    Cman Industrial

    From the catalog, it does not look like they all are. The stuff that used to be called "Craftsman" some 3-4 years ago and made in USA, now is called Craftsman Industrial. I'm almost certain that they're made in the same forges from the same steel. Of course, they're now priced 2-3x more now...

    New Craftsman Industrial Catalog

    I was under impression that Craftsman Industrial was a rather new brand. Also, a lot of Craftsman Professional items that are no longer on the website are in that catalog.

    New Craftsman Industrial Catalog

    The items in this catalog reminds me of what I would see in Sears stores some 5-7 years ago. the stores were empty already, but the shelves were filled with nice made in usa ratchets, wrenches, and screwdrivers, including their professional line. The conclusion I make from this is that the old...

    309pc Craftsman Mechanics Tool Set $249.99

    Sockets are probably USA, maybe ratchets too. The wrenches are likely chicom.

    Store closing

    The two oldest Chicago stores are closing too, they were in the hood where I lived for several years... South 63rd & Western and South 87th and South 87th Stony Island. My experience with closing Sears stores (e. g. when Ford City Mall location closed in 2009) is that the deals aren't that...

    DOD - DieHard Platinum 20ft. 450A 4 Gauge Booster Cable Kit $40

    Picked them up. It seems that my Sears in the ghetto did not have any NOS USA made cables. I guess that is the reality of the day. They seem to be nice good quality cables. The box is utter garbage - thin, brittle plastic, uneven clamps, with one being so tight you have to pry it open, and the...

    Irwin 2pc GrooveLock Set-8'' &10''

    got those back in December. Nice, but the real Knipex ones are nicer. They don't see much use.

    DOD - DieHard Platinum 20ft. 450A 4 Gauge Booster Cable Kit $40

    Bought one too. I've been in the market for some nice booster cables for some time. Got 6 GA aluminum ones a while ago. While 6 GA looks good on paper, I must say, they were still thin and light. I hope these will be good enough!

    154pc Craftsman Mechanics Set $99.88

    Quite often this will go for 50% off, and another $5 off coupon can be used on top of it. Edit: upon further looking, it looks like this is now clearanced... Probably not Chinese, but this may mark the beginning of the end for USA made Craftsman socket sets.

    Sears Deal of the Day - 12ft - 175a - 12g jumper cables - $9.99

    I got the 6 gauge cables for $13.50 not so long ago, those occasionally go on sale as well. I must say, even the 6 gauge are rather thin and flimsy, so unless you really need them, I'd suggest wait for a better value item to go on sale.

    Channellock 369 Linesman pliers $16

    Meijer has Channellock 369 pliers on clearance for $16, down from the normal price of $23. I have 2 pairs of these, but I had a surge of various reasons why I could use another one, so I bought it.

    Depends on the opened you have. If it requires a rolling code, then you need a rolling code key.
