For precision mini screwdrivers I have the Wiha ESD Master Technician set (black/yellow end). Love them. My favorite regular screwdrivers to use are the Craftsman Pro with the Red and black handles from around 2007.

As long as Festool, Bosch and Makita are out there, I highly doubt Dewalt owns the SCMS category.

If buying a new vise, I really like the Columbian line. But I would try to find a quality vintage vice first.

I know I am responding to an older post but this made me giggle. I have an SK ratchet that needed a rebuild kit so I went to Berland's House of Tools in Lombard(where I bought this particular ratchet nearly 25 years ago.) Surely I knew I might have a problem getting the kit when I went back to...

Man, if that thing had some security Torx, it would be perfect. Nice looking set.

Frys have been going out of business in stores nationwide. It seems as though they have technically already bankrupted but continue to somehow keep the brick and mortars open but mainly only restock the import $5-$10 items. Used to be one of my favorite non-tool stores. The stores are now ghost...

Yes. It included the station and iron with 2 tips, sponge and the tray with brass shavings for cleaning.

I purchased the hakko fx-888d digital model from frys electronics in store for $60. They ran that sale at least 3 times a year. It has been the best soldering station I have ever owned which includes several eller and stand alone and stations. Unfortunately the frys near me is no longer stocking...

Cordless = Makita( I bought the lxt platform in 2005 when they were basically the first LiPo battery system out along with the bulky Milwaukee v28. I added the multitool 10 years in [2015]. Corded I have 2 harbor freights. The blue one with yellow switch for variable speed and the Red one with...

Got a link for that? Its showing $69 when I went to site.

Looks like Bosch is now up for $30 off $150 @ amazon

The yearly amazon makita deal is now up to go along with the Dewalt which has been up for a while now. Still waiting on Bosch and Milwaukee. https://www.amazon.com/Makita-holiday-promotion/b?ie=UTF8&node=11462160011

Makita already has an excellent 1/2" impact for the 18V Lxt platform. It is Model # xwt08z. Awesome powerful gun. Makita 3/8 impact wrench is good too. As far as the ratchet you can buy the milwaukee as the set with batteries(m12) or buy it as a bare tool and find batteries locally on craigslist.

LOL. I just thought Taiwan Tom had a nice ring..... How about Beijing John Menard?

I still use this type of set that I bought back in the early 90's (Not exclusively). Mine have held up well, but I thought the quality of these made in the last 20 years has gone downhill with much of the Craftsman tools. Am I incorrect?

Exactly. "Taiwan Tom Menard".

Good possibilty of that me thinks. Blain's Farm and Fleet just added WIX filters(although a smaller selection for now).

For anyone going to the Borg today seeking to locate these sets, check both the holiday displays and the regular Dremel section. They had some of these sets in both departments at the two Borgs I went to yesterday. Of course in the Dremel section, they were marked full price (19.99) and in the...
