Good for you, you were able to get a set! :)

And this morning I already have an email offering to send me a shipping label to return, inspect, and replace the set(s). I call that excellent customer service from S-K. We shall see if I can make the same complaints if/when the new tools arrive, but the quick reply and open attitude is further...

I've purchase two new socket sets in the last month and while I like them, I wouldn't say the 'sockets' are flawless (not the ones I received). However I sent SK an email asking them to replace the sockets that have a poor finish, thin size markings that are hard to read, or improperly machined...

I prefer the lines of the bumper without the lower tube, but maybe it will help keep the car and deer away. Nice work, I wish fabrication was one of my skills.

I don't blame you ;)

Yep, Craftsman can be a bargain, I have lots of it. After some of these post today I drove to my local Sears for the million:1 chance they might have some of this closeout SK stuff. They didn't of course, but after walking the aisles and looking around, I was reminded of some of the reasons I...

Glad you guys pointed this out to me... think I'd rather continue to buy from ToolTopia now that I know some details.

You make some good points, makes me wonder if I should have invested in Wright tools instead for some new, made-in-USA stuff. Someone else had suggested it when I posted in the made in USA thread.

That 'new' set that sold for $41 looks like a nice kit!

I hadn't inspected each piece but did after your post. You're correct about the markings, some are much deeper (nicer) than others, with a few being as light as much of the recent Craftsman stuff I have. They do need to work on this if they want to call themselves "best". Only one socket is...

$15 for a combined SAE and metric set? Others are saying they saw $35, which is just a bit lower than the above link. I'd like to find them for $15.

I'd considered buying SAE and metric sets separately, hopefully for about $40 each, which would give me extra 1/4 drive ratchets. Might be more of these 1/4 drive ratchets than I need/want? I assume the seller I linked who is offering the SAE & metric as a kit has eliminated one of ratchets to...

That's what I was thinking. The sockets should be fine, the ratchet may or may not be as good as the newer stuff.

I've purchased a couple SK socket sets from ToolTopia recently (3/8 & 1/2"). Instead of buying a big 1/4" plastic cased set, I'm considering buying 1 or 2 of these 1/4" drive sets from eBay. One set would go in my shop box to help clean-up the hodgepodge of 1/4", and the other would be for a...

Well that explains the low price, not surprised. I just looked at Sears/Craftsman online... they don't appear have a set with only what I'm looking for, and it's surprisingly expensive. Their site is nearly as much a turn-off as visiting a store, I guess I just want/demand more as a customer...

At $35 those are very inexpensive, though they don't look like the reversible design.

Re: Sockets Thanks for that input. I'd like to buy them but I can wait, and $20 less makes them an even better deal! I looked more closely, this set skips a few of the smaller sizes, but I have them elsewhere, and I really like that it goes large. Not Falcom, but this would be another...
