Yeah when I first got into using handbooks everyday, I was told they were on par with Snap-On and the like. Boy, was I wrong.

so when I first started in the shipyard, I bought most of my tools from Sears thinking Craftsman was top of the line. One of the things I bought was a alignment too and punch set, one of which is a 1/8" punch. Friday at work, I used it for the first time in almost a year of owning it and...

I'd feel bad to a point. Like it's been said before, kind of depends on who the seller is. If they know what they have, then yeah, I don't feel bad. But if it's someone who just honestly doesn't know, I'll throw in some extra, within reason, if I have it. But I usually don't take much more than...

That's cool. You work in one of the shipyards?

Cause bolt size determines How much torque the bolt can handle. It might be rated at 1100 ft/lbs on a 5/8ths bolt. But 1100 ft/lbs might snap a 1/2 inch bolt, so you can really get a rating from that. That's be my guess.

I have 3 Crescent brand "crestaloy?" adjustables that stay in my bag and go with me on every job. An 8, 10, and 12 inch. They say "Made in USA" on the handle too.

I'll have to take a picture tomorrow, but it's a brand new in the package. Armstrong 1 1/8" long combo wrench. Almost felt bad buying it for $17.50. Seller didn't know what he had.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, y'all. Where at in Chesapeake are you located? I thought Gearwrench was subpar to craftsman, sort of like a cheaper version. I guess I was wrong.

For the price, you can't beat them. The 9/16 ratchet wrench from HF only broke when I used it as a slugging wrench in a fairly tight spot. Plus, I think HF has good warranty.

Hello, all. I'm Tom. I'm 20 years old and am currently an outside machinist at Lyon Shipyard (just a local, privately owned, commercial shipyard; tugboats and the like) but will be starting at Norfolk Naval Shipyard as a marine machinery mechanic (fancy government way of saying outside...

If I'd known I'd be where I'm at now, I would'nt have bought those 3/8" drive Kobalt ratchet and socket sets. I'd have invested in much better wrenches and sockets like Proto, Armstrong and Snapon. I buy Craftsman now since even though the quality has gone down, it's still more convenient to...
