    Large 1/2" drive sockets

    I own a 1 1/4", 32 and 36mm Craftsman half inch drive. Bought in the 70s. 36 was a VW flywheel nut, I think. Took something like 200 ft/lbs. That socket never blinked with a long cheater or a borrowed impact even at that high torque. Lumpy You were the "OPERATION" game voice? Yes. Take out...

    I'll join in hating Sears now

    I bought a US made chisel at Sears today. Asked the kid at the checkout if he was Chinese. He just looked at me funny. Then he gave me 10% off. And gave me a coupon for $15 off my next purchase of $100 or more. I'm pretty sure he would have carried the chisel to my car for me if I'd asked...

    More bad news from Sears today

    Craftsman is less expensive, better warranty, easier to obtain. Why don't you simply buy Channelock tools? What's causing you to have all the grief about Craftsman, a company that you clearly don't favor? That's what confuses me so much about this thread, and similar threads. If you guys hate...

    How do I mount my air compressor filter, dryer and regulator?

    The intake is in the same garage space. Just 3 ft or so away from the compressor. I did it just for sound. Although I haven't verified that it is indeed quieter, since I never did have it at the OEM location. Frank Ford's suggestion originally. Just add a few feet of rubber hose between the air...

    Where to mount your hose reel

    Mine's on a grinder stand near the compressor. The hose reels out toward the area where I'm typically using it, on the driveway for vehicles. I also roll my table saw/router table out there for use. Likewise the hose blows saw dust off the tools and project out there on the driveway, cutting...

    How do I mount my air compressor filter, dryer and regulator?

    It's the intake yes. But it doesn't go outside. It goes up to ceiling height. The OEM air filter screwed on to the end of that rubber heater hose just perfectly. I can't say if it lowered the noise. I didn't run it with the air filter on the pump at all. I started out with the thing relocated...

    Toolbox liner

    More bad news from Sears today

    I guess I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I see Craftsman USA tools at one price. That price is INSANELY lower than SnapOn or SK. I see Craftsman Evolve, and some of their other clearly marked China tools at a lower price than the USA tools. Every Craftsman ratchet and combo wrench in my local...

    More bad news from Sears today

    Your statement confuses me. For one thing, nearly all the tools at my Sears are made in USA. But let's say they weren't. If they were all made in China, then why are SnapOn and SK so expensive? From where I sit, I get USA tools from Sears for 25% or less the price of SO or SK, all three made in...

    This Tool Missing a Part?

    A scan would be groovy, thanks. I see something in the instructions there about "adjusting the L or R" marks. I have the L and R on mine but not sure how (or if) to try and adjust. Thanks - Lumpy Linus Digs Lucy www.digitalcartography.com/LinLucy.mp3
