Cool, thanks. I was curious why there is a difference between the dies needed for an insulated terminal versus a heat shrink terminal (granted, I've never taken a good look at both up close so it could be obvious in person)

So, I've spent the last 6 or 7 days reading just about every thread on here I could find about ratchet crimpers and had a couple questions for those with the Tool Aid crimpers. I've been looking at picking up the 4/ 6 or 9 die sets. 1). Is there a heat shrink die set for it? Could you use one...

Thanks for all the ideas. I decided to pick up a torque wrench case on ebay for a couple bucks and I'm gonna cut out the tool molding and throw some foam in. I'll let you know how it goes

Thanks everyone. I lost track of this thread since I thought I would get new email notifications but wasn't and came back to find a full page worth of replies :) I ended up stumbling across the Cases by Source and that site seems pretty awesome in terms of searching and such. I had thought...

Living in an apartment my tool storage options are limited so I've been trying to find some empty blow mold cases that I could put foam into to make 'custom' tool storage cases but I'm having issues finding a good source of these. I know most people here either toss the cases or put them in...

You do if you want to post a thread stating what you are looking for (as far as I remember, I haven't tried in a while)

I would but it's difficult now with the new 100 post limit (I read the forums a lot, but post a lot less)

I'm leaning towards it being a #5 Type 9: http://www.georgesbasement.com/mfno135typestudy/No5Type9.htm I'd like to clean it up. It looks like it's missing the big handle on the backside and the chuck seems to have some issues. I couldn't get it tight on anything and when loosening the chuck the...

Ahh awesome, I tried looking around for some markings originally but didn't see anything. Checked out the crank handle and looks like its a No 5

Hey, doing some cleaning with my parents today and came across what looks to be a Millers Falls hand drill. I'm not sure exactly which one it is though. I thought it might be a #2 It works pretty well but I can't get the chuck to grab anything too tightly. I've been checking out this massive...

This also ***** in terms of the warranty since I'd rather not trade in my USA made tools for some made in China stuff

Ya, over the last several years I've been scooping up any deals I can find on USA craftsman stuff so I have a "complete" set (although you never really have a "complete" toolset though :p) of the hardline tools (sockets, extensions, breaker bars, wrenches and ratchets). I even picked up some RP...

That's a bummer

I believe the industrial line is just the old pro line with industrial stamped on them, but still made in the USA. Interesting about the online stuff. I've pretty much given up ordering some stuff from sears online since they don't list the COO on the website much of the time and I'd expect to...

Ya, my local ace is a super mom and pop shop and most of what they have that's still made in the usa is random single old stock. They even have the individual pieces that made up the craftsman pawless ratcheting wrench sets (42444 and 42445). I've been locking to pick up the flex head ratchets...

Over the last few years I've been trying fill in some tool gaps with as much Craftsman stuff as I can before it's all made overseas but it seems like it may be too late. I stopped by my local Ace and Sears store and nearly everything I saw was made in China (some of the random stuff I checked)...

Hey, I have a 2 PI split beam torque wrenches (which are awesome) that cover me from 10-250ft pounds. I was looking at getting something to cover the lower end as well as some slight overlap with my 10-50ft pound wrench. Anyone use the M1R200HX? Thoughts? It has a range of 30-200 inch pounds...

Haha, don't worry about it bare. I got an email with a great deal on that and just wanted to share. That does look like a pretty feature rich kit. The FX-888D looks like a kids toy haha

Like the title says, the WES51 (non digital version) is on sale for 78 bucks. Pretty much the cheapest I've ever seen that. I have one of these and it's pretty nice.

It looks like the current version of the c3fr250f has a blue coating on the handle and is square and the older version just used a simple round metal grip. I was just curious if anyone had any opinions on the two? I ask because I thought I saw somewhere people generally preferred one or the...
