    No offense, but I'll disagree with the Husky Pro recommendation. I bought the set at HD. Since they're US-made, I really wanted to like them. Although I liked the handles, the #1 and #2 phillips had sloppy fastener fit, and cammed out easily when significant force was applied. I'd rate them...

    Bought Cross Force Wrench Set, two 13mm, no 14mm.

    I had the same experience with a set of CrossForce wrenches with 2 of the same size. Brought the set to Sears and they exchanged them without question. For tool exchanges they don't need a receipt, but it's an easier process for them at the register if you have one. In my experience, most...

    Heads up about all of the Wiha clearance deals. I received a similar cancellation notice about the black heavy duty #2 phillips. I asked, but they're not substituting non-clearance items to complete orders (the black and purple version). I will say that they communicate well and were nice to...

    The Craftsman raised panel wrenches are still made in the US. There are a few threads here comparing old and new. The consensus (or at least the majority opinion) seems to be that the new Cman RP are actually better than the old, with better tolerances, wider machined edge on the shank, and...

    Don't talk crazy. Resistance is futile. If they're different, that just means you need both. I ordered the 12 piece set from Amazon a month ago, then ordered the black handled individual chisel drivers at half price, and also ordered the Black Friday special set, along with the side cutters...

    Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    No offense intended, but this information is incorrect. Read my post above. I took measurements of entire sets of USA-made Cman Pro wrenches, as well as my older and newer Cman raised panels, and some of the open stock wrenches in the store, and found no difference. On the open ends, the...

    WTB: Craftsman sockets, 20mm-26mm, 12pt

    Got the 22-26. Still looking for 20mm and 21mm. Prefer 1/2" drive, but would consider 3/8". Also would like 1.5" Craftsman 12pt 1/2" drive.

    There is a big difference in quality between the USA-made sets and the Chinese-made sets. For the sets on sale, this applies to the locking flex and the Cross-Force. Both the chrome finish and the machining on the USA-made sets is high quality. On the Chinese-made sets, there is pitting in...

    If you log into Cman Club, there's a red box with a link that says "show all deals" or something to that affect. There you will see all the Cman Club deals. When you add them to your cart while logged into Cman Club, the discount will be subtracted at the bottom. Also FYI, if you order over...

    If you can find the USA made sets of locking flex and CrossForce in stores during the 1/2 price Cman Club sale, that's a great deal !! I can confirm that you will get a Chinese made set if you order online (home delivery rather than store pickup) for any of the wrench sets that are changing...

    Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    When I was (spending too much time) evaluating wrenches, I found that the tolerances on almost all the wrenches I compared were very close to each other. My measurements were taken using a HF digital caliper. Yes, I could have used a more precise instrument to check absolute measurement, but...

    Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    I'll add to Bucknarly's comments (to which I agree). But before I start, I will say this: I am just as upset/angry/disappointed as most other people here with Sears and Dahaner for replacing USA-made Craftsman Professional with China-made full polish wrenches. I think it's absolutely...

    Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    A few months ago I spent a significant portion of my life going through an obsessive wrench comparison. After asking questions here, I drove from store to store buying wrench sets and comparing them, including: NOS SK sets (Ace Hardware) like-new SK set (pawn shop) multiple used Snap-On sets...
