    Tool Dilemma need some advise

    Also, find out what it costs to ship your nice KRL home once you finish working over seas too - that maybe free or may cost a ton depending on your contracting company... And as others have mentioned - thank you for serving our country. Semper Fidelis

    Tool Dilemma need some advise

    IF you have the cash to buy it now and you don't have any other major expenses that you were saving the cash for - go for it. HOWEVER, the interest you would pay from SO or any of your credit cards will not make it worthwhile to get it now and pay for an eternity, PLUS the hassle to part out...

    Craftsman Dual-Marked Socket sets - gone?

    I was browsing through Sears.com and I don't see their socket sets offered in dual marking... the only ones that were still dual-marked were impact sockets. I thought this set in particular was dual marked at one time but now it is only laser etched...

    Where to get affordable wrench roll / wraps / vinyl or cloth holders?

    I have been taking a bunch of tools to work (not a mechanic by trade just doing some wrenching for some guys at work) and I need some suggestions on how to carry/protect/organize my combination wrench sets. I have been wrapping them up in towels and rolled up towel in a bucket and off I go but...

    Flex reversible ratcheting wrench set or regular reversible ratcheting wrench set?

    Cost not being an issue (because I want to know which is better or used more or longer lasting NOT which is cheaper in price) Would you get a regular reversible ratcheting combination wrench set or a flexible end reversible ratcheting combination wrench set? Why? Brand is not so important...

    Is this a genuine snap on box?

    You can get the boxes new with a full size side cabinet for less than 2,000. So if the tools aren't all that then I'd pass. (not that it's a bad box but I would buy it new myself if I had that cash available). Check out strictlytoolboxes.com for a nice Montezuma set or Qualitytoolsforless...

    My personal experience has been that Li-Ion are lighter, smaller, charge faster, last longer, and hold their charge better when not in use than my other Ni-Cad and NiMH tools... down side is initial cost but performance and longevity sure to seem to compensate just fine :) (it should be...

    Cripe distributing heads up

    Exactly. I buy and then ask for a total for all my items with combined shipping before I pay. No preference on shipping method they've sent via ups and usps and always been great for me.

    Cripe distributing heads up

    FWIW - my orders have always arrived within 4-5 days at the most, well packaged and very reasonably priced for combined shipping (I always reach out to them before paying to mention combined shipping pricing and wait for a final price - then pay and a few days later I get a nice big box :) )
