Very cool, thanks! :cool: FWIW: Here's a visual comparison, of new china-made Craftsman set, currently sold by local Sears as #42013 vs. NOS "Professional" USA #42013...

Thanks, good call, on being wary of “In-Stock, pick-up today”, online... I believe, I've had a similar experience. :thumbup: That said, I can't always confirm, what the package tells me, before buying. ;)

Ah, thanks! So, to confirm... NOS Craftsman "Professional" set #42013 was made by SK in USA but new Sears #42013 is China made...?

Thanks! Was all Professional branding made in USA, when alive? SK is cool! :thumbup: Which set are you referring to as "those particular wrenches"... NOS "Professional" or new Sears?

Hello all, Shopping for NOS Craftsman "Professional" USA MM Flare Nut Wrench Set 5 pc. #42013, like set in pic. I understand, most new Craftsman is made in China but I thought Craftsman "Professional" is/was made in USA. I see both Craftsman & Sears websites have a #42013 but neither...

Thanks! I've been under the front, a bit lately, didn't notice anything unusual but then again...wasn't looking. Where, exactly did you find the front subframe rust?

Thanks! The feeling I'm getting is, that seems to be the general consensus.

Yeah, definitely too close to coast...:wtf: What would you use to scrape the rust off? FWIW, I've got this ^^^ Polycarbide Abrasive Wheel. Also have rust remover called "Naval Jelly", which I was thinking I could use as alternative to your Rustbullet or POR, suggestions. I'm OK, at diy...

Thanks! No welding experience and/or equipment, whatsoever but I agree that I need to begin to remove the damaged area, to really see what's going on. That said, what about using something like this Polycarbide Abrasive Wheel, to remove the flaking paint & rust? FWIW: Checking with Honda...

The rest of the car also signs of rust, paint loss and deterioration of clear coat, too...But, nothing, as bad as above rear d/s tire. That said, these 2 pics show the worst of what I can see, of the rest of the car....So far.

Hello all, The ole’ 96 civic ex is showing her age with body paint rust, the worst of which is above rear d/s tire. Is this worth trying to repair, or would you replace entire panel? If worth trying to repair, what would you use to remove the bubbling paint & rust?

Hey there, Perry... Thanks, for the post! I tried to Private Message you but not sure, if it went thru. I'm building on, my father's old craftsman USA that he left me, when he passed away in 2003. My signature, below, shows the flare nut wrenches I'm looking for, to finish a current project...

My experience, so far...Got the 189? piece Benchtop ratchet & socket, NEW, from KMart, back in the day. Rust has enveloped all 1/2" 12pt sockets, which I've never used as well as, several 3/8" sockets, plus sockets will NOT lock onto the 1/4" ratchet. Called the Kmart 1-866-Kmart4U, they...

Agree! Agree! Agree! And, make with American steel. :thumbup:

Interesting how the AP fact check article is from today, as opposed to WSJ article from 5 months ago. Also, I believe, WSJ is currently owned by News Corp i.e. Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox News Channel, so I don't have as much trust in WSJ, as I once did.

Yeah, don't know what "Snopes" is. Source? Um, see >>> "(AP)"...As in Associated Press, from today... :thumbup: https://apnews.com/fa464738b4744c9abdd9d757aa1538a9/AP-FACT-CHECK:-Trump-says-US-Steel-opening-mills.-Not-so.

You're welcome!

FWIW, not so sure about that... WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is crediting his tariffs with persuading U.S. Steel to open a half dozen new plants. That's not so. TRUMP at a Pennsylvania rally Thursday night: "U.S. Steel is opening up seven plants." On Tuesday, he told supporters in...
