I like the old Stanley power locks but don’t like they are not made in us anymore. I was building a deck last summer and bought several Milwaukee, dewalt, powerlock, etc just couldn’t find one I liked. The standout just makes it wider and working outside the wind catches it and flips it over...

Just bought a set of channel lock screwdrivers in torx. Found them for $9 on clearance at a local store. Couldn’t walk away at that price. I have some SK torx screwdrivers but as many as this set. Seem to be just as good or better than the SK. Anyone have experience with these??

I have some of their original regular screwdrivers. Bought them when I was 16 local old school hardware store with pressed tin ceiling said they were the best. I think he was right. 27 years later they are my favorite screwdrivers. Have a hex shaft all the way to the tip which is machined and...

Is there really any need for the 60 piece 1/4” set over the 48 piece?? Also everyone recommending the 12 pt 1/2” set I would think you want 6 pt for strength??

I have the 47 piece 3/8” drive socket set and love it. Looking for the 1/2 and 1/4 drive to match up with it. What is the best 1/2 and best 1/4 setthat SK makes to pair with this set? Second question I need spark plug sockets. Do you all prefer the flex spark plug sockets or straight?

I will let you know next week. I just ordered one in 3/8 along with a thumbwheel ratchet.

Ordered from chad’s half a dozen times in the last couple years. No issues whatsoever actually surprised to see negative feedback at all given my experiences. Bought all my nws pliers and irrega wrenches from them.

My new SK LP90 ratchet and SK 3/8 drive socket set. I have had only my giant set of us craftsman sets for the last 25 years. Never understood all the hate for the raised panel ratchets since that is all I have ever used. Now I understand after trying something different. I love the new SK...

Sorry I made a mistake I meant to say I have an MS 251 which has great power to weight ratio. I don’t see this one on the website not sure if it got discontinued. I know I still see them on the dealers shelves must not have sold them all yet. I got lucky and bought mine used on eBay for $200...

I would recommend the stihl ms151 if you can find one without all the tool less chain tightened and start assist. The reason I say this specific machine is it has the best ratio of engine cc’s to weight for a homeowner type saw. Would love to have the professional line just don’t use it enough...

Thanks for all the info. I bought some of the plastic craftsman racks. They work great only problem they were almost as expensive as what I paid for the sockets!! Luckily I had some points and free cash from sears. Got the sockets and they seem to be pretty good as well. Will get to check out...

Been looking for a decent socket set that will stay in the truck all the time. Wanted something decent quality and that I wouldn’t be upset if it got stolen. Then I stumbled on to the gearwrench sale on advance auto parts website. I was going for one of the big sets then just decided to settle...

I should have been more clear. I was wondering if you could put a dt80 upgrade kit in the 3/8 thumbwheel 45172. Or if they make a kit that will upgrade it.

I just picked up an lp 90 and a breaker bar for my SK socket set. I love it. It is really nice granted my only ratchets for the last 20 years have been all raised panel craftsman’s. Need to grease it a little the switch lever is a little tight but I am sure that will improve. Also just noticed...

I can confirm if you go into the store they are $14.91.

No I bought them anyway maybe I will use them sometime. They have lots more if you are interested.

Don’t really need any new screwdrivers. But on sale at sams 12 piece set for $14.91 can’t hardly say no.

To answer a few of the questions. I have a set of reversible gear wrench ratchet combination wrenches which I use a ton. The ratchets I have always just used the craftsman raised panel that came with my set. Never tried anything else. Considering the SK pear shaped ratchet to upgrade my...

I am in the process of upgrading my hand tools. I used to be a craftsman or nothing kind of guy but realizing all the new stuff is ****. Here is what I have. Screwdriver: I have an original set of Enderes I bought when I was 16 (about 25 years ago) that are still my favorite also have a full...
