LOL, ohhh. I will need to investigate! well...they look top notch!

Do any of you have the new SK combo ratcheting wrenches I see on the home page? They look nice

Yeah, I am sure you guys are right. I think I will. Someone mentioned chrome on the SK was pretty good. Do you guys all agree or do you feel like they’re all pretty good chrome? My chrome Craftsman from the '90s do not seem particularly durable...do you guys concur or are 90's Craftsman similar...

I will look at Armstrong. Great, now my nights will be occupied on tool web pages :lol_hitti

good points, thanks! I agree. The other day I bought Husky C-clamps cause I was desperate. Then I didn't need them ASAP so I brought them back. After reading forums on here, I am proud to say I am the new owner of many vintage ebay C-clamps!! I enjoy looking up the names...some of which do not...

Are most places no questions asked? In the past, I have returned Craftsman for reasons most would not because I am nit picky.

LOL, good point! Good idea about schools. Not sure I can make time at the moment, but good idea. I want to focus on welding course if I make any time for something. I have lots of Park bike tools too!

Thanks for your time. I am going to investigate Wright. After some thought, I realize I might as well just mix-match stuff. Not like I am getting paid to represent! Do you guys like Craftsman USA stuff? I have quite a bit. However, I am not doing bigger machinery and that is why I am searching...

I will look at video later, thanks. I am confused on what you meant about resto's and Wright tools?

I hadn't thought of Armstrong. I guess I have seen them online and didn't think much. Do they seem nice in person? Are they known to have any particular good niche?

Yes! I have Klein stuff. I use to live in Meadville, PA ....home of channel lock! even some channel lock is foreign :(

Good info. You think black oxide is not a good choice? I just wanted something different, no particular reason. I should probably look into more used stuff...I just hate to get junk. I take pretty good care of my stuff and if I get used it would have to be places like ebay. Have any of you had...

Thanks everyone. I think I will just get a mix of brands! Does anyone have some favorite mail-order places to use? Are there any threads you can direct me to that delineate some of the best types of tools each company is known for? I know some of you already kind of did so above. Give me a...

Great, thanks. I am not as familiar with Williams or Wright. I should look at them too. The more I look into SK, seems like they have great heritage. Maybe I should not be so hung up on all one brand. Do you think these brands are American stable? I feel like I don't trust Proto...but I have...

Hey everyone! I love all tools but need some new stuff. I know there are many threads on this topic but couldn't find some of the comments I was hoping for. I feel betrayed and let down by Craftsman. It is my understanding the main American made players are Snap-on, SK, and Proto, more or...

That kind of looks like what I am talking about. It has one centered head. The table looks the same

Thank you very much for the response... So if they look to be in good shape than they should be good ones? Also, I think it is a legitimate large table that is stock with this one. You have concern over the morse reducers and column length? Anyone with an idea of the fair market price of the...

Can someone please tell me if this is a good drill press. It has a large table as you can see below. Clausing Drill Press 20" variable speed model 2287 serial # 525854 150-2000 rpm 1.5 HP, 3 phs #2 morse taper 65" column 36" max ht table to spindle 31 x 84 " table How about this one? Walker...
