SK / Craftsman / Snap-On: sockets & accessories, hammers, screwdrivers and more Buyer pays actual shipping cost, most things work out cheapest being priority mail flat rate. ($5-$11) Paypal as gift, or mail a check. Any questions please ask! SK 3/8" deep metric 9mm-19mm, new $60 Wiha 40mm...

I was browsing through the latest Wiha catalog and noticed they no longer show their older system 4 (4mm hex shaft) bits. Seems they might be discontinued and replaced with the new lock system. The older system had smooth shafts and the longer ones fit into a handle with a clamp type twist...

This is a new set that Craftsman just came out with. Seems pretty complete. Normal price is $99.99, currently on sale for $89.99, but an extra 10% off through Thursday brings it to 80.99. Then with SEARS2012 you get $5 off and free shipping on any order of 49.99 right now, which brings the...

For this comparison, three different manufacturers were selected. SK, Armstrong (similar to Craftsman) and Proto. All three are considered to be under the main top level brands of Snap-On, MAC and MATCO. They can be found online with decent discounts making them more affordable. The sets...

So most 12pt fasteners, either bolts or nuts, almost all have some type of flange on the bottom of the drive region, correct? And in most installations for 12pt fasteners, there would be little need for deep sockets compared to 6pt fasteners right? Therefore if one was to get 12pt and 6pt...

Back when Grainger was off loading their CK pliers, I purchased 3 of them and 1 cutter. Since I couldn't get the whole set I was trying to at the cheap prices, I'm going to let these go and find something else. They are brand new. The pictures don't do the chrome justice! From left to right...

I was really interested in buying some screwdrivers but I'm sad to see the look of all the latest offerings from Europe that have ugly bar codes on them! Is there some new law about having them on tools now?

where they have everything for you to see, touch and feel before you buy? I'm so tired of looking at stuff online and not in person..... If you know of one like this let us know!

and if so for what?

I went to the National Hardware show yesterday in Vegas. On through Thursday. The show was mostly for buyers and private label stuff, not the consumer. There wasn't anything high end at the show, and like 70% were companies produce in Asia. Saw a toolbox company, Excel I think it was, who at...

Does anyone else do this or just me? Got my second toolbox yesterday and spent an hour waxing it with Meguire's Ultimate Quik wax spray on. I do a lot of care on my car and feel that a nice coat of wax might be helpful on the toolbox. Now I'm not going to do it monthly or yearly, just once...

OK, so my father-in-law hits up the local garage sales each saturday and sometimes comes up with good finds. Yesterday he drove up and knowing that I was looking for a toolbox offered me this.... it's a Craftsman ball-bearing tool box he got for $120 !!! It's not their basic line which is...

Curious what you've found that requires a 4.5mm socket? I know of lots of 5.5.

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00932820000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 Does anyone know if this accepts the Gearwrench pieces too? I have to say it's quite tempting as a general do most things set. Nobody talks about them on here?

OK, so I ordered the special club deal for $50 on the set of 3 Craftsman ratchets part number 44992. They were marked as made in the USA (packaging made in china), as did someone else's in the tool deal forum posted. I went to the store and saw the China made ones with an identical part...

So how many of you have rust inside your sockets? If so what brand and age are they? Does it bother you? I'm sure many people will say no, and if you're working on rusted farm equipment then no worries. But when working on cars, it can be easy to impart rust growth on fasteners. Hence a lot...

I'm wondering if there are any largely stocked hand tool stores in southern california? Some place where I could go and see the tools before buying them online? Are there ever any hand tool trade shows?

I'm looking for a 6" perhaps bench grinder. Bench grinder and wire wheel. Then maybe another for polishing? Any recommendations?

Anyone in the LA area, might be interested in this. It's not mine but sounds like a good deal for someone who wants heavy gauge steel! It looks like mint condition. Is it not worth $90? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/tls/2882610503.html

So I'm still deciding on what sockets to get. I keep looking at SK but always find pictures of sockets without chrome as in the picture below. Has anyone bought a set in the last 6 months that can verify if any of them are like this? Notice some of them are satin inside?
