Ideal Strippers & Klein Crimpers. Got this advise from an old timer retired from the marine electrical business.

To be honest, I haven't used it yet. I chose the 325 based on it's AC and DC capabilities and to use on the boat.

Thats a great price on a Craftsman 82369 - If I could have found one that cheap a couple of weeks ago, I would have bought it. Ended up spending more on a Fluke 325.

Ended up buying a Fluke 325 and a Mac Test light. The fluke will do all the AC stuff plus DC volts & current.

We ought to unionize!

The local Ace Hardware store has a lot of Made in USA Craftsman stuff on the shelf. I picked up these three nut drivers for hose clamps earlier in the week.

I spend between $100-200 dollars a month on Snap-Ons website. I realize thats a drop in the bucket compared to some of you guys but I don't find the website THAT horrible. It's slow, and somewhat cumbersome but I wouldn't go a far as saying it *****. Just my opinion.

Made in USA Craftsman nut drivers at the local Ace hardware store. Only bought three for hose clamps. I did notice that all the loose/individual combo wrenches they had for sale were also made in USA.

X2 I feel your pain

Stopped at the hardware store on the way home and grabbed a 1/4", 5/16" and a 3/8" Craftsman. Made in the USA none the less. I also ordered the flexable Tridon driver from Amazon that was recommended.

What are the most common size nut driver for hose clamps? I don't need a full set, just a couple for hose clamps on the boat - I am on the couch and the boat is 12 miles away so I can't just run down and check. I've always used screwdrivers in the past. I know some are 5/16" but I don't know...

We fish primarily striped bass, known as Rockfish here in MD and VA. We fish out of Deale, MD on the Chesapeake Bay. We also do some bottom fishing for croaker & perch if that's what the party wants to do. Season's closed until April - over the winter I am trying to build / rebuild our...

Forgive me if this is old news but it came a surprise to me. I ordered a 14 piece combo wrench set (1/4" - 1") from the Craftsman website for the charter boat. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a set of wrenches that will live in a salt-air environment and I fully expected them to be...

Thanks guys. I believe I am just going to go with a simple test light. Pi Guy, is 100% correct - the environment on the boat is pretty tough on tools, especially stuff like DMMs.

Not only their tools but their service as well. Bought a brand new, relatively high-end dish washer and had problems. Called the warranty number - Sears is the only one that can service it under warranty. The soonest they could schedule the repairs was 7 weeks! The dishwasher went back to...

What do you use on jet skis? As in what brand and model? What ever I buy will stay on the boat al year so I don't want to spend more than I need.
