Is that an XKE hiding under there?

What's the number on the handle?

Thank you, I totally missed that thread.

Have any of you ever done a sewing machine? My wife inherited her mom's Singer and I'm debating on doing a complete teardown.

Some of you guys are actually true artists at your craft.

I saw a Snap On truck yesterday by a Great Bear auto shop that's close to my house. I wanted to stop, but I don't know or use the shop and have never dealt with the driver/owner of the truck. I wanted to pick up a few wrenches that I need that I don't want to buy from their online store hoping...

Interesting, thank you.

This turned out amazing!

A lot of eBay sellers sell Snap-On tools (new or used) at or above the selling price. If something is no longer available or "vintage", they seem to raise the prices. Not every old tool is collectable or vintage.

Has anyone seen or used these? It seems gimmicky to me. Angle Socket Wrench

This is great, I'm looking for something stout, but just to move stuff between my garage and driveway when i'm doing small repairs.

I wonder how many people have no clue that Craftsman was no longer made in the USA. I honestly had no clue because I haven't been in the market for their type of tools in a long time.

Understood, but my point was that these brands, S-K, Channel Lock, Klein were all sold in small local hardware and specialty shops across the nation. Why is it so hard to believe that a US made brand like S-K wouldn't fair well in todays big box stores?

I guess I grew up in a different time than a lot of you guys. Back in the late 70's early 80's you could find S-K tools for sale in local hardware stores and bicycle shops. The same went for Channel Lock and Klein. To date, most people from my era still call tongue & groove straight jaw pliers...

Is that ammo in the counter to the left?

Have you tried Grainger? They carry a lot of SK stuff.

Same thing here. I thought it was because my order was only for 1 replacement socket that I lost and wasn't a big enough order for them to send out shipping confirmation.

I agree that soon is relative, but in an industry where a company made its name making US Made tools for the home mechanic... I would say that time is of the essence. People trusted the Craftsman name and have since switched to other manufacturers that produce US Made quality product. The longer...

I agree, I'm all over the place on my tools. My Lineman's pliers are Klein, vise grips are Peterson, Dykes are Klein, Pipe wrenches are Proto, Schick, Trimo, Rigid... and bunch of Channel lock, SK and Craftsman stuff as well to fill in the stuff I just named...

Isn't Craftsman now owned by Stanley Black and Decker?
