eBay for $200+. They appear to be made in the same factory as the Proto and MAC Duratek...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed the prices of Carlyle Tools appear to have been marked down? I’m not talking sale prices either. The regular price of most of their items seems to be cheaper. For example, the 24 piece long combination wrench set used to be $259. Now it’s $169.36...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/CRAFTSMAN-3-8-DRIVE-SMOOTH-FINE-TOOTH-RATCHET-44995-THIN-PROFILE-L-AG-CHROME-US/173958858201?epid=691159547&hash=item2880c185d9:g:b3wAAOSwZ6ddJDzQ Ran across this ******** on eBay. The seller literally threw a “MADE IN USA” sticker over the back of the ratchet and...

I’ve been a lifelong Craftsman guy. The majority of my tools are Craftsman USA, but I’m ready for an upgrade. My buddy has a comprehensive 3/8” drive SK socket set in a green blow mold case. It was a gift from his step brother. I’ve used it quite a few times while helping him work on cars and I...

Hey all! WTB: Looking to complete my double box end wrench set and I am looking for a Craftsman double box end wrench, 13mm x 15mm #42957, USA made with the VA markings (V, inverted V). Please let me know if you can help. Thanks.

First, let me start off by saying... I’m not interested in owning Snap-On or Harbor Freight... or GearWrench. This is strictly a mental struggle between two brands. So, I don’t necessarily have brand loyalty, but 85% of my tools are Craftsman. Of that 85%, the majority are USA made and were...

Hey guys! Does anyone happen to know around what year Craftsman Professional wrenches went from being manufactured/sold by SK to Danahar? Same questions regarding the change from black handle Professional screwdrivers to the red/black handles. And same question regarding basic Craftsman...

Has anyone seen these yet or know if they’re available in-stores? https://www.dewalt.com/products/hand-tools/screwdrivers-and-hex-keys/6-piece-combination-screwdriver-set/dwht60117

So I’m getting ready to do a tune-up and some other general 100,000 mile maintenance to my Dodge Challenger. I will need new torque wrenches as my Craftsman’s won’t cut it. I currently own the micro-clicker (or whatever the hell they’re called) round head torque wrenches and they’re complete...

There was a thread going awhile back regarding the new brands Harbor Freight was carrying. Hercules 20V power tools, Doyle plies, Bremen, etc... Now, I’m an old Craftsman USA guy. I also appreciate my DeWalt, MAC and Carlyle tools which in my opinion are top quality... but a recent trip to...

So I was cleaning up for the evening and went to lock my tool chest and the lock fell out, landing on the inside of the chest and all of these little pins and springs fell out. It’s a Craftsman Heavy Duty Premium Black top box with the tubular style lock/key. Is that repairable or am I SOL? Is...

I found a a vintage MAC portable tool box for sale locally. It appears to be from the 70’s or 80’s. It’s red, has two drawers with gray mats inside the drawers that appear to be original. The chrome badges and handles are in excellent shape. It’s in good condition except for a good amount of...

I apologize if this isn’t allowed here. If anyone’s in the market for a nice quality grease gun, the Craftsman Pro Air Continous Flow grease gun is on sale right now at Sears for $17 and change + tax. Normally $59.99. It doesn’t say online, but two of my local stores have them on sale. After...

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this or been to Sears lately, the clear handle screwdrivers made by Western Forge are going bye bye, just as the pliers and nut drivers did. Most Sears locations have had trouble keeping open stock single screwdrivers for the past few months. Went in this evening...

I was at Menard's this evening and found a pair of these with the curved needle nose. A further look online revealed an entire line of these pliers. Menard's apparently only carries the one model (#1773598). It was a bit pricey at $7 and some change, but they are the nicest precision pliers I...

Hey everyone, Does anyone know the real reason why the 2016 Craftsman Industrial line never made it to fruition? They advertised the revamped line on their website, featuring all new redesigned ratchets and wrenches... Oddly enough, if you look on eBay and in the completed listings section...

I'm sorry if this has been posted already but I couldn't find it on here... This story from Channellock came across my Facebook last night, thought it was interesting and really cool! Defending Red, White, and CHANNELLOCK BLUE® "We’re proud of our pliers and the American workers who make...

Hey everyone, I'm new here. Been lurking for awhile and decided to join. Anyway, my question is related to screwdrivers. I'm curious why most quality manufacturers appear to have replaced the old square hard handle designs in favor of Tri-Lobe (I believe that's what it's called)? From an...
