    News From The grapevine...Craftsman warranty process.

    I have a 1927 Sears house and went to Lowes to try to warranty it and they told me they could not replace my home. I immediately asked to speak to a manager, but the manager also told me they were not able to warranty my home. 0/5 stars.

    Advice and Ideas on tool storage organization

    My garage is a big mess right now, but I have moved a lot of my stuff to clear plastic tubs and adjustable closet shelving. Painting stuff in a tub, electrical stuff in a tub, plumbing stuff in a tub, overflow tools in a tub, funnels and rubber hoses in a tub, etc. This cleared up a lot of...

    Cordless grass/string trimmer?

    I have all Dewalt cordless tools and bought into the Dewalt outdoor power equipment. After having the blower, trimmer, pole saw, chainsaw, etc, I bought the self propelled lawn mower, which I hated. I ended up returning it because the 2 10ah batteries failed. My parents bought EGO outdoor...

    Milwaukee sockets and opened end wrenches?

    Squares are weaker than a circle and the square sockets have a larger radius than round sockets, which could affect usability in tight places. 100% gimmick.

    First time buying pipe wrench

    I have a 10" and 14" for around the house. I certainly don't use them a lot, but my house has natural gas and during remodeling I've moved some of the pipes. I used them recently because my fireplace valve started leaking and I replaced it. Mine were USA made and bought at home depot a few...

    Whats going on with sk tools.?

    Lol, what the hell man. I picked it up because it appeared to be NOS because it was under $30 and in great condition. If it appeared worn out, I wouldn't have paid that for it. I don't know how you assumed all that other **** you think I said, but you are completely wrong about it.

    Whats going on with sk tools.?

    Buy American doesn't work because I bought American and I hope they get their **** sorted out? Sorry that things don't look good for SK at the moment and their Chinese ownership isn't inspiring to me. Please explain how I'm the ******* here...

    Whats going on with sk tools.?

    I've never been a big SK fan, but recently got a thumb wheel ratchet because it appeared to be NOS. Hopefully they get **** sorted out, but if I were betting on it, I'd say the brand is done.

    Need advice, putting together tool roll for car.

    i guess we view things differently. i think if i have time and ability to go get parts, i also have the ability to get the necessary tools. my comment was meant as using what you have with you to get going from dead in the water to mobile.

    I want a decent, but not bank breaking tap and die set. Help!

    My dad is a machinist and has a large amount of high quality tools, but the dude also loves buying stuff from Harbor Freight. He's always trying to get me to buy their tools when we have the need for something and I've got my mind set on something of higher quality. With that being said, he...

    I want a decent, but not bank breaking tap and die set. Help!

    regarding the Gearwrench sets, the old sets were made in Taiwan, the new ones are made in China. I have an old Taiwan made set that has been great. I noticed a lot of the poor reviews on these are on the newer China made sets. Unfortunately, Gearwrench switched COO but kept the same part...

    Tekton vs Gearwrench socket set?

    i'd personally buy Tekton over Gearwrench today, just because I think Taiwan made tools have higher quality than Apex tools made in China. They have cut costs and their products suffer to the point that I no longer will buy from them.
