    Need some info on a Craftsman and Matco ratchet

    Hi Fellas So today I stopped at an old engines show that has a very large flea market, and there were just buckets of old tools. So 63 bucks lighter I am here’s what I got: All Craftsman is Easco or Moore, a partial USA Kobalt set, a Cornwell extension, and a Barcalo set. But I got an old...

    I like the dipped as well but it looks like its molded. I don’t think the pliers or sockets/wrenches/ratchets are Made in USA, as well as some screwdrivers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Weight wont be an issue, the drawers can support plenty of weight. I had considered the plywood with dowels, as looks dont matter at all in this box, its purely for work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Compact Wrench Organisation

    Hi All, Im sure this has been covered a billion times on here, so sorry about that. But... I have a Craftsman 26” box in the barn that I need to organise my large wrench sets in, the ones I use for tractor/log splitter/wood chipper maintenance. I dont want to have to spread them out in...

    Armstrong is owned by Apex, and so were its facilities. Thats a nice thought and I would love to see it, but I dont think its an option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    I remember awhile back I did a comparison of some Craftsman wrenches all Made in USA. I recall one of the 14mm wrenches was a lobster claw, not sure when it was made. Goes to show variation in manufacturing processes and date ranges. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    That makes absolutley no sense. If I bought a notebook that was Made in USA from Walmart or Amazon, how am I buying from China? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    In that case, you are like most people. Most homeowner/DIYers dont care about COO battles, they just want a good tool at a good price. I made a post earlier comparing Sears boxes to SBD boxes, that one might add some more insight to this. I cant attest to the quality of the hand tools until...

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    To put it simply, there are limits as to how far I will go with USA made. On the topic of air compressors, many are assembled here, and those are the ones I will likley purchase. But the only ones made here 100% to my knowledge are Quincy, and those are over $10000 and as a general user theres...

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    Personally I agree with this. I dont warranty tools because I dont break tools, and I dont buy super high end to begin with. If I have a job that I dont have the right tool for, I buy the right damn tool. But if I was someone who bought high end Snap On tools, I would definitley want a...

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    Guess I should clarify more. SBD was sourcing almost everything (excluding boxes) from Sears sources, accept their gunmetal socket sets. Those were made in Taiwan and sourced from SBD. IMO, the boxes they have now dont look a darn thing different from what was on the floor in Sears, just a...

    Craftsman from China - really that bad?

    Guess so, but Ive heard Snap Ons warranty is horrendous, and im sure Snap Ons name doesnt hurt its price either. Like I said, Im no pro so it all seems like a waste to me, but its different for the pros. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
