    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    Went to Sears today. Didn't see any Professional wrenches but they were pushing new stock of Cman ratcheting wrenches. The looked and felt like those spline wrenches they released not too long ago. Made in China. There was a decent amount of USA stock left but it's clear the imports are on the...

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    Sorry, I misunderstood the connection you were making. Given the hatred of theft around here I found the proposed option to download a just released game rather awkward.

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    So you equate the secondary market with torrent sites or you just want to bust chops? I realize these game companies have to make a profit..yadayada...but I'm hard pressed to think of something that costs so much and becomes so worthless so quick. Madden games from a 2-3 years ago can literally...

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    Why not just wait a few months and get it for a few bucks. It's amazing how quickly those sports games become worthless. At the pawn shop I worked at we had to package them together to get rid of 'em. Spend the money on some good tools or invest it. But I digress..... I might go to Sears...

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    There is that dark side of mfg. I've noticed that's rarely discussed when this topic comes up. It's a large part of why so much mfg. has been outsourced. Back in the 90s I used to make deliveries to the mostly defunct Fairless Hills steel plant. Miles and miles of diseased looking land. I...

    Here's some humbling perspective. These shots are from a reproduction of a 1909 Sears catalog. Click on the photos to make larger.

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    As a tall fella, though not as tall as you, I feel your pain. I rarely come across US made clothes at least not locally, it's a bit easier online. The best I've been able to do lately is buy US made Thorlo socks (pricey but worth it if you buy them at the right place) and US assembled New...

    Chinese Made Craftsman Professional Wrenches

    Do you guys just reserve this Made in America passion for tools and maybe cars? 'Cause that's just a drop in the bucket. I've seen a lot of fellas go on about their American made tools but damn near everything else in their material life was imported and to that they shrugged their shoulders. We...

    Today's Garage Sale Find

    Damn good price with the box. Nice. Pickings have been slim around here. No one wants to sit out in that heat. Can't blame 'em.

    Does anybody know anything about Superior Tool Company?

    I've come across some well made vintage Superior tools over the years. Definitely seems like a bang for your buck kind of company. They've been in business since 1947.

    Any updates on SK bankruptcy?

    It's been that way for months now hence my desire to see them update their site. They've had more than enough time to come up with some kind of statement. Hell, even one of those "Pardon us while we clean up our mess" signs would be a welcome sight.

    Any updates on SK bankruptcy?

    Bankruptcy or not they should really update their site with some current info. First thing you see a claim of Made in USA and "Lifetime Warranty" then their "new" 2008 catalog followed by a 2009 sale. The warranty part is incredibly misleading at this time. I've yet to receive even so much as a...
